I can feed you some connections if you're looking to pic and choose when you can play. PM/DM me if interested. All in Ottawa. I'm hurt and I appreciate that they keep looking me up for updates, but in the meantime, you know...

Been listening to some Gary Vee to?

I don't understand half of what y'all have written, but I'm digging it I need a lucky break with the lottery

Ok, similar to my 2S. I'll give it a try when I can suit up again.

Got it. What model c\a you using?

@Punisher Goalie are you in Canada or US? US clients get to order directly whereas Canadian clients have to go through a pro shop. That could explain the delay maybe? You ordered the Pro Spec ones. What size? With or without suspenders? I'm asking cause if I try to wear mine that are XL without and don't tuck, they feel like an oversized diaper falling off my ass. I see a lot of goalies play with their pants loose, mostly the teens, and shit ain't even sagging. I know it's not cause of glutes implants lolll. Maybe the internal belt? Never experienced one before.

Bon travail mon homme! If the LNAH would get it together, they could be the SPHL/FPHL of Quebec. Hell, you're playing more than most 30 year old I've come across over the decades! I think cutting back to 2-3 games a week at our age gives us ample time for recovery and physical maintenance

Ironic isn't it that Warrior is based in Montreal and we can't get much of anything cause it ships from oceans away. Just boggles my mind.

I've been Youtubing and podcasting Rich Dad Poor Dad content and you are right on the fact that he is repeating himself a lot. I kinda get the program but as you say, you need money to make money. He said you can make money off dept, off credit, off other people's money. He's not the only one to say it. It's hard enough to qualify for anything these days through your bank and depending on your credit limit and your monthly income, what you want to achieve might not reflect what you can achieve. The neighbourhood I live in is full of people who own more than one property (their house) and with their regular job or business, they are banking in money pretty well. I'm guessing it depends on what kind of real estate you are in. Flipping is a win or lose game, not interested. Buying to rent out seemed the best choice but you say different. I'd like to hear why it didn't work well for you if you don't mind sharing.

I'm happy you got the opportunity to learn about this stuff at an early age. When Bitcoin came out, it seemed like a fiction story, the next catch, scam, banks and analysts were downplaying it like it was the plague or a joke. Had I known better or at least understood how money works, I'd be counting my millions too by now. I just looked around on the subject of TFSA and apparently my bank has a program. Did I ever hear about it from them? Nada! I've been a client with them for 30+ years. So much for looking out for the client. I'll read more into it once I have something to contribute financially. As for the couchpotato link, it seems to be a hack or something.

Don't know them but I'll keep it in mind. Being in Canada I have to figure out which brokers can access the Toronto Exchange and the other side (Wallstreet, NASDAQ, etc) and international currencies. I was playing in crypto, very small change, and it's not going too far. I put 300$CAD so far and it has fallen down to 1/3 of that the past 6 months. I was going to take it all out but I guess I'm still hoping for a good kickback. I'm now eyeing ETFs, just trying to understand how it works and also waiting to have a reasonable amount to invest before I jump in, at least a 1000$. Been also reading up on some Rich Dad Poor Dad stuff. Trying to learn about assets and cash flow, using dept to my advantage and other money education. Apparently real estate is the way to go but at the moment I can't even qualify for a house of my own so...more work to be done.

So a while back I started a thread on cryptocurrency that caught fire, for a minute, then was blown out in a flash. A lot of people are still not in or confident or simply believe it to be a hoax. IRAgardless ( @SaveByRichter35 ), there are many other ways to create some form of cash flow. Here is where you can chime in on your experiences. Share some tips if you're keen to. Got any questions, ask away. Suggest online sources or e-courses or good books on the subject...be it free or not. School has never been the place to learn about finances, budgets and investments unless in college or university, and even then, it seems like programs are simply meant to produce employees, not entrepreneurs or employers. At home, money was less talked about, hard to get by, a vile and manipulative device against "the people". Save your money! Work hard! Another day, another dollar! (that last one kills me, feels depressive). I'm 53 and have always worked to make someone else rich(er). My sideline goalie coaching is certainly not worthy of FORTUNE 500 mention. I would like to know that when I do call it quits (work) or am forced to, that I won't be living off the bottom of the barrel. I don't want to work till my last breath just to pay the rent and eat. Some of you are probably holding very well paying jobs and I commend you for that. You hustled hard enough to make it there, and if you don't live above your means, play smart, you are looking at a comfortable and worry free retirement. Kudos on you . At this very moment, in writing this thread, I am nowhere near where I need or ought to be to live a nice retirement and this is why I've been looking into small time investments to hopefully make it grow fast enough so I too may relish in my dreams and passions and possibly accomplish the greater part of my personal bucket list. So please feel free to participate. Respect the difference of opinions and don't forget to quote and/or use the @username symbol to keep within the proper conversations. Thanks

Ok, we seriously need to have an intervention here.

Ok, who let the friggin pro walk in here?!

Yes I am or I wouldn't be able to pay the bill to be able to write this at the moment loll. Good news, had my MRI and there are no visible tears of any kind. No surgery needed. It's a very high stress/impact injury that is just taking longer for me to heal. I'm aiming for a January start at the very latest unless I get an early green light

Great interview! She has her game together and I loved the depth of her meanings and explanation of her mask's tributes.

The waiting game is a killer. I'm not in any bad pain. I can walk, slowly. Forced by my physio to use a cane to reduce ankle weight load. I get the occasional discomfort and my ankle clicks and cracks a lot. The biggest issues are the lack of dorsiflexion range and load instability. All the ASO wrap does is make my frigging lower leg swell up from the restricted blood circulation.

So I injured my ankle pretty badly at work in June. The verdict so far points towards a high ankle sprain. Had an MRI today and should know for sure where it stands in a couple days. I'm hoping not to hear the word "surgery" mentioned. I was recommended to wear an ASO type stabiliser to help contain my Tibia and Fibula. It's like a lace-up/velcro straps wrap for the ankle. If any of you have gone through a same/similar situation, have you worn something in your skate when back in the game? If so, what? Or have you completely refrained from playing until 100% healed?

I'm thinking of adding some extra to my white/red Warrior set to match my mask and pants. Anyone have some available?

"nobody wants to play with me" "Oh snap!! Hey, wait, I wasn't ready!!"

My God , who have you been beating up with that thing?!?

I'm with Jake. Even though I'm in Canada, online deals tend to be better than in shop. I'm a 9 in 170X skates. Eyeing the Trues (TF9 or TF7, I hear some people go up half a size? You often read people's comments "well I'm a 10 shoe so I wear 8 1/2 skates". It doesn't always work like that and the translation doesn't work for all brands the same. I wear 11 shoes but my skates are 9s, a big gap but the fit is perfect, no toe bumping or scraping inside the shell.

I haven't played since June, since the work injury. I was aiming for a Fall comeback but not so sure at this point. Going for an MRI this afternoon. It's SUPER hard to not play or be active (running, cycling, etc) when you hit my age, especially since I'm so competitive with myself and I might have 5-7 years left in nets before I move my focus elsewhere in sports. I'm hitting the gym for the moment for maintenance. As long as I don't become an inverted pyramid
