MLX became Mako, and Now Easton doesn’t exist. Had nothing to do with the skate.
True/VH isn’t going anywhere anytime soon unless something major changes.
To be fair, the speed skating industry gave us the MLX/Mako and the VH/True so it’s certainly far from a sure thing that speed skating tech will fail in the hockey world.
Rebuilding our community outdoor ice rink. Original sand floor was installed in 2007. Time for a refrigerated concrete floor.
I found myself the project manager and superintendent for the job. I'm exhausted, but we're in the home stretch. Hope to place concrete next week.
Interesting tidbit: this rink system was from one of the first college hockey games played outdoors in modern times:

Our hockey association purchased the portable rink system from Ice Rink Events and erected it over the site of the old city pool.
Last time I checked Kor, MLX, Mako are buried, I think there is a free spot reserved for VH in the same cemetery. Innovation and new fresh ideas is always a good thing, hockey is too advanced of an industry for hobby type approach.
