Everything I saw looks like SMU Jofa branded Tacks stuff, kind of a bummer. If they'd just re-release the old stuff without the fancy new tech it would be amazing... give me some 9144 Pro or 7K elbow pads and some 7K shins and I'd be psyched.

Feels like they are missing out on printing-bags-of-money type product by not selling a 235 Helmet. But, to avoid lawsuits would it probably have to come with a bunch of giant warnings that say “not intended for use as a protective helmet. Display purposes only.” or something like that. Still, give the kids* what they want. *old men

IMO, the question is if you want it done right? Send them off to a proper professional to have them done right and chalk up the added cost as having learned a lesson

Yeah, The shins even have the CCM logo molded into the pad. SMH... Man some old 6070/ 7k shins and some 8066 elbow pads would be insane!

From what I know, P90T (Benn) and P90TM are slightly different, P90T has a higher lie.

I don't know about Warrior, but Bauer's P90TM is exactly the same as CCM's P90TM, I have both (different retail CCM sticks and Bauer Nexus League marked as P90TM), and they are identical. Sherwood's PP90MX is the same lie but has a slightly different curve on a toe.

As others have touched on already, my takeaway is this is nothing new. Jofa never really went away either. The name was retired, but its influence is everywhere. Almost everything on the market today is a direct descendent of Jofa or a clear rip off of it. The weird stuff Bauer has is different, and Sher-Wood has their own things or rip offs of Warrior's retired patterns. Jofa is still king. Always has been.

I've tried a bunch of different profiles while testing different blades and always came back to the Quad. Ellipse felt like it was far too rounded especially on the heel. I tried the Tydan specific profile as well (Stamkos one I can't remember the name) and quickly went back the Quad. Having the longer heel feels so much better for me.

I used to be skating on ellipse zero but changed to Quad Zero like two years ago. I find the transition from Ellipse to Quad was easy. The biggest difference to me was the increased glide and the stability in backwards skating. the ellipse is very good for someone with fast feet and fast direction changes while i would say a quad is better fore someone with longer strides.
