Like you mentioned earlier, given that Warrior’s owned by New Balance, there’s a lot of footwear know-how in the greater corporate group. My thought has been, if the interest equation were in favor of doing it, Warrior would go ahead. Regardless of which direction they wanted to go, they could jump in the market and do ok with their investment. Even if they wanted to acquire a different small speed skate company to fold their IP into these hypothetical new skates, they could afford to do that. The fact that they haven’t makes me think the numbers really just don’t add up in that direction. PS—sorry for contributing to taking this so far off topic! PPSS—the new RX3 gloves have my interest 🙂

I get where your feelings come from. When we get to the rainbow bridge, we are reunited with our loved ones. So sorry about the loss of your furry family member.

From what I recall from scattered posts is the problem with pursuing Graf in that way is it wasn’t a brand acquisition but a liscensing of the brand so it couldn’t be folded in under the any new brand’s roof. Graf-CH is still the parent company.

So much misinformation in the last few posts. I can't/won't comment, but what I can say is that several of the comments posted are either incorrect or not how it really happened.

Warrior was interested in VH prior. I'm not sure of the semantics, but it never happened, and then True swooped in. I'm curious as to what you are basing this on. While both companies are doing well, True just took the leap in acquiring VH. I highly doubt they would be so quick to turn around and basically just sell off everything, and not continue to push forward for their share of the market.

Here's an update from my previous posts. I used a pair of thinner tongues I had laying around to re-bake the skates so that they would wrap more and give me a tighter fit, along with clamping and using tensor tape. They still could be a little tighter with less negative space, but they are better than before. One strange thing about these skates is that the looser I tie them the better they seem to feel. True has offered to shorten the facing on the skates if I can't get them just right.

We loved our experience with Chase and had a great time walking through our products with him. Due to our new business model, we hope that you can make your own opinion and determination on sticks buy testing it out during our 14 day Risk-Free Trial. If you are curious about our sticks and do not want to put all your trust in product reviews or videos you can purchase an elite level STX stick and demo it during our Risk Free Trial period. If the sticks are not what you expected or want to use a different curve/flex you can activate a return and we will give you your money back or exchange the stick for your new curve or flex. Product videos are great but why not try the stick out for yourself. We hope this new business direction becomes the new norm in the hockey industry.

Well, last Tuesday I had to put my dog to sleep. It was truly one of the worst days of my life and the whole week has been so dark with him. He was an amazing, funny, smart, kooky, crazy beast and I will always miss him.
