Me and the wife at a Tournament over the weekend. She ran the scoreboard. Good girl.

Wife and I (we're both wearing Wild green jersey in the photo below)having some fun playing pond hockey with some fellas. It's her first time to play..well actually her first time to ever held a stick. Now she understands how it feels like playing hockey, found herself practicing stick handling when we got home...It was a great day.

The hockey player just ruins that picture.

I just got the rpd+ shifts and I have got to say that they are phenomenal. Like you guys at alkali hit this out of the park. For a long time I was really battling the issues of having such a wide foot but being a smaller guy i have little feet at the same time (in terms of length) so I was constantly just not happy with my skates or just not as happy as I could be. This baking process FINALLY lets my feet just be themselves aha. I literally got these friday at 3ish and had them baked, first time using them was around 4ish on saturday then had a NAERHL tryout at 9 and it all just felt so good. I felt quicker and faster. Even when I fell down, i popped back up cause they're just glued to my feet. I'm so happy I made this transition. Hopefully they last me quite a while. And judging by Justin's feedback on here, I'm very comfortable and confident if there were to be some defect or problem with the skate that it WILL get solved. Again, great product.

Just picked up my new stick after about 3 years! Getting more active now, decided to get the Bauer 1X P28 Giroux curve...absolutely loved it, had no problems adjusting from P88 Kane curve.

I also wear a 14 in Nike running shoes and ended up with a 13 in last years rpd max. They fit great length wise and the bake really does get a custom fit around your foot. Side note on the bake, I had it done at total hockey in st peters and the kid doing it insisted I remain seated for the entire process. Against my better judgement I too his advice and ended up with a decent, but not great fit. Skated on them a couple of times and had some spots rubbing. I went back to total hockey and did the bake process again following the steps that alkali reccomends in there YouTube video and it's a game changer. Whatever size you end up with follow alkali's instructions for the bake. It does matter.
