Hopefully Warrior pads DON'T break into the NHL, then they'll have to pay license fees and prices on pads will go up

Definitely get comfortable with regular skating before you aim for goalie specific stuff. It might be good to get some in-line skates and practice even more around the house or in the neighborhood. You can easily log more time like that compared to going to 1 hour ice sessions 1-2 times a week. Movements are generally the same, Ok except stopping, but anyway, should help you get on your way faster. For goalie specific movements, you'll need to strap some pads on and find a place where you can practice movements on the ice somewhere. Or maybe see if you can find like a goalie clinic somewhere. Or find a team that is willing to take a goalie that is just learning his way. Good luck!

You got a bunch of teamsters runnin the ice there, LOL?

Yea, I'm doing good, just ramping down the hockey a bit. My older son found a Div.3 team where's he's happy. He wants to aim for Div.2, but only if he can find something without all the drama and politics. My younger son stopped playing hockey a couple of years ago and took up kickboxing and bodybuilding. He can probably kick my ass by now, so I just let him do what he wants, LOL.

Don't be so harsh on yourself, being square and getting lucky is what it's all about Yea, the lockdowns had bad physical (and mental) affects on alot of people. For our age (40-50 and up) it's alot harder to bounce back after en extended time off. I "retired" from competitive teams and just play with "fun" teams now. Hard getting back into it for sure, gotta put in some extra effort and just have fun and roll with it. Yea, download the video and edit the highlights, otherwise way too long. Great save at 09:51 tho

Me as a Rangers fan..."this year is gonna be different"... then...

I'm 50 years old, english is my native language, and I've never used the word "usurping" in my life. I'm not even sure how to pronounce it, or what it means. But I'm gonna see about working it into my daily vocabulary. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.... sorry if I ursurped anyone....

I have G-netik 2's, and the leg channel strapping is pretty good. But the velcro toe-tie thing was too "stretchy" for me, I had to put skate laces on to keep the pads from wobbling around (I'm old skool tho, younger guys like that wobbly shit, so whatever floats your boat.) Also the velcro boot strap didn't work out well, as the velcro started peeling off after 1-2 seasons. Now I have to tape it every time I dress to keep it from falling off.

Posting this here is like an alcoholic walking into a bar and going "Hey guys, you know I really shouldn't drink today..."

What does JRZ stand for? The guys initials or smth?

Nice set. I heard of JRZ, but didn't know the deal with them. Read up on their website a little, I remember they did something for/with Bauer, but seems they are 100% their own thing now. Price and quality looks good. Regarding the colors, did you check on different computers? Sometimes depending on the monitor, etc. they can vary. Personally, I like the dark "Latvian red" you got there. If it doesn't match your jersey, then ask your team to make new jerseys, or find a new team

Just be careful. Sometimes when you go to meet your internet friends behind 7-11 late at night, they turn out to be cops. Just sayin'

Just out of curiosity, what did he die from? (If the family prefers not to say, I of course understand.)

The post below stuck with me because it was so out of left-field...advertising his hair-styling and skate-sharpening business on the face of his pads. That's just so fucking.... Bunnyman ...I was imagining him sharpening your blades and cutting you a mullet all in under 15min

Rest easy Bunnyman. We're all just passing thru. @seagoal you got a special new puck for your collection
