My first thought was the KOHO Core Beam

Lame. So, so lame. "bUt AfTeR a WhIlE, yOu WoN't EvEn NoTiCe ThEm DuRr..." Yes, because marketing ghouls for wealthy corporations slap ads all over the place because you WON'T notice them. Right. Gotcha.

Thanks to PBH, I got a new set of wheels dialed in and ready to test out. Was so impressed with the TF9s for roller that I decided to pick up a second pair for ice

It depends how the "custom" boot is made. If it's made inside out then yes it should fit. But if it's a stock boot thats high pressure moulded onto your foot last, there still may be issues esp where there's connection points where toe cap meets quarter package etc. Lots of variables.

It looks really solid in person. They did a great job with that design compared to the Code V.

I witnessed three of our younger players on a summer team I coach attempt the Michigan during games this summer. The skill some of them have and integrate into the game is wonderful.

15 years ago, we were all bemoaning how kids spent too much time practice moves like this and super fancy video game level stick handling moves, but weren’t focusing on “practical” skills. Now the NHL is the most creative and fun it’s ever been, and dudes are doing wild stuff at full speeds in game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got an EZGoal last summer. Left it outside uncovered in Boston over the winter, and it’s fine. I fully intended to put a tarp over it over the winter. But, life. My one dog occasionally uses the back of it like a hammock, and it’s stood up to that as well If you get one, leave the netting around the top and sides a little loose. Having play allows it to absorb energy so the netting doesn’t rip and doesn’t bounce your pucks far away. (Or just hit the net, but that doesn’t work for me…..)

In adult league, I’m happy as long as the opposing center isn’t turned 90 degrees and one of their wings isn’t closer to the face off dot than the ref. That feels like a low bar, but still very, very hard to meet.

I don't charge for sharpening other than first time sharpening for brand new skates that customers buy from stores other than mine. My only ask is a customer buys an item to get the free sharpening. Could be a roll of tape, a stick handling ball, laces, anything.
