I have a feeling you're being way modest! I tape every few games with the method I use. Blades are freakishly expensive!!!! This is why I take the time to do that. I play pick up with every level imaginable. This includes guys who are ex-pros, ex juniors, hacks, beginners, and literally EVERYTHING in between. I don't dare tell these guys I played Junior A- I have lost ability by the TRUCK LOAD!!!! They are getting the idea, however, as i am showing some of my ability with the poke check. I will embarrass the occasional dangler with a poke check... Playing for 100% fun is AWESOME. I just wish I felt good enough about this that I could go w/o shoulder pads. But these guys play too fast and furious; after all, I was ready to drop the gloves not long ago...
