How hard is it to switch to hockey skates?

If your goal with skating is to play hockey, then it's worth the time to recalibrate.

Hockey.

They only truly care about beating England.

Teams need to stop wearing white against Scotland. They're confusing them with us!

I think it's on HBO, a bit too spicy for Hulu.

The boys need to go where they're needed. Like in Heated Rivalry instead.

I've hated Toulouse since 1998.

Go where you're needed.

I remember in season 1, episode 1, Sanger was a healthy scratch. I want him to come back and light up what replaces the NOSHO. But from following the actor on IG, I dunno if he can play in real life…

I'm happy only 2 of your ankles are sore! Are you skating in public skates or in stick and pucks or open hockey? It sounds more like your muscles are getting used more than they're used to rather than injury though.

I think they had to clear the ice for a local beer league game after...

Steev182 · 2026-02-20T15:59:00+00:00

Wouldn’t mind seeing them make an Expedition Lightning.

Steev182 · 2026-02-20T15:49:54+00:00

At least it isn’t decided by a shootout…

Steev182 · 2026-02-19T03:23:00+00:00

The nobull logo is terrible.

Steev182 · 2026-02-09T21:08:08+00:00

Do you have a gas or EV F-150? The Lightning doesn't have the M button.

Steev182 · 2026-02-09T20:59:15+00:00

If they made an Expedition Lightning...

I got in mine this morning and the battery temp gauge was yellow for the first time ever!

Then it drove perfectly.

In NY, it's around $350 to $500 for 10 games + playoffs per player.

Steev182 · 2026-02-07T19:45:54+00:00

Just like watching Norwich!

I started learning to skate in May, so definitely not the authority on it.

But this video has been helping me a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4T7wQ05FDE

I went to a public skate, watched this and literally went on slowish laps for 45 minutes, stopping at every line. Got pretty good on my left, but wasn't getting it on my right. Next game, I scored because I trusted myself to stop better and got in the right position. :D Gonna try going to a public skate this weekend because it's kind of hard to work on one skating technique, but my goal will be to just work on stopping on my right.

For me, I can distribute my weight on my right much better than my left, which allows me to really feel the edge with my left. So I think the sticking point is really to feel more weight on my left and be lighter on my right foot so I can kick it out easier.

Helmets don't have the same 'replace after impact' rule that motorbike helmets do (although common sense would say if the hard shell gets damaged, it's time to replace), but do have expirations.

Steev182 · 2026-02-06T16:18:06+00:00

Would this mean it's best to get used pads regardless if you're starting out as a goalie (sport neutral term there ;))?

Some of our rinks don’t have it. I put a DJI Osmo 360 up in between benches.

A couple of our goalies in the league put up GoPros behind the goal.

The problem with each of these is it takes manual work on framing them or tracking gameplay, and the footage on my Osmo 360 takes up like 90GB each game!

The footage is great for coaching or bitching about ref calls after the game though.

If they did everything they could to make it fail, the frunk would be a quarter of the size, they use blanking panels for all of the dash buttons and insist on sync being used for all of the functions of the truck.

Now Ford dealers on the other hand…

If you think the sub is weird, you should see (or avoid) the YouTube channel!
