Which is why I am glad my major was Accounting Information Systems. A nice blend, opened me to more options.

I wouldn't worry too much. From a far away glance, all they did was change the tongue and add a little more ankle padding. The tongue that was on there was good, so hopefully the change isn't too far off. But other than that, I think if you didn't have problems with the original, you wont notice much a difference with the new pair. Zach

Yesterday, I told a kid (with absolute sincerity) that he'd done a really good job sticking with a kid about twice his size in a battle for the puck during a drill. He absolutely lit up. Best part of coaching.

My wife tried hockey at women's drop-in last night. She didn't love it. At least she tried it. Have to give her huge credit. Now she understands how difficult it is--and how much our girls have learned in a year.

I'm a size 6.5 and I've always seen the all 80mm setup as a disadvantage to my skating because the wheelbase is too long for my foot length. Too much of the front wheel is ahead of my toe, too much of the rear wheel is behind my heel, and that makes turning just brutal. That's not an equal tradeoff of top speed for me. With good bearings I'm just as fast on a junior Hum'er chassis so I'm not missing out on much. Personally I'll take a hit on my top-end speed to gain agility and lateral quickness. Basically if I'm ever going full-burn straight ahead it's usually because I did something wrong in positioning anyway. For a player like me it's a good design choice. Maybe that's Alkali's reasoning, maybe it's not. Either way it's good to see them paying attention to the length of the wheel base for smaller senior sizes.

How do the skates fit? Will they have a last like the supreme/vapor? Deep boot?
