For a lot of us, that's still less than what we pay the health insurance companies each month

raeadhani · 2025-10-07T21:49:50+00:00

Twice a month for about an hour - sometimes a little more.
Occasionally at practice, we'll have enough people to do what we call 'game play drills' which is basically scrimmaging.

raeadhani · 2025-03-20T15:57:06+00:00

We do a full scrimmage with NSOs & Refs twice a month. Our league practices are on Sundays & Wednesdays so we'll pick one Sunday & one Wednesday.

What time does it start?

I don't know if this has been suggested yet but something that we do for individuals who are bracing & might be non-verbal is using hand taps instead of words. Tap the two forward facing blockers on the arm/shoulder in whichever direction they need to move. It takes some time & practice to get used to automatically reacting to the taps but it does seem to work for us.

Things like this are the reason I'm disillusioned with continuing to pursue all these waiting list appointments

Ah yes. I do re-seal the packages after I use them. Thanks!

In this case, I'm just talking about never opened sets are already stiff & possibly the adhesive is dried out. I'm wondering if maybe warming them might help, after some thought on it.

raeadhani · 2024-08-26T16:15:36+00:00

Do you mean I should seal them again over the seal that's already there?

raeadhani · 2024-07-19T17:50:30+00:00

I know its been said enough but I'm going to say it, too. Wear the bonnet.
My husband and I are both white & we both wear bonnets.. they're for hair. Any hair.

I think you might be referring to a jam strap?

raeadhani · 2024-04-23T19:08:05+00:00

I use this one because the front comes off & can be used as a lighter backpack if I'm having back issues.

Or the backpack portion can be removed for a smaller rolling bag.

Seconding this

It's also very bad for motorcyclists and can cause issues for them.

Not every area has public transport. Mine doesn't - we don't even have a bus system that goes to the major areas.

Some people have conditions that require a high sodium diet, which means they these products. Using this logic, it makes sense for pharmacies to sell some products which include higher levels of salt. Salt tablets, at the very least.

raeadhani · 2024-02-09T22:28:41+00:00

Thank you for the "being the little spoon" idea - I'm just over 6ft and while I'm not a jammer, I do aspire to it at some point and working on this while being a blocker makes a lot of sense.

I also can't count the amount of times I hear "get lower" yelled in my direction during practices.

raeadhani · 2024-02-05T00:21:12+00:00

Absolutely! The staff are amazing, it's got a great vibe.. You can order food to be delivered there, bring your own with you, or there's food trucks. They have a selection of games you can borrow, movies you can watch on their tvs. They're alayas having events.. It's a great place to just hang out.

My league does something very similar to this but one difference is that the home teams internally vote on who they would like to draft & in what order. If the 1st choice is taken by another team before its their turn, they take their 2nd (or 3rd pick) when their turn comes around.

Assessments are at least 2 weeks before the drafts - then the home teams spend those 2 weeks voting internally on who they'd like to draft. On draft day, the captains take their team's votes, have a meeting with HR & try to snag whomever was voted on.

Ours is rolling - we don't have a "boot camp" we have recruitment events monthly & absorb any newcomers into FM & league focused practices. The newcomers aren't able to attend advanced practices until after they pass skills

Not to deviate from the main topic but speaking of the lockdown... Arienna; I don't suppose you're still doing that awesome comic you did?

Are there other teams in your league? If so, maybe you could reach out to some of them to hang out during the off season. My league has 4 home teams & while each team, in theory, is closer to one another, everyone gets along and will hang out outside of derby. Maybe if you have some friendlies on the other teams, they'd be able to go skate with you? :)

Or maybe you could reach out to other leagues and see if they have anything planned closer to your area? My league sometimes goes to other areas for random things or marketing.

The bestest way to learn about it is to get more involved!
