A guy I've been staking with a for a couple years and got a hand-me-down set of pads recently took his first puck in the mask yesterday. Dropped him pretty good.. puck bonked him just over the ear and he was face down on the ice, I assume, waiting for his ears to stop ringing and the stars to fade away. Once he collected himself he decided that was enough for the day and left the ice. Next time I see him on skates, am curious whether it'll be in goalie pads or not.

You really need to invest in a $400 mask even just starting out. The risk of concussion is too great otherwise.

Quick question: I'm working on getting into shape after not having played since about 1999, been doing weights for a while but want to switch over to a dry land hockey workout that'll get my cardio/endurance up to speed. I've got a stationary bike at home with a full set of Olympic weights. Any suggestions? I've glanced at a few books here and there, and the internet has a bunch of random stuff that I've seen, but nothing that's sort of comprehensive.

Intervals. Hockey is an anaerobic sport. Push 250 watts for 60 seconds, then do a 2 minute recovery at 100 watts. Repeat 10 times.

Buy some gear. Fall down. Have zero goals in 22 games. Drink beer after. I'm ready for summer league.

Falling and not scoring: I'm good at both. I'm doing the StrongLifts program and getting good gains out of it, but where would I fit in plyometrics and cycling without killing my squat days (every day) ? If there's a more flexible lifting program that works with the other stuff, I'd be all for trying it out.

My workout routine for prepping for hockey was just buying gear and going to a drop in and sucking at hockey. Then I kept going to drop ins and tried to suck less every time. Seems to be working well for me so far.

If you want to be good, you need 87g of carbs exactly 67 minutes prior to puck drop.

Also you need to show up an hour and a half before puck drop so you have time to get a proper warmup in. Dudes from the previous skate will probably still be in the locker room getting dressed for their game, but if you tell them what's up they'll be cool with it.

You'll be fine, just go skate. It's pointless to take on a regimented training scheme to play hockey and not actually play hockey. If your body says it wants a break, that's what the bench is for.

I also have no skates and we just had major flooding in town yesterday, so my plans to get skates this week got foiled by needing new flooring  I guess I could rent skates, though, and get a new helmet.

I mean, what you just mentioned there is like a normal Sunday night game for me. It owns.  Joke'ey jokes aside, if you don't mind me asking: how old are you anyways? Like, I mean, for sure work out and be healthy and poo poo I'm not going to disparage you for that. But like, don't skip hockey just for the sake of working out and getting shredded beforehand or whatever. A not-insignificant amount of dudes in my division (and higher) are beer belly as hell and can still skate and score. Edit: wait, you said you used to play. Eh, do whatever floats your boat you know what's up.  Still curious how "old as hell" you are.

A guy I play with started playing hockey at 63 when he retired. He's 68 now and doesn't plan on quitting anytime soon.

My main team is like 28-35. Most of us are the same ageish. The other team I play on has a lot of old guys that arent good at hockey. In other news since I stopped caring and bringing back the Rover position on that team I've been on a pretty good streak.

I got an e-mail a couple days ago saying that one of our C League players collapsed in the rink and is now in the hospital in an induced coma Luckily, they were able to do CPR and hit him with a defibrillator at the rink, but it loving sucks. I'm pretty sure I've played with the guy in pickup at some juncture and it just sucks to hear about that kind of thing happening.

Maaaaaaaaaybe one of them is in their 60's I can't really tell because I'm poo poo at that sort of thing.
