Wax on/Wax off

Friday night pickup at the SensPlex and I felt great out there. I really felt like I was skating with some movement and purpose. Could it be my new laces?

When I was at BK Sports Repair earlier in the week I picked up some new laces. A pair of non-waxed and a pair of waxed. The guy behind the counter explained to me that the difference is that the waxed laces allow you to tie the laces up that much tighter. He said some people don’t like them because they feel they cut through the tongue of the skate, but nonetheless you can lace up skate much tighter with the waxed laces.

Of course, maybe I was just on fire last night. Monday is the Adult Dynamic Skills Course at the SensPlex, so we’ll see how the skating goes again then.

A note about ‘The Rocket’

A few people have asked me what's up with the image at the top of the page. Well, it's an image courtesy of Marc Audet. Along with being a weird hybrid Calgary Flames and Ottawa Senators fan, he is also one of the region's top illustrators. You can check out more of his work at Rocket 57
