Learning to stop has been a real challenge

That’s what the boards are there for!

Thanks for the info. I currently have a set of low end bauers and have often wondered if a nicer set of skates would help things. Learning to stop has been a real challenge. I end up skating in circles a lot lol

If your skates fit well and have some life in them, just buy new profiled step steel blades for them. Binnie will set you up.

I’m not sure I can replace the blades on these ones

The boards are where I need to be very careful around when battling for the puck. I play to have no injuries.

I think all brands of skates have replaceable blades. There are several different types of blade holders.

From what I’ve found, most manufacturers low end skates don’t have replaceable blades. Getting a set that is moldable was another reason I was thinking of upgrading. I think I’m only $80 into my current set so I wouldn’t be out much

As a Canadian I was born with skates on but I haven't played competitively in probably 10 years. I do still play in my Rugby league though.

You should look into Hockeyfinder.com. It’s a company my buddy started in Minnesota. Leagues for all levels and none of the riff raff of th other leagues… bc as I say “easy guys we all gotta go to work tmrw”

I played pond hockey as a kid, started back up with hockey finder in mid 30s with my little brother. Play twice a week. It’s awesome

I spent HS- my late 20s playing rugby! Great sport. Still my preferred sport to watch.

Got on a 65+ team, playing in a month. In Santa Rosa, California.

The California A zone deer archery runs July 8 - 30 this year. Going for a hunt after a week of playing hockey.

The local rink here opened back up 2 weeks ago today, already played 5 times. Nothing keeps me in shape like playing ice hockey.
