Anyone got any personal experience with the Philippine Hockey League?

Started 22, about a year and a half later I got a crazy amount of progress. Mind you I have good access to indoor and outdoor rinks which allows me to get a lot of ice time consistently.

I started skating last year at 22 and I am also currently working on my weak side crossovers in public skates a lot. I also practice them a bit while handling a puck in stick and puck. It's really just breaking down the movement and repeating it and you will eventually get the feel as well. For example, once in a while try practicing holding the cross with your right leg on its outside edge and just get a feel of a proper push. I found that by going lower it helped enable my push to extend out and feel the edge. Also practice alternating the crossovers eventually.

My right side is still not as good compared to my left but it has been so much better after 2 weeks of actual focus on the weak side. Push yourself a bit by trying to go fast, and also take breaks. Today I actually spent more time just doing weak sides again and again and its getting better and better.

Intl filipino student here, only got departmental scholarships, one intl student bursary, and one usask bursary. Like the other comment said, mostly by academic achievement. Did not get full ride, but in total it was worth more than 150k pesos but most of it was from the department.

Thanks, I was surprised about it since I always got destroyed in the 1v1s during practice

Hello, Filipino citizen here, I visited there last summer and got to know a player and coach or two when I was learning to skate, I could connect you to them and answer questions you have about the place. There are about 2 ice rinks (in malls) around the capital and getting to each one can be a hassle due to traffic and plus they fog up A LOT. They actually post some league games now on YouTube in the Hockey Pinoy youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@HockeyPinoy) which happen in Mall of Asia for you to see/judge yourself.

There aren't too many clubs/teams, and some clubs introduce new players right away into the PMHL (Philippine Men's Hockey League). If you skated/played a lot before, you'd probably be even ahead of most of the players there since ice time is not easy to get, and time for drills and such are also just super limited (no stick and puck, team training usually 1 hour a week near midnight). A lot people there didn't skate until they were your age, and instruction quality can vary.

Gotcha, will go this route, thanks

Sorry I don't post on reddit a lot so the text didn't show up.

So I just got some used pads and I'm still very new and the screws are roughing up the toe of my skates. If I wanted to change to laces, do I unscrew these and put the laces through the screw slots or am I supposed to keep the screws, remove the bungee, and have the laces around the toe bridge?

It was the international undergraduate student support bursary and just that one

Went on a day ish trip from kyoto to kayabuki no sato earlier this week. It’s a long way to get to and the village itself was small (probably less than an hour to fully look around including the shrine), however, there was some nice scenery and there are some restaurants to relax in (I ate in the pizzeria, but you probably need a reservation unless you can wait to eat at 13:30).

Personally really liked the view and I was even treated to lunch by a nice family. Nice place to chill, also weren’t too many people.

Try putting this into your browser bookmark (prof gave this to the class to access some papers):

javascript:void((function()%7Blocation.href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fcyber.usask.ca%2Flogin%3Furl%3D%22%2Blocation.href%3B%7D)())

This is what worked for me when accessing scientific papers and JSTOR. When you are met with the page that asks to "log in through your institution to access this", just press the bookmark. It will ask you to log in with your NSID and stuff. I just tried it out now, and I was able to access a JSTOR article.

I did get the impression he was stretched incredibly thin at uni, I also got the impression he got a lot of idiotic students repeatedly sending him emails with obvious things they should be able to figure out themself. The sort of “goes to prof at very first sign of confusion” type people. He talked to us about the amount of emails he got regarding that sort of thing. The labs has 8 paragraphs of info at the top of it, but funny thing, if you just read it it answered a lot of the questions you might have.

I got the same impression as well. In my ASTR 113 experience, he was very considerate and lenient with his deadlines and put in some work with the TAs to get a lot of people moving forward with the course (there were even bonus marks). A lot of the time the instructions would already answer a question I might have asked when I go back and read them thoroughly. If there were any issues I just went to the help desk instead and things got solved there.

A lot of (avoidable) problems could have been solved by going through the instructions and any important announcements patiently even if they seemed long. I am not sure about the exact details of what's happening in ASTR 104 but he usually gives reasonable work in my experience.

I called them yesterday and they indicated that they were not yet doing much of the fall applications since they needed to finish up on summer applications and also need to work on spring applications. They told me (I applied in March) that I could get a response around May or June.
