Colored pads?
- mr.peanut


He had white pads last season, switched to black and white this year.

With used goalie equipment, you're just glad to find something that works on marketplace.

yeah, especially for kids, brand new goalie equipment prices these days must be insane.

If you're buying everything brand new, you're looking at a 1400$ bill without going "high end" gear.

They need to switch almost the whole set every 2 years max so going with used equipment and selling the one he just used is usually the way to go if you don't wanna ruin yourself.

We got lucky last time, some rich kid decided to play goalie for a year and stopped and his parents had bought a completely new set. With only 1 year of use, it was basically brand new.

Just sold his old pads for 200$, now if someone could just buy his old skates I'd be all set.

Yeah, my cousin was a goalie on the same house league teams I was on.

He grew so fast at one point, had to change out most of his equipment 3 times in like 18 months.

Got expensive.

Yeah.... I usually try to buy a little bigger than he needs so he grows into it.

But if he grows up too much this year, I'm screwed.

damn. are there any subventions available for poorer families? even for kids playing forward or on defense it must be hard for families with more than one kid to keep up.

poor nutrition should help hinder his development, and plus it'll cost you less on the grocery bill..!

intermitent fasting

its mostly so that I can be lazy in other area ( Alchool as an example)

realised that I dont care about breakfast that much, so nothing from 21:30 to 12:30, i've been doing it for a year.

At first I was like : I'm gonna just do it weekdays, I dont want to go crazy over it, but most of the time I do it all the time, save on vacation

you know i never thought about it until now that you guys' parents all played hockey too. down here, my dad never even came to a game and i had to repeatedly remind my mother that i was going to play hockey, not soccer. they just were not into sports.
