After 12 years in the industry working for other shops and operating my own mobile team service, I've finally made the move and opened a full pro shop in a busy dual pad rec facility. I'm excited to embark on this and continue developing my own brand. Time to get 'er done!

Only took 2 months but I've gotten around to respond. @Cavs019 you (and all the people in these threads) are correct. After talking in the locker room, with pro shop reps, and most importantly the guy that has sharpened skates here in SE Michigan for about 100 years (he's crazy but does one hell of a job on my skates)...........everyone confirms what you are saying.............the skates coming out of the Asia's and far east are just as good if not better then whats coming out of Canada at the consumer level. Graf has been taken over by a bunch of $$$ counters and the quality of the skates has fallen in recent years.......All that said I am still very happy with my purchase.

Definitely go with the Team. The difference in the chassis and boot is night and day verse the CA5 skates. I have a narrow foot and with a heat fit, the skates will wrap nicely around your foot.
