Sorry man, thought it was a good deal. Thanks for the info, I will consult you before buying my next pair.

Got my two free grinding rings thanks to my referral code, and they sent me a couple extras! 1/2” is my normal goalie skate, 3/8” is just to give it a try.

That's a darn good idea. Might have to see about that. I'm pretty sure a couple of them are brand new even, because when they offered them, I bought 1 of each trial pack with all the rings.

The one thing I notice about Step Steel (had it in the 6.5 Supreme MX3s my son just outgrew) is that it is MUCH more resilient and needs fewer sharpenings...once you get it sharp anyway. It does seem to take a few more passes to achieve good clean edges if they're torn up because the steel seems to be harder. In the end, that all balances out. If I didn't have 2 sets of LS3 steel with this current pair, I'd have switched him out. Overall, I'm sure I'm well in the hole with the purchase of the sharpener and quite a few different rings until we found what all 4 of us like (my wife and I both play hockey too), but I wouldn't go back to a LHS here in Dallas unless my son ended up playing at a the one rink where we have a trustworthy sharpener. The fact that I can throw the skates on the sharpener and trust the machine implicitly to get them right while I tape a stick or pack a bag is the ultimate in hockey parent convenience. I guess if I included gas and time spent, I might get close to break even in another year or 2 in a pure dollars sense, but this is a luxury well worth the capital costs in my opinion.

If I could find a pair for $150 I'd be ecstatic.

That was me, though I did use a shoe horn when baking. The issue occurred days later the first time I put them on. To this day I still use a shoe horn every time I put them on just because it’s easier.

I ordered some custom Alphas at the end of November, 6 weeks later theses guys showed up. The mesh on the figures and cuff roll almost looks dark grey (which I actually would have preferred) in certain lights, which I think looks pretty slick. The emblem is my initials and number (80 or 8). I do like the cuff on these a lot better than the retail gloves, but I liked the stretch gussets better on the retails. They feel a bit tighter and smaller, I'm hoping breaking them in will loosen them up a little.

Well to be fair that's nearly as scientific as the VT study was.
