As a background, I've been a MSH and S2K nerd for 1-2 years, but realized today that hf boards was quite a bit deeper gamewise and more global, which I find important, especially since I moved to EU. I remain an absolute equipment geek, but now that the equipment is settled, I want to play as much as possible and to improve my personal set of skills as much/soon as possible. I'm quite old already and I really want to play at the highest possible level hockeywise. I still have a life, where I study though. (exam tomorrow xD)
If you guys need tips on equipment, I know I can help you or guide you to the right person/place.
