Sorry if it's been asked before, but what adjustments do you guys do, if at all for really really soft ice? Not sure if I need to go deeper in my hollow, or not.
I've been blessed until now playing at really decent rinks in the summer as well, but recently, I've come across a few in my area that seem to have a lot of water in the crease in the beginning, and ice that's a lot softer than I'm used to.
I've tried clearing the water with my stick a bit, but scraping the surface to clean it with my blades in the beginning seems to make it worse. If my blades are freshly sharpened it's more manageable, but often times when I try to push (especially in the beginning), I'm just scraping the ice and not going anywhere. Or is it more that my pads that are getting stuck?
