Monday Clinic

by | Feb 28, 2012 | clinic, equipment

I made it all the way through tonight’s clinic, missing no reps; but it was a light crowd, so the coach went pretty easy on us – no end-to-end after the skating drill.  I’m still happy I made it through the whole thing and I learned why we wear our facemask. So...

Back on the Ice – Finally (and with Flat-Bottom V)

by | Mar 20, 2011 | equipment

In looking back in this blog, I see, depressingly, that the last post about me and not T was January 24.  And, yes, that was the last time I was on the ice at all – nearly two months. But today I finally got out to skate today – and with the Flat-bottom V...

New Skates, Old Legs

by | Dec 27, 2010 | equipment

So after a break for the holidays I was able to get on the ice today with the new skates and the Super Feetinserts. Awesome result – the pain in the outside of the left skate is gone completely and most of the heel pain is gone. Still a little bit of discomfort after...
