Hi folks,

Quick background before my question.

I have played goalie all my life up to Junior, when I stopped playing competitive hockey. I have played as a player in 1 or 2 games during that time, or just on the pond or outdoor rink with the buddies.

I have just joined a league and am 2 games in.

I have some new equiptment and some used (full gear).

Basically, when I have nothing on, I can fly down the ice, but put the equiptment on me, im slower than chris simon going for a rebound.

Are there any techniques to reduce the interaction with the equitpment? Like, tight sock tape on shin pad at the top, none on the bottom..

Shinpads inside the skate tounge etc....

I have been skating all my life, so its not lack of experience, its all in the way my stuff fits.

Thanks,

James.
