@@charlielindgrensmustache you’re right. I thought it was a bit odd too. But the frame is pretty solid. These are ice hockey nets after all.

@@zabrid9143 yes, in full goalie gear. Although it’s pretty warm, the facility is air-conditioned. Still hot but tolerable.

He had all the time in the world, lol.

Yes it is.

Nice. Enjoy your summer!

Yes. You are absolutely right. It was intense indeed. It was 4-4 for a solid 20mins (real time) before the white team won it.

Yes, cement. I guess the bare surface the winter ice would sit on.

it is, but its fun and a great workout lol

It’s not so bad right now. And although they will turn the air conditioning on soon, it does still get a bit warm during the game. But still bearable.

The Canucks are looking good. But wouldn’t count the Oilers out just yet. Although they look a bit tired. Just as a hockey fan, I’m hoping to see a game seven. And another tough one for the Leafs. I loved their series comeback though. And we all know game seven overtime, anything can happen. Every year, we either have to get through Boston, Tampa Bay, or Florida. So no easy pass in round one. But all in all, some great playoff hockey this year.

It certainly was a tough night for the white team. And no sticks, we usually have two captains drafting.

Appreciate the offer. But we already have a full slate of players in the group. Most of them playing together 20+ years or more.

Ah nice. Enjoy your holidays buddy. You will be all refreshed and ready to tend the pipes when you’re back.

You’re so right. Many players don’t realize how tired we get because we can’t pick and choose when we rest, lol. Glad to hear about your new nets. I’ll be 58 soon. My knees and hips do take a lot of pounding from butterfly’s but so far holding up OK. But do know one day they won’t, lol.

No, not a league. Just weekly pickup for fun and cardio but we have a permit for this time-slot.

We do the same thing at Birchmount Recreation center. It's a activity there, they charge 4.50 for 2 hours. And we rent at Blake Recreation center for 2 hours as well. Most of us are at least 50 plus.

@@gvks135 that’s awesome. Good to see other rec centers have this option. More places to play is a good thing.

lol. Yup. But this is a different league. We had a great regular season (7-3) but things fell apart in this one and done playoff game. Oh well. We’ll regroup again for the Fall season.

Lots of people who play ball hockey also play ice hockey. I am one of them. Playing ice is definitely more expensive. And with Ball I can play all year round. And many facilities have available permits or dedicated timeslots a few times a week. Personally, I have not gotten into inline because I don’t see it being played anywhere around me. Really, it all comes down to accessibility. A lot of the guys I play with will say the same thing. Many people who see people playing Ball Hockey always make the assumption that they don’t know how to skate. And that ice hockey is the only valid form of the game. Ball Hockey is a different game. And in some ways harder than ice.

...you must have forgotten... we live in Trudeau's Canada... sht is TOO EXPENSIVE now... lol ..but he can't take our Floor hockey ;) besides.... I think the people who rent out the gyms/schools... they dont want to ruin their floors... No inline. no rollerblade etc.

Sticks can get up and I have seen some guys get clipped in the face. Nothing wrong with protecting your eyes.

Haha. The GoPro’s will take the odd hit now and then, but they hold up well.

Good luck tonight.

Haha. We more or less tolerate each other because we know we’ll see them again next week, lol.

Each GoPro camera is protected in a metal case. And the case sits on top of the blue padded mat mounted to the wall behind the nets. The mats are about 4” thick.

Ok. Thanks brother… I just have to find that ‘attachment’ on their website I guess? I’ve got mine attached to my helmet which is cool also but doesn’t catch all the action lol. Thanks 🙏

@@iamtheboxer Anytime buddy. The mounts I am using are just a standard ones that typically comes with camera purchase. Nothing fancy there. I’m sure you can find them used on marketplace or Kijiji. The metal protective case is just something homemade. Electrical box with some sponge padding. I have been wanting to experiment with attaching a GoPro Session camera to my helmet. It’s the smallest and lightest camera I have. But I don’t want to put a permanent mount on my mask, lol. I’ll figure a way to make something temporary later on.

I’m old too, lol. And we still play 5 on 5 full rink over the summer. No refs but 1.5 hours of straight hockey. It is tough but a great cardio workout.

Hopefully you can get back into it soon.

Greetings sir! Yeah, the gym is well lit but a little highlight adjustment in editing makes it seem even brighter.

Hey buddy. I am using two older GoPro 4’s to record the games. I experimented with protection, since the odd time they will take a direct shot given the camera location. I have them in a padded metal case so pretty well protected. The cases sit on top of the 4 inch ledge on the padded wall behind the nets. The pad is sturdy enough, and the cameras don’t really move during gameplay. And yes, both cameras run at the same time, and then I sync them up and edit the footage in Adobe Premiere. I initially started off with one camera, just getting of feel of things and not quite sure what I was doing. My biggest fear was having a camera easily destroyed, lol. I experimented with different types of padded protection. But once I got that sorted, adding a second camera seemed like a given. It truly does not take much longer to edit the game from two cameras. Because technically, I’m just watching, scrubbing and editing footage from both cameras simultaneously. So A and B roll. The action will always be in one or the other. Much easier to do it this way than one camera at a time.
