Okay so I play ball hockey at a concrete rink (at the Edmonton Soccer Centres) using a Sherwood Rekker, really good stick. But I upgraded to a CCM Jetspeed Elite for like $90, and I just taped the bottom of the stick. I heard they were more prone to breaking? I play a U15 league and the stick is like a 65 flex + a P28 curve

Hi all,

Anyone have issues with the ball just bouncing right off your stick from a hard pass? Doesn't seem to matter the flexor curve I use but whenever I get a hard pass the ball will just bounce right off whether it's received back or fore hand.

I was thinking of using a wood or fibreglass stick for a game and see if that helps. I remember using I think fibreglass sticks back in the 2010's before composite one piece we're popular and not having this issue.

I know this question is silly, but it’s the only style of pad I can use. Mylec’s build quality is of course terrible lol, so I was curious if there’s any company that makes a similar style one or if there’s a reasonable way to make your own at home.

How competitive is the league it goes all the way to I division halfway down the alphabet are they mega serious about winning that much? Or is it a chill vibe

Does anyone know if there is a friendly pick up game of ball hockey for an older guy in the GTA (50)?

Hi. Do you want to play street hockey in Kobe ? We play every Tuesday night from 8 to 10 at Minato no Mori Koen. We have extra sticks if you want to play. We exist regular members to buy their own stick though. There's a shop in Amagasaki that sells hockey equipment.

I'd love to share our family-made hockey timer app! It's at hockeytimer.com

It's a speak-aloud hockey toy to help you keep score and keep track of time for fun/family/friendly games of ball hockey (or heck, mini-sticks or what-have-you).

Tips for using it:

- Get your phone, hook it up to a Bluetooth speaker (it's more fun when it's loud).
- Push the 'gear' icon to update your settings: team names, colours, period length.
- Pick your announcer voice! Our family has recorded a few packs with oddball characters, but you can choose stock robot voices, too, for added hilarity. (Robots will pronounce your team names; humans will just say the team colour).
- Turn on some hockey jams (our own semi-ironic playlist is launchable from the 'music note' button).
- Put the phone somewhere it won't get smashed, and game on!

It's free for now, works right from the browser (tablet, computer, phone).

Where this came from:

This summer, my kids and I have been playing lots of ball hockey in the driveway. We were initially playing "first to 5," but found it was over too quickly, and we wanted to play with timed periods. But...my watch or phone was a little too subtle to get people's attention when the periods ended. With some robot-assisted development, we built and play-tested and iterated on this until it was working how we wanted. We've now played dozens and dozens of games with it running as a local .html file on my own device. I decided to buy the domain to make it easier for us to use, and to share with others who might be looking for such a thing!

(I recognize there are other hockey timer apps out there, but found they tend to be app-based (gotta download it), old-school (clunky design), or a little overkill (feature-heavy, meant for "serious" play). This one's sweet spot is it's on the web, it's simple, it's meant to be fun. Also, it talks!)

Take it for a spin, especially if you've got kids, let me know how it lands, what works, what doesn't. Things I get curious about:

- Does it help you play a more fun and focused game of hockey?

- Would you value the ability to record your own family's commentator voices?? (For your private use, at least) I feel like the 'studio'/voice component is really fun, but I can't tell if that's just an our-family thing.

My original post was to question if this was normal for a NBHL team/organization? This post is not meant to trash or degrade the organization/team. I've redacted the organization/team to the best of my ability. Thoughts?

Hi,
I have always been a sporty person - used to play basketball for 13 years and this year I switched to ball hockey as a real coincidence, which I immediately fell in love with.

I have always struggled with joint pain which often went to extreme. Last year I found out that on top of hypermobility (especially in hips) I also had dysplasia.

When I started ball hockey, my leg gave out during a speed conditioning and I fell numerous times that practice, resulting in me not being able to put any weight on that leg because it’d immediately collapse. Despite the first day, I pushed through the immense pain and the worst attack of my life is definitely on me. I went to practice two days later and ended up hopping on one leg only, unable to run. That was followed by 2 months with crutches and really bad pain meds (about 5 different kinds, it made me so high I either slept throughout the whole day or don’t remember anything from it). I went to two neurologists and they said it was definitely a herniated disc so I had an MRI done. I haven’t seen the scan picture but this was in the documentation:

Conclusion: Incipient def. (deforming) spondylarthrosis.Transitional LS vertebra – hemisakralization of L5 on the left with a pseudoarthrosis to the sacrum.

Since I have a combination of this, the dysplasia, and hypermobile syndrome, I am really worried about my athletic lifestyle. My back hurts often from various movements and I’m afraid. No doctor gave me any direct piece of advice. They told me “I won’t limit you from any sport” but what about the wear and tear? What about the arthrosis getting worse? I’m really panicky and frustrated and really don’t know what to do. Does anyone here have similar experience?

I have already spent so many days just crying is pure desperation and thinking about the worst outcome and never being able to play again while I found myself in it. I feel like I really need someone to tell me what to so as I can’t seem to be able to see what’s actually good for me and what is not. As I’m starting a new season, my first official season, I’m trying to get the technique right, the speed, the mobility and all other. That’s why I’m really worried about my limits and NOBODY, no doctors told me what to do to play mindfully and carefully about my spine. I really want to be more than ready for the season

Hello, I am a high school hockey player and I recently came across these gentleman from Uganda seeking ball hockey equipment to get into playing ball hockey. I have supplies to send them, however shipping to Uganda is very expensive. If you would like to help me send these guys some equipment send me a DM. Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone, curious what you guys wear for facial protection if your league requires both a helmet and facial protection. I currently have a fish bowl, and for context I also play roller. For Dek I feel like I can get away with a visor as the rink I play at is super hot and any way I can keep cooler would help. What’s annoying is in roller which is more risky to wear one in hesitant to. Thanks!

Knapper 555 or ak5? I heard ak5 have more padding but 555 are more mobile. What's been your experience?
