Didn’t Louisville(?) make wood blade with a similar bend in the hosel years ago? edit: it was hespeler. http://www.schoolyardpuck.com/2010/07/tblfan-ub-offset-blade-review.html

Probably

I know they’re made in the same place but I agree with CTB, the Grafs just feel different somehow. Tracer count doesn’t matter.

Sherwood gloves and Cooper shells are sold. Tackla lowers, RBK 9k girdle, and NY Islanders Edge socks are all that remain.

That brings up the same issue as the grip/stretch tape, though. I prefer something that lasts longer than a game or two without reapplying.

I think I confused terms Is this what you’re referring to as grip tape? https://howieshockeytape.com/products/white-stretchy-hockey-grip-tape I always referred to it as stretch tape. In my experience, tackimacs are as easy on palms as the grip/stretch tape listed above but last much longer. Traditional hockey tape is harder on palms than either of them.

I switched to tackimac just because it was less abrasive in my palms than grip tape.

Jofa shin pads are sold.

Lefty blades went to PIAS.

19k elbow pads are sold.

Similar to OzziesDad, I cut one tackimac into several pieces. The electric tape keeps it snug without glue so they can be reused.

DU lowers are sold. Final price drop before I move next week.

I have a pair DU gloves with a similar rip on a side of the shell. The EQM applied what looks like crazy glue or clear nail polish or epoxy over the spot. If you can’t get a needle in there to sew, you could maybe just seal it. Ask around at a craft store for suggestion?
