I’m Christmas shopping for my 11 year old son in his 8th year of hockey. I am not sure what the primary difference is in the extreme passing kits…the bungee cord one or the one timer passer. They both look great and cost the same…which one would you recommend as a training tool for a Pee Wee player?

Thanks so much!

Which do you like more the dryland flooring tiles or the shooting pad? Also which one slides better?

Thanks!

spray or sprinkle something like pledge, or wood polish or oil. just a thin layer. simply spray, wipe, and use. remember to not wipe it clean, just to get the extra residue off the surface. when theres too much on the board, thee puck wilnt slide, itll just stick like the puck does when theres water on the ice. just wipe and sue, simple 3 steps that you havent gotta do vurry oftennnnn:) hope i helped ya out dur buddy!

I recently bought a medium size shooting board but most of the time, the puck does not slide well and flips around too much. Does anyone have any solutions? (something to get the puck to slide better on my shooting board)

Hi,

I have a cheap solution for eliminating stinky equipment. I mix a half and half solution of 99% pure isopropyl (purchased from Costco cheap) and either tap water or if you like distilled water. I spray my gear after each game and it basically disinfects all my equipment. The downside is that if you have a short turnaround time your gear will still be wet. Since I place my gear in the boiler room in my house it dries pretty quickly. If your gear has developed a smell that doesn’t go away after a single treatment then do it again and that should do it.
Oh, it’s also great for your stinky running shoes and the stinky mat where your dog sleeps.

Good Luck,
Bentley.

When you take your slapshot you want to have firmness with the stick. But you must be taking the slapshot correctly. If you feel like you are breaking your stick buy a bundle of wood sticks to shoot with and beat the snot of them and when you finnaly get it down use a composite stick and you should see your slapshot ripple right through the air

I haven’t personally roller bladed on the tiles, but I did see an entire roller rink set up using them so I assume they are fine. I would suggest soft wheels though! I still have the tiles, but I do not have any roller blades. I might buy some and test it out for the summer.
