    Big fan of the Konixx pure-x for sure. I honestly didn’t think you could get a better wheel than the pure. Almost no competition in my opinion.

    I'll give my thoughts as somebody who hasn't been a very active member of this community in a few years, mostly since I've only had one season of hockey in all of high school; and putting aside the pandemic for a second, the amount of information on new products has decreased substantially even since I joined MSH. This site has also lived through a transformation of the internet - or it at least seems that way to me because I'm young enough to have never really experienced the internet before 2010 or so - where sleuthing on internet forums is replaced with brands wanting to get ahead of everything and limiting what makes its way out. Everyone's already stated that the amount of genuinely novel innovation in hockey has decreased substantially, which I agree with, and you can only really debate the merits of what curve to use so much (and I would know). This community is definitely still has a lot of knowledge and is really closely knit, there's just less new stuff to apply that knowledge to without disrespecting manufacturers. Just my take, I still enjoy visiting here and hopefully I'll finally be able to go to a MSH event at some point.

    Chirping is a hockey players default.... c'mon! A little good natured debate never hurt anyone.

    I will agree with this. I only bought gear from the LA Kings sales in the early 2000's the prices were less than retail and there was always a lot to go around. Now the sales are online auction style w prices for "collectors". A similar thing happened to the jersey hobby, it has changed dramatically too, when prices were much less than a car payment.

    The info on this site is almost always correct, and when it’s not I think it’s challenged in a generally polite way. Reddit is lousy with bad advice. There are fairly recent posts with things people suggesting you just need to wear skates more to break them in, and baking them will make them break down faster. Stuff that is just straight up false and out dated. I’ll take the quality of MSH over the quantity of other places.

    I also think a major factor is how “main stream” access to gear has become. PSH is a prime example of someone that absolutely pillaged the pro stock gear market, which in the early 2000’s was one of the best parts of this site, finding out when gear sales were asking someone to try to grab you something etc etc since everyone has pretty much the same access to gear available online now, it’s really made acquiring it less exciting, at least for me. still love this community though and have been lucky enough to demo gear in the past and give reviews. It’s still a great place.

    Keep in mind, a lot of the members here have known each other for a long time. They have gathered many times at MSH events and many have been to each other's weddings and the like. What you may see as negativity many times is actually a couple old friends having some fun or tossing out an old inside joke. Often times, there are good natured debates and disagreements which are just that. Remember, tone doesn't always translate well in the written word.

    Watch a vintage game from 20 years ago or more on NHL Network now and just look at all the brands that are gone. Each brand drove the others to innovate and punch through the envelope back then. Now ? Not so much. The access to Pro Stock is also another pipeline that has effected everyone in the chain.
