Great OP by the way, the old thread was getting a bit long, so I'm all for a new one. I started playing hockey last year and it is as you described. Incredibly fun. I started out by going to public skate as much as 3 times a week, just working on my skating. I've played two seasons on beer league, and feel myself improving everyday. My skating is okay, better than most people playing as long as I have, except that I can't shoot/pass for poo poo. If anyone is from Orange County and wants to play at the Rinks or needs help getting into hockey and whatnot, PM me. Bonus picture of my trying to look cool:

MiamiKid posted:I'll be interested to see how your footage turns out. I got a GoProHD a few weeks ago for some other work, but have stuck it on my hockey helmet a couple times. The camera under exposes because of the ice, but I think the Contour has Exposure Compensation, which is nice. Anyway, here's my clips, occasional cussing so not totally work safe. As far as positioning goes, I could see this being very, very helpful. Great videos!

Acethomas posted:I'm willing to drive out to either Rinks location for a chance to stick and puck or scrim with a goon, I'll pm you when I get home. Yea feel free, it would be cool to play with a goon. There are a lot of pick up and stick time options and I usually try play at both Rinks in a given week. I also have secrets to share with you if you decide to PM me. wink wink.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:I'm half-expecting this dreaded email.... in 4 more days when they're sold out everywhere. I may end up getting the x60s if this is the case. I hope you get them, I also just ordered the same skates, but slightly used for 280.

I have come to ask a crucial question!!! Vapor X40's for $220, which are brand new, or a pair of lightly used, X50's for $280? According to the seller, the X50's are "Rarely Used; used less than five times on-ice; only sharpened once", and is in "Excellent Condition. Minor surface scratches and scuffs". I play casually, maybe once or twice a week, but I definitely do need new skates. What's the best choice here?

The Ducks had their used gear sale about a week ago. I picked up some pro stock Reebok gloves for $60. There were also a lot of sticks for 50 dollars, brand new. Most of them were left handed though, so I couldn't get one. My buddy who does shoot left did get 2 S19's for 100 dollars. Also, new socks were 1 dollar.

Forgot to post this. Happened this year to my team mate. He was diving to block a puck, but one of the guys on the other team tried to jump over him, with his skate landing at the spot where the elbow pad ends, before the glove starts. Not pretty.

trilljester posted:That's who we played last night. They have a couple of cockgobblers on their team who think it's OK to whack our goalie on his neck after the whistle blows. They also forgot they were playing hockey and decided that they were in a diving competition. I've never seen so many flagrant diving acts and we were getting the penalties! Haha goalie roughing. Sounds like a lovely call. If Timmy Thomas can shove a Sedin and not get a call, your guy shouldn't either.

Awesome Animals posted:I don't know what's right anymore. lol. I'm sorry for being an idiot. It is OC. I got confused because the reason of the move is because of my gf's grad school, and she applied to a school in Sacramento and one in Orange County. I'm mixing everything up. I skate mostly at Anaheim Ice and Westminster Ice. PM me and we can play a super fun Thursday morning skate at AI.
