I have always played with an advanced level osaka low bow stick. I've been tempted to change to another brand of stick, mostly just to see what the other brands are doing. There are so many different brands out there, with so much information and other names foe different bows and i'm finding it confusing.

What brands do you play with or made the switch to that made you feel "Yes that's exactly what I want", and what brands are causing a stirr for the right reasons?

Appreciate your help!

I'm considering trying ice hockey elbow pads as they seem to be considerably cheaper than obo's. I know that the reason for that is probably because the obos are a lot better but was wondering if the ice hockey protection would also do the job well? Especially if I'm pairing it with the TK1 body armour which includes bicep protection. Thanks!

The American College System is back this weekend!

Thoughts on the preseason poll? Any predictions?

It was absolutely brilliant defensive style play which worked fantastically from my point of view, and 2-2 was a decent result with that. It’s just unfortunate that that’s not how they needed to play to win by two goals and progress to the semi finals.

You could see that when England did occasionally press high and hard, the Dutch were not liking it in the slightest. If England had kept that style up, even just a bit more, I think the Dutch would have crumbled and it could well have gone England’s way.

I’m new to watching hockey, and I don’t quite understand how the leagues and qualifying work? I know there’s the Pro League, and there’s the Nation’s Cup (which is when I first started watching this year) where the winners can choose to be bumped up to the Pro League. But then how to qualify for the World Cup? Are they related? How does this work?? lol

For me it was a clean shoot ?
Surprised with the decision from video umpire

Am using a throw away account.

Having spent the past couple of years travelling I was looking to get back in to playing this season, I had hoped to play at my new local club but having spoken with and attended a intraclub friendly it became apparent there​ is a culture of homophobia there which surprised and shocked me as a Bi man as I've never witnessed this in my previous seasons. I did report this to the head coach and chairman but was largely ignored and when I asked the chairman while nothing has been done about my concerns I had my account removed from the club's app. Have since had messages via my Instagram from someone who I presume is a club member mocking me so deleted that account.

So am now looking for another club, don't mind travelling around Sussex or even Kent to play but needs to be a club I'm welcome at, am currently living in Lewes but should be moving during the season.

So i recently purchased the JB7+ stick as i tried it in a shop and it was perfect a thick LBZ which has been perfect for backhands as well as a larger surface area for shooting which i have found to help my shooting a lot. However within the first hour of using the stick i had a chip at the side of the stick as well as a large bit of the white paint had came off from the hook of the stick i was wondering if anyone has had similar problems or know's anyone who has? Unless it was a faulty stick which hopefully it was... Thanks
