Spats are a high density polyethylene shield that protects the top, and the inside of your foot. It won’t protect your ankle, so you can’t really call them ankle guards.

Are you looking to get in a game to see how your training is progressing?

If you have been training and was to see how your training is progressing this is for you! Our friends at The Hockey Community can help you out with that!

The Hockey Community was humbly founded in 2010 by 3 roommates, Alex, Martine and Daniel. As an engineer and entrepreneur student in France. Alex came to Vancouver for an 8 month internship. While in Vancouver he rekindled his passion for hockey, a game he had played as a child. The search for places to play hockey in Vancouver began, but only outdated websites and incorrect pdf hockey schedules were found. Why was it so hard to find players, drop-in games and hockey skills classes in Vancouver? After a few discussions, he found he was not the only one who couldn’t enjoy his passion due to a lack of information.

The goal is to make hockey more accessible

From that day on Alex had an idea and vowed to make hockey more easily accessible for everyone! His roommates Daniel (civil engineer) and Martine (Retail Manager) who shared this passion, put their careers on hold, to make it happen. With their engineering minds, they taught themselves the technology needed to execute their project. With the help of great people from the hockey community, they developed The Hockey Community. The Hockey Community has now taken a life on its own and has more than 5000 ice rinks in the database. The team is always listening to the community and working hard to make the platform better.

Our friends at The Hockey Community are using technology to help you find a game. Check them out today!

NHL Pros Still Not Wearing Ankle Guards

January 29, 2011 Hockey Blogs No Comments

Don Cherry seems to have a thing about ankle guards. If an NHL player wears them, Cherry will be the first to notice. ‘The Don’ seems to think they’re a good thing, and is surprised more players don’t wear them.

(Don Cherry is hockey commentator for CBC Sports in Canada)

This from the guy who’s famous quote on Visors:
“Most of the guys that wear them are Europeans and French Guys.” caused an
