As for review, I feel I might have been a little bit out of depth in the intermediate course as I just started skating last Jan. Going into the course, I was good with both my hockey stops, relatively confident on my crossovers, but overall iffy on tight turns and anything to do with backwards. Most of the other people there could do everything and was there to just further hone/master their skills while I was, to some degree, still learning to do some of those things. Overall though, I still learned a lot and was much more confident in my skating but just wanted to check out the beginner course to see if maybe it was a slower paced class where I could spend more time working on the techniques rather than just running through and learning through brute force. |
yeah i couldnt find anything online anymore for the britannia classes. i want to take the beginners |
for beginners https://pbregister.vancouver.ca/adet...vity_id=400268 for int/adv https://pbregister.vancouver.ca/adet...vity_id=400269 guessing they just changed the names a bit, cuz i play with dennis and james and they keep asking me to go back |

:woot2: Really though, I prefer composite sticks these days. They're light, and my Bauer has a cool flat faced paddle design that helps in paddle down block situations. http://www.puregoalie.com/prodimages...-DEFAULT-L.jpg Problem is, they're susceptible to damage from a hard enough shot. I had to go back to my wood stick that night, and that's when I was sold on composite. Quote:
Maybe today. |
^the girl(s) that work at the front desk are... very.. nice :) |
picked up a new lid. Bauer re-akt with re-akt cage. best fitting helmet ive ever used. and feels as light or lighter than my old set-up which was easton s19 with bauer 9900 cage. also picked up a one9. blade feels really nice, but wish it was a grip shaft cause the non-grip is so slippery |

Or you can just do the hockey tape thing without sanding.. I personally, just don't like the feeling of the clears finishes |

On a hockey note, cut the stick an inch shorter... My sticks were actually longer than I thought (just under my chin with skates on), so I chopped it. |
good call, Blue. It's a bit easier to leave some length on a stick. If it's too long, you can always cut it down. But too many people run a stick that's too long, even defensemen. Sure it allows longer reach, and a bit more length for a poke, but it negatively affects everything from carrying to the puck to shooting. You're better off going a little short, than a little long, at least from a performance standpoint. |

Fml. After recovering from breaking my tibia and fibula exactly 1 year ago, and getting a little comfortable on the ice again, I get slashed and fracture my pinky. Out 6 weeks... I just lol'd at the doctor when he told me about my broken finger Posted via RS Mobile |

Last season I crashed my ATV and tore up the muscles in my pinky. I also dislocated it, which was the least of my worries. Of course it happened at the end of the season when the most important games were being played. I missed a week of hockey, then taped it up in my blocker to finish the season. Smashed it a couple of times and it hurt, but it's what we do for the sport. The off season is enough time to heal. :D Quote:
Also take what I said above tongue in cheek. Stupid people go out with existing injuries. Those are the same lug headed mofos who wake up every morning with pain. Good luck with your recovery. |
