Thread: I want to start playing but...

I'm down.

I could maybe talk to my instructor and see if he'd be willing to do a class type thing....shouldn't be too expensive if we get a bunch of people in on it. You might have to cruise up to the SCV though.

Stop making excuses. JUST DO IT!

To be honest, I don't want to pay an outsider to run the
practice. I think we have enough experienced players on LGK
to run our own. I'm talking basic practice drills, skating,
passing, shooting, positioning, ect. I did not have a scrimmage
included, but if everyone wants one, I'm sure
we could.

That sounds cool PTDP. I know from going to stick time, doing some drills can do some wonders for your skills and confidence on the ice. I think it'd be great and on top of it, lots of fun. If one is organized, i know I'd be in.

was a time in my freelancing days where i was only insured if i was in my car or on the ice. those were the days.....

hire marty mcsorely for a group lesson. he teaches up in PV on wednesday nights, I'm certain he would do it for you guys.

i'd be up for attending as well.

never realized my US Hockey registration had the insurance, wow an actual benefit.
One other recommendation, wear kneepads at public skates, it will increase your confidence to get closer to the edge and actually learn something. If you can borrow a helmet do so if you plan to try stopping and want some extra insurance.
I actually used to wear full gear at public skates, drew some stares but also got people out of my way since they saw I was actually working on stuff.
