I don't understand. Put the pegs in yourself after he's off the ice and the doors are all closed. Take them out yourself before he gets on the ice. And if he does somehow take them he is stealing them. Its your property, demand them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not as simple as it sounds. It’s a park district rink, and this person has the same power as a Park Ranger at this place. Question her authority and you’re banned. If it were not my only option for play, I would not even go to that rink because it is forever away and this rink attendant has WAAAAAAAY too much power. If there was any other rink doing Sunday afternoon drop in, I would go there instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d even donate my gatorade bottle holders to the rink. What would you do if Piranha Peg came out with an amazing water bottle holder and peg much?

Give me one thing in a rink that has been around that long that hasn't changed in design, quality etc...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy that he would have that much power. Our local rink guy is super strict about everything, don’t go on to ice before your alotted time get off the second your ice time is over, be out of the dressing room 1/2 hr after your ice ends, no drinking in the dressing rooms, no kicking a soccer ball around. But he has never made a move for my Pegs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't tell you how many times I've kicked off the post, only to kick the net off, and then have to defend myself because the other team assumed "he just kicked the net off to get a whistle!" Wait, if I buy these I won't be able to kick the net off to get a whistle anymore? Hmm....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Goalie Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 After another 2-hour pickup session in which merely breathing on the posts sent them flying, I’ve had enough. Ordered a set of Pirahna Pegs. Can’t wait to try them out. Only thing I have a little anxiety about is all the staring that’s going to happen when the goalies switch halfway through and I go to remove/repeg the net and take them with me to the opposite net...

coopaloop1234 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 @TheGoalNet Unfortunately no, due to recent budget cuts, we've been unable to sway the local government to allow this expenditure. I do know that with a donated set in hand, being able to show the board a tangible product and how it will improve drop-in revenue will allow us to tide the battle in our favour. Please PM me for shipping details. Gracias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hours of research with other common adjustable spiked pegs, we discovered that the housing components became fragile, dented, bent and ultimately compromised the spikes performance all together over time. Another major concern with the adjustable spikes were they became loose and unscrewed due to the vibration and jarring of the net. With the spike construction being a major component of the functionality of the Piranha Peg, we felt building a solid spike system and embedding it in rubber was the best construction that would stand the test of time when using the Piranha Peg.

insertnamehere Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just about to order my own set. I'm sick of readjusting a net every time I touch a post. Only one rink I play at has marsh pegs, I don't understand why that's not just the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one rink I play at has marsh pegs, I don't understand why that's not just the standard. None of ours have those, likely due to the time for install and maintenance... The rink guys never set up the nets either... They're usually left out against the boards... ours here is just the typical standard junk peg. Most have been around so long that they've rounded off on the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
