I’m very impressed with how well these turned out. They fit amazingly well. It’s like my heel pops into the skate and is just locked in. Tomorrow is my first skate with them and I’m sure I’ll have more to say about them after.

Two months later, we got 'er done! http://flatheadbeacon.com/2017/12/04/community-hub-ice/

That dude is really good at reading marketing material.

I've been playing with this group for nearly 3 years, and he's been playing since well before then. He knows better.

Yes I saw that video too. He also had another one reviewing the machine. In that video and others they have commented on how solid/substantial of a machine it is, how he has travelled with it all over and how well it has held up. I’m not sure I agree with your point but at the same time I only plan on using it for my family anyway.

Sparx has a commercial offering now with a beefed up motor for additional volume (>1600 sharpenings a year). Less than that and the consumer model is deemed sufficient. They also offer an extended warranty for repairs if you need that type of assurance. https://www.sparxhockey.com/pages/commercial-homepage Although the Sparx is skinned in plastic to make it visually look like a consumer product, it's shipping weight is just about 50 pounds. There's nothing flimsy or cheap feeling about it. A grinding ring lasts 320 cycles, which if you average 4 cycles per skate, equates to 40 pairs. colins

Howdy, Anyone whacking away at a covered puck at a pickup with no refs is a douche. Hell, I expect to take a push / shove or two or whatever when I try stuff like that (before the whistle) in a regular adult league game with refs. And when that happens, I'll just say "good save" or whatever and skate away. And if someone cross checked my goalie in the head on purpose the absolute best he could expect from me would be for me to knock him on his ass. Mark

I didn't know these skates included infants? I'll let myself out...
