longboarderj Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 My son needed some thing to help him move in the crease in the butterfly, especially since he's a little undersized....here's what I built:. The plates are made from the same plastic that roller fly uses but without the ball bearings. I cut them to fit his pads with my scroll saw and beveled the edges with a belt sander to keep from catching on sport court, then attached them with industrial Velcro to keep from damaging the pad. I'm going to make a set for myself also as he slides as well with these as I do with roller fly. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Pretty crafty. I grew up playing at that roller rink. Some people would put Armor All on their pads so they could slide around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 What rink is that? I think I played there back in college for the NCRHA Nationals in 04.

Edit - I know nationals were held in the Anaheim area but I cannot find the name of the rink on the NCRHA website, it just lists Anaheim. From what I remember I think it was in an industrial complex. I just remember there being a lot of windows along the perimeter of the building. You could see outside from the rinks. Very different from most rinks I have ever played in which there were no windows at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaheim Hockey Club closed in the mid to late 00s, I think that's what you were thinking of. 2 big rinks side by side, divided by locker rooms on the ground floor, then stairs up to a long walkway/viewing area?

I'm not asking about the kid, what would him standing in front of a rink have to do with anything? Anyways, yes, the rink you described sounds pretty close to what I remember. I definitely remember the platform viewing area between the rinks and I remember the exterior walls having a lot of windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longboarderj Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 This is Irvine, it is an outdoor facility that is covered. It has been around a long time and had several different names. They hold a couple big NARCH tounaments here each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 How do these slide plates attach and remove? I'm trying to find a solution that can easily be added for ball hockey play and removed for ice hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadlocked1 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Get rollerfly which has straps for removal. These are probably adhesive-velcro'd or glued on if I had to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I already use Rollerfly. It's a great product, especially when playing on wood or Sport Court floors. It has problems with more rubbery-type floors, and on concrete, it gets worn easily if I don't use the metal balls. Is there a product that can slide on rubbery floors, yet can be removed with ease to play ice hockey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
