dEv~ 19 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Order placed. I could be skating by mid next week. It's UPS 2 day that's shipped out today. I'm not sure if UPS will pick up the order today, tomorrow, or Monday but I could be skating by the end of next week. Now let the embarrassment begin. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 So after losing every game so far, we won 7-3 today and Adrian scored two goals..The kids had a great time and are playing so much better. The key at this age is skating. A lot of the kids including Adrian are much better at skating then they were 3 months ago..While its all about having fun, its fun to win once in a while too.Two great goals by Adrian, one a down the wing shot to beat the goalie, the other a breakaway where he actually deked the goalie..Good times.

dEv~ 19 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'd imagine skating isn't just key for Adrian's age but also at my skill level.The first part of my shipment last night left at 7:56pm from Ontario....California that is. It's due to arrive by the end of the day Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday there are stick and puck sessions so I'm going to shoot to attend one of both. Hopefully I can get my skates sharpened at the rink as I understand they're not sharpened out of the box. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Please keep us up to date in your journey as I am also beginning a similar one..Will do. Hopefully my skates fit. I wide to a shoe store and measured. I'm a size 10.5 but with a wider foot. I ordered size 9EE skates. Bauer Supreme's are supposed to considered wider to begin with so hopefully I'll be ok. They do have free return shipping though. I watched these videos to help me decide... - How to Properly Fit Your Skates - How to Select an Ice Hockey Skate - Bauer Supreme ONE40 Ice Hockey SkateLol, I could have picked it up and sent it to you. I live 5 minutes from Ontario haha.Haha, I don't think you'd want to match the free 2 day shipping I got. It originated in San Luis Obispo anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My neighbour who is around 50 and has been around hockey forever and has put 2 kids through minor hockey(one of his sons played very high level) recommends I should be spending about $300 on a pair of skates..He said"you dont need to get really expensive ones" WTF..$300 is a lot for skates NO?He said once you become good you can spend $600 on really good skates..

But you dont need to get into super high end.. Link to post Share on other sites
