Last time I saw the ones at MSG, you have to put it through the hole all the way, than pull back so it doesn't get through the hole again, and lock it into place. You probably have the same ones.

Ours have a pin locking system and two rails with a piece that goes in between and the pin goes through a hole in the removable piece but its so damn hard to find the hole! My Gear:

Yes, nothing special but as I'm young and just trying to get my start in this career. Gotta start somewhere though and work your way up right? My Gear:

Dec 11, 2011 00:16 | #36 Yeah, the new holes started this season, the league as I understand it mandated a change to the locking pin system as described, they also changed the size of the holes which really kinda sucks as they are about 1" smaller in both dimensions which dramatically decreases your "angle of opportunity" here's a shot of me shooting last year, I'd just pulled back to protect my lens, it's the closest you can get to actually being on the ice.....for those who aren't familiar with the holes, you can see the edges of the hole I usually shoot through right where the guys are hitting the glass.... This was last year with the bigger holes and the velcro pieces.  Canon, Gitzo, Arca Swiss, RRS, Custom made accessories.

With a new coach and new player I will be focusing on them. My Gear:
