A hockey skate includes a fiber-reinforced, composite frame, or an injected plastic frame, including a boot form and integral pedestals that serve as a blade-holder. The pedestals are integral with the bottom of the boot sole and are optionally spaced relatively far apart to provide a long span between them. An optional bridge assembly may be used to connect the blade to the pedestals. The bridge assembly may provide increased stiffness and vibration damping, as well as customized fit options.

An emergency lighting power supply includes a rechargeable battery; ballast circuitry configured to supply power to an external light, battery charging circuitry configured to charge the battery, and a controller. The controller determines an amount of time the rechargeable battery has discharged to supply power, via the ballast circuitry, to the external light. If the amount of time is less than a threshold, the controller causes the battery charging circuitry to supply a first current to charge the battery for a first charging period that is proportional to the amount of time, and causes the battery charging circuitry to supply a second current to charge the battery subsequent to the end of the first charging period.

A reversible chest protector includes internal padding configured to absorb impacts against both the front and rear-facing surfaces of the chest protector. The chest protector includes inner and outer layers of fabric that are molded to an internal foam core. The foam core may include outer layers of closed-cell foam molded to the fabric layers, and an internal layer of open-cell foam molded to the closed-cell foam layers, such that the padding layup is symmetrical. Other features and advantages will appear hereinafter.
