The Rink is a forum for the enjoyment and benefit of the "not ready for the spotlight" ice hockey players - recreational, non-competitive and derivative.

The readers and mods will be happy to help with appropriate advice and suggestions about equipment, instructional situations, organizational questions, safety concerns or other topics that will make your experience at the rink better.

To facilitate communicationsplease use appropriate wording and phrasing that does not activate or circumvent filters that are in place.Also avoid attempts at word play or numerical games that serve innuendo but do not contribute or entertain.

The popular Fitness and Training thread(s) is now part of a distinct forum;

this allows such issues to reach the widest audience.

Other improvements to come.
