My little dude had his first outdoor meet of the season Saturday and won ribbons in every event he was in. Outdoor swim meets are a zoo. Swimmers and parents all cheering like crazy for every swimmer until they all finish. It's great to see.

Practices are nuts. Now that I gave it a go myself, I get why he comes home after swim practice and takes a nap some days.

I do the Announcing at Meets, and play by play of the Livestream Broadcast of Provincial Championships.  Trying to get all 8 names of swimmers and the club they are with in before the end of the 50m Freestyle with the older kids (27 seconds) can be a challenge.

Yeah, those outdoor meets can be crazy, Marshalling for the younger kids is like herding cats!!

My daughter was a competitive swimmer.  Her strokes were Freestyle, Breaststroke, and Backstroke.  Gold Medal provincially in 50Free and 100 Breast.
I used to marvel at the intensity of their practices.  No effing way I could do that.

Looks like his blackhawks mask but I wonder if he painted over the feathers and then put the wild logo on. Hopefully the beautiful mask is intact under it.

 

the flowers were on the mask he had a tribal artist do

Can't find them now, but other zoomed photos I have seen, it looks like just strips of black electrical tape over the feathers, and a Wild decal thrown on.

small rectangle of tape covers it up nicely

Congrats on it all youngster!  Sigh, I remember expecting... my daughter is 22 now LOL

Showing MY age!

Back in the GSBB days, Battram’s name was a swear word!

I thought it was Simmons that was the swear word

I like Asteroids, Space Invaders, Missile Command, and Donkey Kong.

Yup, Jim sent me all 3 sizes.  Best sweatband out there.

Anyone recall a Rangers goalie with red mitts, red pads, and a red bucket?  A pic would be awesome.

So the number one selling point of getting True gear is no longer 100% accurate. Great. 

Exactly, if QC is lacking in something so simple, where else is it lacking?

Haha, well I didn't see yours ain't bigger

We have 9 Divisions with subdivisions plus the 40+ league.  We play in 5 rinks, and the Kraken rink has 3 sheets. 

There are 3 other rinks in the metro area that we do not play in + 2 WHL arenas and 1 NHL arena and then 2 other rinks further out.

So we have a lot, just not Canadian big city levels.

I have heard that the Seattle area has the most adult rec hockey players per capita than any other city in the U.S.

You guys can now call me Papa Coops.

Hey!  Congrats Coop!  Welcome to the world of fatherhood!

But nobody is going to YouTube for live tv.

As Coop said, this statement is wrong.

I do play by play of Livestream on Youtube of Swimming Competitions.  Live, we are viewed in 25 countries and by tens of thousands of viewers.  Overall, we are viewed in over 70 countries and over 100,000 viewers.  

Sucks big time

Anyone get anything goalie-related for Christmas?

My parents (yep, I am 50 years old) got me a Sher-Wood SL900 stick.  My favourite stick right now too!

Happy Santa Day

We all chose to be goalies, w

Being goalie chose me.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I am a big fan of the Sher-Wood SL900 Foam Core.  Available at Canadian Tire for $99.  Went in to buy one a couple weeks ago, they were on sale for $59, so I bought 3!

I have a pair of Bauer Supreme 7000's that are still in great shape.  I have another pair of 7000's new in box for when these ones are done.  Think I am going to buy a pair of the Original Vaughn Goal Skates, the GX1 to have on backup as well.  They are available through EvilBay from a few shops that still have a ton of New Old Stock.
