Oh, it was in the other thread. I thought you meant how strong of a skater as in if I'm a power skater. lol

I'm alright at skating. I won't fall as long as no one bumps me or if I'm not trying to do something I know I'm not capable of, like power stopping or doing figure skating aerial twists. I will get the knee/shin pads eventually, but I didn't do enough research yet to buy them. I did take a quick look today though. Is the calf wrap around really neccessary at my level?

I was in a bit of a rush just to get enough stuff to be able to participate for stick and puck. I was told to get there as early as possible to get a spot at RIC. is it gonna be really packed? Because I heard it was way better than 8 rinks. I don't have any protective gear as of now beside gloves and a helmet with a full face visor (it appearly goes below my chin). Will I stand out as the only guy without the full hockey gear at stick and puck?


I just tried on my skates again because I'm trying to break into them now. I got blade guards so I can walk around the house with them. It's been about an hour now and my right foot feels like it's low on blood circulation or something. My left foot is still perfectly fine. So is this normal ?? Nothing is pinching or hurting or anything. Just my right foot starting to feel a bit numb on the sides as if I'm not getting enough blood flow... When I stand up though, it feels slightly better.
