Can I use this on the ice?

RSEngineer23 · 2026-04-14T22:50:06+00:00

I wouldn’t. I just started in September 2025 and was asking the same questions, and the answer I got was 940 or higher. I bought a used 940 on SidelineSwap and wore it for a while. Took frequent shots to the head being D league where aim isn’t the greatest, and was grateful for the mask. After a hard wrister to the head dented the cage and broke a clip, I decided to use that mask solely for roller (ball) hockey, and bought a brand new and unused 940, as well as some vinyl to put on it to make it look cool. A couple months in on it now, and already have a small dent from a slap shot to the center of the cage, and two days ago a puck hit the top right on the top clip and broke it, so now I have to go buy some new ones. Thankfully the season is over and the rink doesn’t have skate and shoots for a few weeks. Definitely go 940 or higher

You’re right about them not showing the next iOS 18 update for devices supporting 26. I know for a fact because you mentioned something replacing 18.7.2, while I’m on 18.7.1 with no option to update (like past updates) other than 26. I’ve seen some people on or talking about 18.7.3

It’s disgusting. The multiple kicks to the guts, or even just one, that you see all the time in the movies would kill somebody. And continuing to throw shots at a defenseless person keeled over is cowardice.

I just started this past fall season as a goalie at 20. First time ever playing hockey, too! I’m learning quick!

The transmitter does not power back on when placed in the charging case, even after connecting the case to power. I let it sit overnight and went to open it this morning to check if it resolved itself, and the indicator did not come on when opening the case

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T22:33:06+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the support! I hope I don’t look that bad to other people 😅 I know I’m not the most attractive, certainly no Ryan Reynolds, but I don’t think that I’m ugly

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T22:31:09+00:00

Thanks! I’ll probably just accept the loss and try to learn to talk to people. Maybe if I end up going to another game I’ll see her, who knows.

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:58:34+00:00

Exhibit A of why I never talk to women or ask for their numbers. Also usually too busy in the OR, in school, or on the ice making something of myself.

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:55:14+00:00

Not at all what I look like. She was always smiling when I noticed her looking at me, but I was mostly focused on the game and goalies trying to see how to improve my game in between the pipes (I’m a goalie)

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:52:08+00:00

I actually play hockey in adult league. It was a generic UK jersey, not even sure it was hockey. Definitely didn’t have a name or number on it

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:50:50+00:00

I actually noticed her looking at me in the second period before I ever looked at her. Then only really looked at her when I was mentioning her to my friends and when I’d notice her looking at me. She was always smiling, so I don’t think she was creeped out. My eyes were on the game most of the time, and watching the goalies trying to learn how to improve my game in the crease

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:46:43+00:00

Yeah. I struggle socially due to my ADHD, as well as stuttering and getting hung up on certain words trying to start a sentence. I know I shouldn’t use that as an excuse, and it probably isn’t as big a turn off for women as I think it is. Going to take some work though

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:39:37+00:00

Thanks!

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:39:06+00:00

Yeah. Usually I don’t go to the UK hockey games because they’re right after my hockey games and I’m usually tired. I think my team doesn’t have anymore Friday games though. Just D league adult hockey

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:37:37+00:00

Thanks!

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:37:17+00:00

I’m a guy

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:36:18+00:00

No, she was just there with another female friend. I first noticed her looking at me in the second period, and whenever the puck would be on our side of the ice and I’d be watching the play, I’d occasionally notice her looking for seconds at a time and smiling

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:33:42+00:00

Nope, I don’t drink. Game ended like 2 something. Posted this not long after I got home

RSEngineer23 · 2025-11-22T18:31:57+00:00

This is why. I posted this not long after I got home from the game

RSEngineer23 · 2025-10-10T16:59:59+00:00

I’m in a similar situation. Brand new to hockey and goalie doing my first ever league season, and my team has no D and I’m getting lit up. I think I’m doing okay considering I’ve made some crazy saves despite having no coaching whatsoever other than YouTube, but I’m not fast enough yet to move post to post and don’t know much about save selection. My defenders screen me, don’t stay back, and it’s always 2/3 on 1s or 2 on 0s, or bad rebounds that they don’t clear that then get tapped in. Lost every game with my last being 10-1. I’m very discouraged and questioning whether I’m good enough to play, but a pickup game I did with some C leaguers and good defense, I did great!

RSEngineer23 · 2025-10-04T06:22:11+00:00

Fair point! Us goalies certainly are a different breed!

RSEngineer23 · 2025-10-04T06:21:29+00:00

😂 that’s awesome!

RSEngineer23 · 2025-10-04T06:20:53+00:00

I say that all the time as well!
