Looks like your recovery is going well. How are you feeling afterward?

fantastic ! started playing ball hockey 6 months after surgery & roller / ice after 7 months. My 1 year exam is coming up !!

Ice Dogs Roller Hockey:

It seems like they took all the feedback into account as they were making the twenty twenty four models

the Konekt 2 has improvements that the original Konekt 1s don't 

interesting review / comparison of Konekt1 & HF2

excellent write-up on the original Konekt 1s:

OK, I'm sold. That all black look was the final piece that those will replace my well served True One-pieces. 

i'm so tired of spray painting my current skates !!

love, love, LOVE the all black look !

I'm glad I waited for 2024  !!

They don’t now but the new Konekts will come standard with black

wow, really ??

I'm buying the Konekts when the 2024 model comes out

I talked to Bauer and they said that the insert liner will have a black option next year, and not just lime green, but I did not hear anything about the blade holder!!

(I did not think to ask them)

thx !!

does Bauer make  black Vertexx Edge Holders?

I currently paint mine, but find I have to touch them up nearly every skate

I have now practiced ice hockey three times, with no issues and I'm almost in game shape.

I had one roller hockey practice game, and our season starts Monday night, I'm good to go !

I went as a backup this weekend to my team's ball hockey tournament in Sea Isle City New Jersey ... just a few uneventful mop-up duty minutes, but I can officially say that I am back to playing !! classy gesture by Brian Fioretti !

Did you just bake them once and they were good to go or did you need to do anything extra? 

that's what I hear, I stopped in my local Pure Hockey and he scanned my foot on the special machine they have.

I've always been in Bauer 8.5 skates.

he told me I scan between an 8 and an 8.5, and size 8 is for me in Konekt.

he said the best thing about the shell is that when they bake it it can go from a regular to EEE

In 2008, 10 months after my hip replacement surgery, the surgeon gave me the same advice. Still ……… it took a clean cut breakaway by a premier player to convince me that my body could take it. I made a save on a close in shot and spread my operated leg to smother the rebound. I was back!

At a post surgery checkup following my knee replacement (2018) the surgeon (different doctor) said in an emphatic tone “No way.” To playing goal. Some pleasure skating but no hockey, especially no goaltending.

I sold my nearly new Brown gear, pads, gloves, C/A, pants and jock. That’s when I discovered Yoga, Aquafit, successful weight loss and my cobwebbed bicycle.

Nine months afterwards I began to play once again. Mind you, with some used but quality gear. I had retained my Harrison mask and Graf Skates.

Granted, I am not playing at a high level, as are most of you. But I am in the game.

I wish you all a long, healthy and fun hockey life.      .

 

that is awesome !!!
