Unholy Pants
After the recent barrage of "Viv, you have a hole in your (hockey) pants," I finally gave in and bought a new pair.
Actually, I had two holes in my pants, for each toot in "Toot toot!" Strangely, there's a hole in the same place in my goalie pants. No, it's not from sitting on my skates with my feet tucked behind me. It must be my fat ass.
The new pants are CCM V06s. More importantly, they do not have holes in the rear.
They make me worry, though. Now that the exhausts are gone, will the increase in backpressure lead to a decrease in power?
Yeah, I'm a dork.

As long as you can effectively adjust the air intake to fuel ratio, you should be fine with some additional backpressure. If you find that the backpressure is too high, you may need to tune the length of the pants legs to more efficiently scavenge the exhaust...

I am seriously concerned that now, lacking jet-assist, you won't be able to make it down the ice as quickly.

Not to worry! I made numerous adjustments at this week's hockey clinic wearing the new pants, and should now be tuned for better overall performance.
