So, that leaves Pure Hockey in Anaheim and Monkey Sports in Irvine as our main options for trying on gear before buying. Just when I was planning to buy a bunch of new gear whenever league play starts up again, of course. The velcro on my elbows is pretty much useless these days, and my pants were purchased in 1998, although they had a hiatus of about 11 years from 2001-2012.
^Thats a bummer Nyssa! Lucky for me, Monkey Sports and Pure Hockey are only about 25 minutes away from Long Beach. I recently purchased some new hockey pants from Pure Hockey since my old Easton pants were over 10 years old, still offered a lot of protection, but they were heavy!
For the first time in nearly 2.5 years Im playing beer league hockey again! Our league at East West Ice Palace in Artesia started up two weeks ago. I hadn't been on the since late 2018 I think? I got in a couple of stick-times at KHS so I would suck less when returning to league play. Those sessions definitely helped me out, but my cardio is lacking, but getting better. Thus far we are 2-0 and have this weekend off since it is Memorial Day. I'm debating getting on a team at Lakewood Ice (part of The Rinks network) that plays mid-week, I've never done the two teams at once thing, seems like it could do wonders for my cardio and get my skills back up to par sooner. Their leagues start back up on June 13.
I been getting texts from my captain to come back since the league has reopened. But not only am I not ready to share sweat with all them, I'm hella out of shape hahaha. I better start walking after work or something. Or skating even... they made my street one of them "Slow Streets"
Been doing limited group skates and thanks to Nana Jammer I am sporting new skates. The breakin was way easy considering every other part of me hurt too. Finally getting to the point where I can play forward with less than three lines. Hands and shot aren't back yet but then they never really were. The legs are getting there though.
The locker room has been recently reopened, but the showers are still locked up. I'm hoping by mid summer we are back to full on beers in the room status.
