You're spot on. Getting 6-7 is one thing, but even with 10 we still have 4-5 who have been playing hockey for less than two years. That (and the lack of experience that comes with it) is our biggest problem, other than me and my play.

Sorry- The comment about the luxury to be on forums wasn't a shot at you or anybody else. I'm just buried and I try to make myself available as much as possible. I always try to keep an open mind as to new ideas as you never know where the next great idea will come from- I certainly don't believe in stifling the conversation. I have worked for companies that operate like that- They want what they want and they don't care about your experience as long as there is a nice story to sell people on. They give you a Powerpoint Presentation & tell you to just dance and the mice will follow . Nearly all my accounts will grill you on a cheesy Powerpoint Presentation, so you better know what you are talking about when they start grilling you- Or you will get exposed. They can smell a phony a mile away. I have working experience with Speedplate and so I will leave it at that. I just wanted to clarify that the footbed was not a situation where somebody was trying to save money. If Scott and his team were going to save money somewhere you are not going to bridge the delta on footbeds. The entire process of how they make skates is very cost prohibitive. When many companies set out to design and market a skate one of the most important factors is how can we commercialize this and make lots of money. When Scott started his journey profitibility wasn't really in the eqaution. It was something he had to figure out later on the fly as it was Player and Fit FIRST.
