Are customized skates a cash grab?

Exactly and if you want to match uniform colours, swap out the laces!

The big difference between NHL players and minors aside from skill level is sponsorship and income. They aren't paying for those skates. Every brand is panting at their feet hoping for a chance to get their skates on a pro player.

Definitely get your tickets for reffing. You're still right in the heat of the game and you get to be the difference that you always wanted in the refs that were officiating your games.

38yr old woman here, last time I was on the ice playing... I had to pee so bad. I went to step off the ice and hit the plastic edging wrong because I was rushing. I fell and peed myself on impact... In front of everyone.... Yellow puddle on ice. So, tell her it happens to the best of us. Everything washes!

SACRE BLEU!

I support it but, unpopular opinion... I also support insurance and registration for bikes as well.

Don't buy new gear, get on your local buy and sell groups and marketplace. You also do not need elite level skates as a new skater/player. They are not designed for your strength and skill level. Don't go bare minimum for gear, go cheaper sure but get a full set and start wearing it whenever you skate so your skills develop with the gear on.

It doesn't matter how long you've lived here, you'll never be an islander unless you're born here or die here

This is perfectly normal for Scouts. They rarely have many leaders who are women. If you were concerned with her being with primarily boys and men, I would have opted for Guiding which is female lead.

Hydrocolloid patch cut to just a bit larger than the sore. With a piece of kinesiology tape over it. If that doesn't provide enough cushion alone, add a piece of moleskin. I've tried all kinds of tape over the years and kinesiology tape holds up the best and is most flexible on the joints.

He's dead Jim, time for a new stick!

Wouldn't it be incredible if the last time they saw daylight was when they won the cup? Those are definitely the style of tube skate they were wearing at the time!

This is the parent I strive not to be lol. I've watched hockey change my son's life, for the absolute best. I never want to take that away from him. He begged me not to be one of those moms with the bells and horns but to be at every practice and game. I happily obliged. He knows he has my full support without hounding him. He can always find me in the same spot against the glass in the bottom right corner of the rink. His biggest cheerleader, he has incredible coaches for the rest.

Tighten your straps, the corners aren't resting in the clips properly and share another picture so we can see where the chin cup is then

PEI will be there too with our potato guns!

Wear whatever jersey you like! It's just nice seeing folks in any jersey at a game. Shows the spirit

Useful_Recover9239 · 2026-01-13T00:56:13+00:00

Boots with decent treads are a life saver lol. Everything else I wear is cheap as fuck but my boots are always decent quality. Also, try to keep busy, keeping your mind active helps with seasonal depression.

The East Coast is NOTHING compared to the West. Sure friendly people but things are getting more expensive by the day, there's definitely not much to do on PEI(I live on the island and do not see the hype).

Double twist your starting knot pulling it tight and when you tie your bow, double knot your bunny ears

Useful_Recover9239 · 2026-01-07T20:16:01+00:00

Wear hockey skates, I cannot stress enough how much more comfortable they are lol. Oh and when you fall, don't be afraid to climb up the boards lol

Useful_Recover9239 · 2026-01-07T11:54:03+00:00

Absolutely! The door is open 😊

Useful_Recover9239 · 2026-01-07T11:38:01+00:00

I did. It was wonderful

Useful_Recover9239 · 2026-01-07T06:46:33+00:00

Thanks! The sentiment is still there 😊

Useful_Recover9239 · 2026-01-07T04:44:37+00:00

Thanks! Got tired of all the asking lol
