thanks!

I think you need to go full big bag, make sure it will fit in your transportation though.

no problem fitting it in the JKU! I think full size may be overkill though. I'm prob gonna go with 30-32".

thanks!

awesome, 3 dudes + goalie showed up for our team tonight...

They let us have one guy fill in. They would've let us have two if we took the forfeit... We shoulda just forfeited for the extra man

If you are going lose because of not having enough players to fill normal positions then forfeit. Unless you absolutely know the game will be close.

Let the other teams ringers whine and cry about not being able to pad their stats.

Same here. I just swap the appropriate gear.

So much this. I use different bags depending on which car I take. In my commuter, I use a Grit Tower bag. In my sports car, the tower bag takes up the entire front seat and barely allows the door to close, so I use an Akalai backpack bag.

I need to get another bag, almost brought my ice skates to a roller game! Speaking of roller, I am having people (and families)over on Sat for pickup and a SCF game watch. Still looking for a few more skaters. If you are interested in coming down south to Encinitas PM me. Pickup starts at 3:00.

We lost 3-1 yesterday but it felt like a victory to us! The team we played is full of 4th season "rookies", yeah, pretty comedy huh! First goal I gave up went off my blocker, then off the crossbar and landed in the crease behind me, I wasn't able to get to it before there guy who tapped it in. That was all for the first period, 2nd period was a 2 on 0, i got over in time but got beat 5-hole, 3rd goal was through traffic, I should have been further out, dropped down to butterfly, saw the puck come through the forest of legs, made a right pad save but was too deep and it bounced off my pad, then off the inside of the right post and in. 3rd period, no goals were given up.

Our team had a couple new players on it, both of which had experience and it made a WORLD of difference! For the first time (in 3 games) it actually felt like a game. The guys had some decent offensive zone possession and played their positions well. I didn't even care that we lost at all, I was more impressed with how well everyone played and the team morale was high as well.
