estogoalie Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I was just talking to my son, we both shoot left and both say it feels "natural" to strap the left pad on first when dressing. Made me curious to see what everyone else does, and if shooting left/right has any effect on it (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm left to right on all the gear. Always been. Found out a while back that Huet had the same habit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm right handed. All gear goes on right side first: knee pads, skates, and pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawtendy48 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) If I have time to, it's usually left side first for everything, but I don't stress on it too much, there's gonna be times where you don't have time to pay attention to that Edited September 13, 2021 by southpawtendy48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creasecollector Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Usually left first, but it doesn't matter to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 well, I naturally shoot right, but learned to shoot left as a goalie. Kick left foot, but put on right skate, then left skate, right pad, then left pad. Oddly, left leg goes into pants first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you dress at home, you forget what you did by the time you get to the rink. lol At my age, I barely remember getting the first pad on by the time I strap up the second. What time is Matlock on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Ok so last night I grabbed the right pad first. I think I also put on my right skate first too, I didn't think about it until I went for my pad. I am also right handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Let me add to the brain warp. How many of you hold your breath while lacing up your skates? I noticed I do that. Not sure why. Don't have a big gut. Focus related maybe? Lolll don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
