    Broken collarbones are so much a result of that perfect strike. The impact, however padded, gives the collarbone nowhere to go. I broke mine on a mild collision in men's league, just a product of the physics.

    Nope. I can tell you from experience. Like I said previously, I wore CCM Supras back in the day, and I took a check into the boards that fractured my collarbone. (clean, shoulder to shoulder check) The one thing I would say, the old plastic cap style pads seem to do better against direct strikes, like getting hit with a puck or an errant stick. I would assume lacerations too.

    To date....my pro-stock CCM 70k skates. Without question, the best thing I've ever done for my game.

    Sprungs all the way. You will not be disappointed. Very interested in those marsblade prototypes and hopefully Fizix will launch one of these days 😩

    I love my True skates so much that I'm saving up now for a backup set next year.

    Personally, I think the Sprungs are better for playing (lighter, lower and tighter turns), but the Marsblades are a good off ice training tool for ice players. Marsblade may be developing a version that is better suited to league play and you can find a picture of the prototype in this thread: There is some discussion on Marsblades vs. Sprungs in various threads like this one:

    Koho EP 5500 Elbow Pads. I keep trying on modern elbow pads, but I just can't bring myself to switch over from my beloved Koho's. As for sticks, my pro stock CCM Ultra Tacks has been the best stick I've ever used.

    Sorry, I just think it's funny that you refer to arguably the 2nd best defenceman all time as "another player".

    I sent them an email expressing interest in purchasing the facility myself and they said the LA Kings will be buying the facility, the deal is apparently already underway.

    Don't feel bad for me, I will figure out the next thing. I may end up back in a shop working on skates. I enjoy skate work and sharpening more than anything else so I may just semi-retire and sharpen. If you want to help show some support for the rink there is an online petition that was started yesterday. I am hopeful that the rink will reopen under a new owner. http://chng.it/Rk6V6sMQwT I miss you JR, I always wanted to do Summerfest here. Maybe someday.

    I've been playing since 1990 and I gotta say my current True Skates are the best piece of equipment I've ever owned, and worth every penny. Never had a skate fit this well, this comfortable, and this level of performance. 2nd place is probably the CCM Ultra Tacks stick.

    I am very doubtful there will be any spring or summer hockey, but would love to be wrong. I am hopeful leagues can safely resume in the fall. Late April doesn't seem realistic at all.

    Kids’ spring league sent out something about accelerating the season once things open back up. I cannot see this happening in time. People must think that in a week or two between one day and the next everything in the country is just going to open up and we instantaneously are going back to normal.... That sounds like a recipe for relapse to me.

    This is incorrect. Are you using the info@icestation.net email? While the Kings have expressed interest there is nothing close to a done deal at this point and the likelihood of the Kings doing anything this big is almost zero. There have been some very productive talks with others but all very preliminary. If you have real interest you can email us and we can arrange a call.
