So every skate breaks down and I believe the comment was that the CCM skates has show more wear. Never said they were more broken down. However at 3 times a week for the period of time your friend has had them they cant be as solid as they day he got them, but I think we get the point. 😉

I've owned true and CCM within the last couple of years. I haven't owned Bauer's since my one100s about 8 years ago so I can't comment on them. The trues are by far more durable than the ccm As1s. The as1s are nice skates but they aren't worth the price point Imo. I play about once a week and in three mths the ccms show way more wear than my trues did in 1.5 years. But do your own research and at the end of the day the best fit is really all that matters.

Makes sense 🙂 Nothing wrong with that!

First time I've ever played in a tournament. Won the first game Friday night 2-1. On Saturday we lost the first game by a score of 3-1 with an empty net (I'll get to that in a moment). Saturday night we beat the eventual champion 4-3 in a shootout (I'll be getting to that one as well). The team that won the tournament actually had two games they won with a score of 10-2. We ended up not making it to the championship. We were tied with another team for points, and goal differential, and ended up breaking the tie with a head-to-head (the team we lost to so they owned that tie breaker). Now for those notes... if we had won the third game in regulation rather than the shootout, we would have had the second most points and played in the championship. Beyond that, if we had NOT pulled the goalie in our 3-1 loss, we would have also owned the goal differential tiebreaker from a 2-1 loss and still made the championship. Oh, hindsight on the decision to pull the goalie... I never in a million years would have thought an empty net goal in the second game would have ended our run... All in all I'm pretty damn proud of our team. Being eliminated on the THIRD tie-breaker shows we played well enough to win. Knowing we also beat the eventual champions meant we very well could have taken the whole damn thing. That said, it was kind of nice to get to go home Saturday and not play on Sunday (at least, until my usual league game!) What a crazy week. Hockey Wednesday night, Softball Thursday night, hockey Friday night, hockey twice Saturday, and hockey Sunday night. I'm pretty sore.

I can tomorrow my son has them on his now. Look good!! With engraved step steel. Offering that starting in July.
