roller to ice

Profile- 5 foot 8 inch 210 pounds. I just started playing ice a few months ago but played roller/dek hockey my whole life. I like to think I take it seriously, but how serious can you take mens league. I get on the ice about 5-6 times a week, and i play rw and sometimes c. Fit- After only using nbh vapors for ice and missions for roller i must say the ccms fit my rather fat foot nicely. A little tight at first but i have found that these skates react better to baking in comparison to my vapors(it might of helped that they fit better then the vapors to begin with as well.)9/10 Holder- Once again im not the best skater so i cant give a detailed comparion. They felt very different then the tuuks on my vapor XVI's a little less springy. but it did not take long to get used to. It aslo seems that i can get away with more ice time on these blades than the ones on my vapors. 7/10 Weight- Heavier than my last skate. But in comparison to other skates i was looking at in the same price range only heavier than the vapor XXII. Once on the ice no part of the boot/holder was heavier specifically nicely evened out so i saw no problem with the weight. 7/10 Durability- Have had them for only bout a month and a half but see no specific wear and tear or fraying of significant stitching just a few puck marks on the holders and scrapes on the toe. I must say these skate just by the looks of how they where put together appear to by very durable but i will update this in a while when i start to find out. TBD Protection- I have taken many a puck to skates and hard slashes being that i have tendency to piss people off, and have found them to be very protective nothing mind blowing but sufficient to say the least. 8/10 Conclusion- A very good skate for the price. If the ccm fit is good for your feet i highly suggest this skate. It has the price range for someone who has work for a living but the performance of higher models that i have tried that are about 100-150 USD more. I am very happy with this purchase and will be trying out other ccm products asap.

i just got my skates sharpened at the rink i play at for the first time and they did the worst job i had ever seen (i usually go to the icehouse insteada floyd hall b/c they do it alot better) but the guy who did them is always nice to me and helpful in other ways and i did not wanna give em a hard time so i just payed for it picked up some tape and that was that just wont go back there again to get sharpenings. I could see some a-hole yelling at him i always try to be the best customer possible b/c i see other ppl being pains in the ass.
