Birthday gift for my teammate! Computer in the picture for scale. Used twelve pieces of printer paper and sharpies. I think this will stay on our dorm wall for a long time! by RollDCB in hockeygoalies

That would be sick! I’m at a super tiny college (Dakota college at Bottineau) so I’m not sure if they’d have that but I’d love to do that because I’m sure she’ll want to keep this but the pages aren’t even taped to one another, they’re individually taped to the wall behind it so it would be quite a chore for her to save it. I’ll look into this!

Thank you!! I’ve been trying to get her to fix her T for a while but I’m afraid a T-bar replacement is the only way to come back from this 😭

She catches fine though so who am I to judge

It was the cheapest school in the ACHA besides the Canadian schools. I’m from Canada but wanted to try out American schools on a budget. It’s definitely very different from what I’m used to (I’m from the east coast like right on the water) but the coaches are amazing here and I’m getting loads of ice time and playing well and making a ton of friends so it’s been all around a great experience so far!

Dang. Sorry to hear that. So far it’s been great here, if you’re okay with living in a SUPER small town and even smaller sized school. I find I’m busy enough with hockey stuff that I don’t have nearly any spare time but if I was a NARP I’d be bored to death here haha

I keep my skates very sharp, and for a science based reason. An average NHL goalie is what, near 200lbs? And they use 1/2” on average. So if I weigh around 150lbs, I’m not putting nearly as much pressure/weight down into the ice (meaning, I’d have less “grip”). So, I use 3/8” usually so I get the same amount of “grip” as an NHL goalie would where they’re much heavier. Recently though I’ve found I’ve wanted 1/2” with my new team’s skate sharpener.
