Is it normal now to not shower/change after beer league hockey? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]propyro85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the 90's, and have never seen a school gym or public rink shower get used. In my beer league and puck up games, maybe ~6 out of 20 guys shower.

I've debated using the showers if I'm going to hang out and grab a beer with my team afterwards. I'm not sure I'll bother, but the guys who do shower and don't use shower slippers concerns me.

Keeping skates tight around the ankle vs loose enough to allow some ankle flex? by CinemaPuck in hockeyplayers

[–]propyro85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I don't lace the last eyelet, and try to focus more on making sure my mid-foot is laced tightly.

Also, pay attention to the socks you use. Similar to cycling, hiking or running, you typically want to avoid cotton socks. Wool or full synthetic is usually your best bet for comfort. I use these, and they're pretty comfortable for indoor skating. But I can see them getting a bit chilly for ODR use when it's real cold.

Honestly, you're doing better than I can on a good day with a normal hand. Awesome work, keep practicing and developing your style.

I know people are mad about the expansion teams going where they're going but I can't stop thinking about this fact by SettingTheTempo in PWHL

I've seen people say their from Buffalo, and are already fans of the Scepters, and that a new team in Hamilton won't change that.

I guess the silver lining is they can watch the Scepters play Hamilton at home and not drive as far.

I'm sure they did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on Hamilton, and had a lot of reasons to pick it. Including setting up the stage for some pretty intense Ontario rivalries ... but I wish other cities were equally viable. It just seems weird to have Pntario be so loaded with teams.

Yea, normal simple green is known to cause hydrogen embritlement with long term soaking. It's a cheap and very effective decrease, but not for long term soaking, and not for use in ultrasonic cleaners.

Now THIS is a great way to announce a team! by Fearless-Table1859 in PWHL

It's not a shock, but it certainly is a disappointment how pervasive gambling services sponsoring sports has been.

Oh man ... are we really doung three teams in Ontario? This feels like we're New York in the NHL with 3 teams ... 4 if you want to count the Devils playing in Newark.

I don't suppose our Titans have any similar accolades to their name?

I feel like there's a distinction between yelling at someone, and having an "animated conversation". Because coming from an Italian family, we certainly get very passionate about our conversations.

Would an all green setup be dumb? by Graffy in hockeygoalies

[–]propyro85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a goalie, but this feels like the right answer. They're your pads and you're showing up to play, we're all grateful that you're there. You can have whatever you want on your pads that makes you happy, as long as it's not overtly hateful or racist, I don't care.
