How is it for everyone else here? Less players on the ice since vaccine passport mandates? Or no real difference?

I play with 5 different groups.  We have not lost a single player out of those over 100 players.  Every single one is Double Vaccinated.

No masks on the ice right?

Correct, nor in the showers

Everyone ends up taking their masks off in the dressings rooms here on the mainland.

 

same over here, except at this Arena.  We are on the base itself, and the Arena is run by the DND, they spot check into the dressing rooms, and if you aren't abiding by their rules, you lose the ice time for the year, NO refund!!!

Back on the ice last night at the arena on the Naval Base here in Victoria, BC.  All arenas (and any indoor venue for that matter) will require a proof of vaccination, which I have downloaded onto my phone.  Masks also required inside, including in dressing rooms.  Felt great to be back playing, on the ice again Friday morning!

The last 2 photos were taken in the early spring.  Summer time I tend to hand water the lawn with a hose, as that is allowed under Summer Water Restrictions.  It really allows me to target the areas that need it, and also limits the amount of wasted runoff water.  Plus a nice way to unwind and have a couple beers, usually chatting with the neighbours while doing it.  In Victoria BC for regional reference.

Does anyone own an official NHL jersey in a non-goalie cut that they wear comfortable while playing?  I suppose size 60 would fit, technically, but be way too long, I imagine.

Yes length can be too long, but what is the hardest part with Non-goalie cut, is how tight the arms can be

VAERS is no different. https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html - anyone can submit a report saying almost anything to this database; they are not verified to be accurate in any way. Any information coming from that database (and other like it) should be taken with a hefty dose of salt.

It is well known that the minions/sheep of Mercola, Tenpenny et: al post completely fabricated events to this Database.

The line "even vaccinated people catch Covid, so what's the point of vaccination" drives me nuts.
I will use that same logic in another way
I can still feel a shot that hits me in the nuts, so what's the point in wearing a jock?

Family photo.  Don't think I have shared this on this thread.

To be fair, Ullmark probably wanted to get out of there to get into a better situation for himself.

I can't be the only one who feels more comfortable in a tighter jersey right?

 

Coop and his friends

Price shuffles all the time.  I think you meant to say Rask instead of Price.  Rask NEVER shuffles.

40 degrees here in the Slurs on Sunday.

Fraser Valley is going to hit 44.

Scurvy is gross at 20 degrees, I can only imagine 40

We are back here in California, too.  Fortunately showers are back open and we are playing at what's basically a brand new rink that the Ducks practice at.

Unfortunately, the facility was designed with with the ice sheets spread out lengthwise instead of as a square.  Parking is next to the entrance near sheets 1 and 2, so if I play on 3 or 4 I'm walking a pretty nice distance and I'll be sweaty again by the time I'm back in my car...lol

Here's a link for you guys to explore on Google maps if you wanna take a look, if you're on browser you can click the little person in the bottom right to get these little blue dots on the map to pop up.  When you click the little blue dots, you can see some pics of the facility from the inside

I zoomed out on the GoogleEarth view, and the Rush song "Subdivisions" immediately popped into my head.

Nothing beats jumping into your sweltering vehicle when you're still sweating from hockey.

mmmmmm

after getting out of my gear, I stood in the rink in shorts and t shirt for a good 5 minutes to cool down.  Then yeah, went to a stupidly warm vehicle.

Victoria BC
Played Saturday evening.  Same rink rules as before the November shut-down.  Arrive 20 minutes before and no showers after it.  I was pleasantly not completely gassed, and not sore the next day.

I just had an ad take up the entire screen. There was no X to close it. So I kicked the monitor over.

I've been having that as well.
My monitors are still standing though

What's going on with the user avatar area?  Taglines are gone, points are gone, and there is now these weird silver hands.

Holy crap, that Silver Hand, when I hover over it, it says you are a "Newbie"  I guess over 2300 posts is considered new???

Dom @ Pro's Choice might be the last name standing in terms of truly custom masks.

My ideal pizza is pepperoni,  mushrooms,  and black olives and I must have ranch for dipping.

Olives... you mean little Lego tires.
and dipping???  I never understood dips for pizza, it's perfect as is.

Have you ever broken in a C/A by hanging near your hot shower and getting it warm and wet? 

35 years ago, I wore my new Brown IN the shower to break it in.

Fist dibs on uniform number and locker...

Not a chance Matt... The most wily veteran signed/picked up by the team will get that, and then down the line of veteran players.
