For all you hockey players out there, here's kind of a strange question 
that came up at a skate last night:

Do you put on your skates before you put on the rest of your gear (pants,
shin guards) or after?

I always felt that it was more convenient to put them on after, and I've made
that a habit, but someone last night told me that he thinks that you can
seat your feet in your skates and tighten them better if you put them on
first.  

What do you hockey players out there do, and why?
