they have changedfrom the pins that get drilled in to the ones that should be heated and sink into the ice but the problem with them is if the goals are knocked off they break a bigger bit ice off with them

Basically its a problem that's been solved in an effective and inexpensive way - FIA just choose not to adopt it for some reason. It might be that they screw the ice for regular skating or something, but i'd have thought the anchor would be set just below the surface of the ice so it could be frozen over when required and drilled out again later.

the pegs they are using are big and no way should the nets keep coming off, may be the ice staff could leave some ice next to the posts for the goalies to pack them a bit better might help

Curling circles down now . Hopefully ambient temperature a bit cooler on Sat night than currently, should help a bit.

The pad is higher at the cafe and than the bar end. So the cage end always has had more problems at the beginning of the season.. But goalies always kick the nets off.
