  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Just randomly venting about the changes, ignore or delete if inappropriate.

I can't help but hate how there's only the next/prev buttons at the bottom and you can't pick by page or jump to the last page.

I also miss having the hfboards at the top to jump to the main index to change forums. Yeah you can go through the menu at the top left but it's just an extra step.

Rant over.

You can, it's just very hard to see in dark mode. It will get changed eventually according to the admins, but it's not in their control.

Tap the numbers and it'll let you enter a page number to jump to. If you're not on the first/last page then tap between prev and next

Anyone know of any local rinks you can show up with a puck and clap a few pucks around? Like a free skate type of deal. There's one at Kerrisdale arena but only on Mondays during the day, I'm looking for something at night or on the weekends. Me and a couple friends have been trying to find somewhere to go, might have to hit up Alta lake in whistler as a last resort which is kinda far lol.

Side note, there's a new outdoor roller hockey arena in North van that's almost finished construction just over 2nd narrows to the east you can see it from the bridge

I don't know but this is specifically called stick n puck. Most rinks will have a time slot for it but generally not evenings/weekends when you get the much more lucrative league games.

8 Rinks was my muse back when I was learning how to skate. I'm too far out to make anymore recommendations.

I played some pickup roller at Ambleside once. f***ing mint.

It's so hard to find some ice to play on unless you play beer league

Most rinks do some stick and puck programmes, do you drive? My local rinks are all on the East side of North Road, which basically might as well be the boonies to most Vancouverites.

Planet Ice Coquitlam is a good bet. Port Coquitlam Rec Centre if you don't mind getting up early.

There are stick and puck games oriented toward families at most Vancouver community centre rinks on weekends. But you have to use the rink's floppy anti-slapshot sticks, there are a limited number of sticks long enough for adults, and the pucks are those orange plastic things.

It's surprisingly fun, especially if just the right number of people show up and it's a competitive game. There's lots of room and you can try crazy stuff. It's the only game I've ever been able to score with a between-the-legs snapshot top shelf.

These boards are wild.

Team Miller vs Team Pettersson.

Very little rational discussions to be had right now. Just emotional drivel.
