I know we were all sad when CPR closed down, but Ian at ITR has really stepped up his game. Here are two custom built gloves he repalmed for me. Both were modeled after the Hawks’ 2015 Winter Classic appearance where they wore multi-colored gloves like they did in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and early 90’s before switching to an all black glove with small red accents like they have today. All teams would look so much better with more colorful gloves IMO

Byonic still sells their runners for the Easton CXN mako holder. Bought mine from them a little over a year ago. Note: Site says Canada, but they ship internationally as well. https://byonicskatebladescdn.itemorder.com/shop/product/17567745/

I really miss NHL players having gloves that adhered to a general color scheme, but the actual execution between different brands, say Bauer and Eagle, might be a little different with the exact design. It added a little bit of color and spice. Everything is so hyper standardized now.

I still find it wild that after decades of "you need carbon and you need to remove the outsole for best energy transfer" and then now they are adding plastic shims stock into a skate.

I also agree it’s an odd decision. The funniest part to me is how people have been complaining for the last 5 years about the aggressive forward pitch of True skates only for them to neutralize pitch on their latest SVH boot while CCM introduces it. Wonder how many people will complain about it or if the sheep will remain quiet because they’ll claim forward pitch really improves your game…

I've always come back to the Quad. I've tried everything out there except for the Polaris. Personal preference, of course.

Search for more steel, swap holders, or switch to True would be my suggestions.
