Weird pricing model but that's super cool, I wonder how I can get them to install it at my rink. It seems like it might be difficult in the kinds of rinks that don't have stands.

Our 1½-year (going in to 2nd winter league like me) goalie just bailed on us to jump from Div 7 to Div  .  our winter season before it even began.edit: correction on the divs above. Mostly I'm just a little annoyed he's trying to dump the old guy on us after we had already talked about moving the old defenseman (which he's responsible for bringing to the team) around for him AND subbing in half of a season with our biggest competitor.

When he came to I told him i'd never seen him save so many goals and that he should patent the technique. I don't think he's very happy with me

Loqieu posted:Yah, I think it must be geared towards youth coaches and crazy parents. Although considering adult league players regularly don't bat an eye at blowing $100 on different color gloves, I'm sure they'll get a lot of subscribers. Just think of all the beer leaguers who post their stats on Facebook after every game. Now they'll be able to also share the video of their sweet end-to-end dangles! Yeah honestly I probably would buy it if I could watch every game in my poo poo-tier league. Gotta get that intel. Took my my new skates with new profile and new hollow out for the second time yesterday, I'm really liking them. I feel like the new profile forces me into a lower stance, and my weak side stop feels WAY better. It takes a bit more effort to stop on a dime with the shallower hollow but especially on the lovely summer ice I'm catching way fewer edges. For as long as I've been playing I can expect to catch an edge and wipe at least once per game, hopefully those days are behind me now. Being in skates that are actually closer to the right size is nice too.

So my wife and I went to the grand opening of Warrior Ice Arena (the Bruins' new practice facility in Boston) this weekend. It was pretty cool overall, we got into the first skate of the day, saw some Bruins players (Kevan Miller, Noel Acciari, and Riley Nash, no big stars) playing ping pong and cornhole. Took a lot of pictures, but other than skate there wasn't really anything to do, so we walked to a hipster brunch place, had some beers, and walked back. When we got back to our car there was something under the windshield wiper, and we assumed it was another promo flyer (they're doing public skating, stick time, and leagues eventually). But, when I opened it, there were two preseason tickets to a game vs. the Red Wings and a card thanking us for visiting, signed by David Krejci. None of the other cars had them, so we were honestly confused if they were real. We posted pictures on Instagram, and the Bruins' official account messaged us congrats. Apparently they were just handed out randomly (mostly to little kids, it looked like from their Twitter). I guess this isn't really "hockey player" related, exactly, but there ya go. v  v

I think that's where I'll be doing the draft tournament in March. First game of the new season last night. Felt good to play non pick up hockey. Did injure myself with my own stick. Took a wrister and on the follow through caught the blade on their D. The way it caught I speared myself with the blunt end and he got the blade end. Definitely felt it flex on my rib.

Watched a buddy's C league game last night and apparently one of his teammates got benched for a "bad penalty kill". That and he apparently caused a too many men penalty. It's loving rec league and people are getting benched?

Well, to make it more related: The website says they'll have "adult and corporate leagues" coming soon. What are corporate leagues? xzzy posted:Condolences for having to watch the red wings though. And in preseason, too.

Now people on my D League team are complaining that the jerseys that we ordered are "too expensive" at $25 a piece and with 75% of that cost being absorbed by the guy sponsoring our team. I just want to stop loving pucks and not deal with children, is that too much to ask?

Tangentially, I've trying to figure out the best cost price for the HockeyTron NYI jerseys to get applique'd/embroidered. TallyHockey did a full set of 15 for about $1100k. A follow up batch of 6 was about $460. Sadly the jersey selection is limited. The NYI Tron jerseys were 12 bux steal a pop for a total of about $250 (but only came in M/L/XXL). So far the logo alone costs between $700 and $1900 for the set, and the name/numbers tacking on an additional $300 to $500. Even vinyl/screen printing is pretty high, between $600 and $800 for logo/name/number. Maybe it's location but I'm in the heart of Texas surrounded by high school football, you'd think jersey shops would more competitive. Basically, poo poo's expensive.

Best price I've gotten around here for applique/embroidery is $1900 for everything.

I think we paid 1500 for 20 jerseys. Name and numbers as well. Came out to be about 70 per person but it feels like a quality jersey.

A friend of mine from my hockey clinic and I are going to be in Toronto this month and we were wondering what the best place for a public skate is. We'll probably be looking to skate on a weekend. We're plenty used to bad ice and mob scenes full of screaming children being from NYC, and any help would be much appreciated!

Who has that many skaters that this is an option? xzzy posted:I got kicked off a bottom tier team like two years ago for not being good enough, people loving want to win dammit. Yea our team picked up a guy who got kicked off last year's beginner team for not being good enough. They lied about having too many people since they picked up a ringer or two in off-season. They're basically paying the guy off by buying him our team's jerseys, because I think in HNA you're not allowed to kick people off for not being good enough. Vargatron posted:Now people on my D League team are complaining that the jerseys that we ordered are "too expensive" at $25 a piece and with 75% of that cost being absorbed by the guy sponsoring our team. Only $25 bucks for a jersey? That's an amazing price. For the record, and ties into the point about the player above, our jerseys were really loving expensive because we went all out on that bullshit and I think our one jersey was like $70 all said and done.

New team hasn't even played our first game (we had an hour of ice last night to get to know each other though, which was pretty cool) and a few guys already talking about the extravagant jerseys they want to buy. I get that's part of the fun to make an identity and put it out there, but our player fee already cover buying a jersey, the rink is giving them to us with numbers on them, and there's no guarantee that this group will stick together past one session yet. They might, but who knows what's going to happen in 6 months? I've been skating for five years now and have more jerseys than I know what to do with, I don't want even more clutter in my closet. It's also my firm stance that the cheapest jerseys are the best because they're paper thin and it feels good when the breeze cuts through them.

I'm guessing that guy left/got fired and their bar is terrible ao they stopped. I've also seen on YouTube other teams record games and post them there. Lumberjacks I think posted them regularly.
