Any Hockey Players?

Right on. I play ice too.. But I have to drive 40 miles one way to get there. lol.. Sooooo worth it!

 

Yeah it is, they only let us play in one league per season and there is another arena about an hour north of here so I'm thinking about joining a league at both next season as long as the schedules don't conflict.

 

hey guys, quick question, is there any other methods to stretch a skate just a lil width wise besides getting it pressure stretched by a sports store? i need just a hair more width in my skate.

 

What brand and model of skate Brandan?.......Thermo-moldable?

 

hey marc!
nike/bauer vapors XIX and they were thermo'd the day i got em. used them a lot but just have a bit of tightness at the first eyelet of my right skate.

 

Got it buddy,same skates as me.I'm running a 7.5 EE....Sorry I don't have any other solutions,but my understanding is that they can be thermo'd up to three times.

 

hmm ok i was told by the kid that did mine i could only get them done once! gonna go back and get them redone then! thanks!

 

That was my understanding,but you may want to call around to some of the shops to confirm....Hope it works out.

 

i'll make a few calls! i just dont want to get them stretched too much. thanks for the help marc!

gotta get all my gear ready, just joined a summer league

 

From what I hear its not good to get them baked right when you get them, so if that was the case with yours you may want to consider getting them rebaked once you've logged a few hours of ice time.

 

lol i was told that the best time to bake them was right out of the box! i will try out the baking again.

 

Lol, who knows...I'm from Florida and I dont' think we are supposed to know anything about these "skates" you speak of...whoda thought there would be hockey in a state that doesn't see temps below 60 degrees.

 

Just got my first Tacoma a couple of weeks ago but I've been lurking around this forum for a few months.

It looks like somebody got my number 19 already so I'll take 22. Still looks like you're looking for a first line centre unless I missed someone else claiming the centre ice position.

I've played most of my life but like one of the previous posts, I'm coming up on 37 in a month and haven't played at all during the past four years. Just found a nice shinny game lately though and glad to be back. Walking the day after wasn't bad but breathing without coughing up a lung was a challenge, especially on those days when it dipped down below -25 C.

And just to answer the question about skates, I'm riding on Grafs (625s I think?)

Wouldn't it be sweet to see a whole team show up to the rink all driving Tacomas?

 

Welcome Pootz,glad to have ya!.......Couple of my buddies are riding on Grafs and swear by them.

 

Still playing 3 days a week at age 59+

Your's truly - front and center.

Lol, need players? Fly me up, I'll gladly play more...but only if I'm #6 at LW.
