Zip! posted:Hello sorry, I've been away traveling so not sure if you've been able to find a team since this post if so great! Sweet, bookmarked this for when I can play for a team, going to try and pick up the rest of my pads this month (i'm currently just playing in the basics + Shinpads + cup) and then i'll see if I can get involved. I'm picking it up again quicker than I thought so i'll probably be contacting a few people in the next few months, see where I end up. Thanks! For the people who gave me advice regarding my leg, I skipped Tuesdays session and it felt a bit better on Thursday so I went, really glad I did. Said i'd just take it slow and practice stick handling. I ended up going all out in the scrimmage, won the puck off players vastly better than me and found myself in position to shoot a few times. Sure, my leg has deteriorated a little bit but its not as bad as it was on Tuesday, which I assume is due to the icing.

I just can't figure out why the diagram is anything other than the black line, because the play never gets further than that. The rest of it is warp speed.. only exists in science fiction.

I'm totally going to print that thing out and give it to everyone in my locker room and we're going to have a discussion about it and I'm going to act super serious and get mad when they don't understand it.

"it's hockey, ya dummies" isn't a good teaching technique i guess.

I like the lazy S because that from the looks of it that means you'll always have your body in front of the defender, so it'll make checking of any kind harder right? I'm going to give that a try next week and see how it goes. E: Meant to quote the diagram.

We had someone bring a dry erase board and markers to our first game. I grabbed it and sketched out two defensemen ( represented by circles) and then finished the drawing of a giant dick and balls. The board never came back after that.

My team right now doesn't even split up into wingers and centers, it's literally just "forwards." I've tried to suggest a couple times that it'd be good to know what position we're playing but no one seems to care, you just kind of float into the open areas like drop-in.

That's not a problem if you're actually playing offense. It's probably a good idea to know who's the center when playing defense though. Though I did have a guy bitch at me a month or so ago for being a right wing and on the left side of the ice.. in the offensive zone. gently caress you buddy, that's not how offense works.

If you're not playing wing on defense standing where the blue line meets the wall, I do not know what the gently caress you are doing with your life.

So...what do you do if your skates hurt after ~5 minutes or so after skating? I lace up my skates, everything feels good, my ankle is firmly in place. Then after skating for a few minutes I get this dull, throbbing pain in my feet. At first I thought I just hadn't broken them in enough but it's been 3 months playing hockey 1-2 times a week. It doesn't really make a difference in games, since taking the weight off when I sit at the bench eases things, punched the skates out a bit but that didn't really do anything.

You loosen them the hell up. If they're sized correctly you loosen them everywhere but the top 2 eyelets. Then try bunga pads I guess but if they fit correctly they're too tight.

Sounds like you bought the wrong skates bud. What make/style are they? If they're, say, Bauer Vapors, those are thin and you should check out Supremes or Nexus: Graf has something like 8 footshapes, I found a Graf that worked well for me. If you can't get your heel to lock in without that amount of tightening then you need to go shopping. If you can loosen them up a bit and still have your heel locked in, you've just been going overboard with the laces.

I would say that is a more advanced way of doing it. Its easy to just divide up each zone into 5 parts and say ok this part is yours, this is yours, and so on. Just playing as forwards rather than LW, RW, C, you'll basically just fill the open space your teammates aren't in. First man back on D picks up the most dangerous open man, next guy picks up the next open man, last guy picks up the last open man. Breaking out, if you play a weave all three forwards will be changing sides of the ice, same if you're regrouping around your defense in the neutral zone. If you play a 3 man forecheck then all 3 of you will be rotating around the offensive zone and the same if you're trying to hold possession and playing a cycle. All three of you will be moving around a lot more and using the whole sheet of ice. I don't know if any of that makes sense. I think I need a whiteboard...

We have guys who played rep all their lives, guys who are playing their first season ever, and everything in between.

Instead of every eyelet being over under, I switch between under over and over under till I get to the top two eyelets. Those stay over under. Works great for me.

Well my first game is supposed to be tonight but my jersey that I need to play in Stinky Socks is currently sitting in a USPS facility 18 minutes away but not showing any sign of being out for delivery. Does usps really not deliver on Sundays? It took them long enough to actually put my jersey in the mail after I ordered it so me getting it a day after I need it would really suck.

EvilTwig posted:^ just bring a white and a dark, you will be fine. Sometimes you will get an email telling you specifically what team you will be on close to game time. The Stinky Socks rules say that an official jersey is required to play. I might just go out and buy a white jersey since I know that's what color my team is tonight and see if they'll let it slide since its the first game but I don't know how strict they are on the dress code.

Is it just a drop in? I've played Stinky Socks before and just brought a white and a black. If you play a league then I believe you are required to have one but even if you are I can't imagine they'd send you packing because you have a white or black instead of their official jersey for just one night. I'm sure there are guys that have forgotten their jersey before and been given a free pass. Also if it is a drop in you might want to wear both jerseys or at least bring them both to the bench with you because I know I got traded from one team to the other like a minute into warm ups.

Bring a dark and a light. Not yellow, grey or red, don't be one of those assholes.  If they give you poo poo, tell them what's up. I played a whole full-time season without a jersey with no issues.Where are you playing? I'll be at the 930 @ Andover tonight.

I got an email back from the league and they said wearing a regular jersey is fine, especially since I ordered one but it just hasnt arrived yet so thats rad. Wonder_Bread posted:Bring a dark and a light. Not yellow, grey or red, don't be one of those assholes. Welp, guess it's time for an impromptu goon meet. I'll be there too, just look for the guy in the non-official jersey who sucks at hockey. I'm on Team 2, which I thought was the light team but the email said to bring a dark jersey so I'll just bring both and see whats up when I get there.

I just played a tournament where half the teams got kicked out for having 'ringers'. Pretty much anyone who even played in high school was too drunk on the ice to even look like they had played hockey in their life before. Beer league drama is the best.

Just finished goaltending two back to back skates. First skate was D league which fit my skill level pretty well. Second skate was with B leaguers who had a goalie flake out. Felt great playing against better skilled guys. Got scored on of course, but I made some surprising stops and got some cheers from the bench. Might be getting the hang of this goalie thing.

Had my first D-league game tonight, it was wicked fun. Better than the drop ins I've been going to during the day where the other team is always stacked against us, but that's probably because my team ended up winning 7-0. I didn't score any goals but I had a couple shots and some good opportunities where I just missed the net. Definitely excited for next week, just have to work on some things at the day time drop ins.
