CCM Tacks XF Pro Skates
So, who’s got the inside scoop on these things? Any new, ground breaking specs or is it just a new paint job on the AS-V’s ??? @VegasHockey I’m looking at you pal 🙂
10' profile
I've tried almost every ProSharp profile there is and recently skated on out-of-the-box Bauer Fly-X. Best skate I've ever had. Used to be a big believer in these other profiles but not anymore. I feel stupid for having skated on the quads the last several years.
Skatescribe profile, anyone skating on?
Just got some new steel for trues JRZ dlc, with skatescribe gold profile. Anxious to try them out tomorrow. anyone skating on a skatescribe profile, if so which and what are your thoughts or comparisons to previous profile. thanks
2024-2025 Gear Sightings
Figured this would be timely with prospect camps starting up. New Utah team wearing the new Fanatics style practice jerseys and new team colored Jetspeed gloves
New True Catalyst Skates
I know they're not top of the line but I noticed that Sportchek now has the True Catalyst 5 skates on their website: https://www.sportchek.ca/categories/shop-by-sport/hockey/hockey-skates/senior-hockey-skates/product/true-catalyst-5-senior-hockey-skates-333817451.html# I haven't seen them on any of the other company's websites yet.
XL steel
Anyone know where I can buy this steel? I see it very sparingly on the internet. Looking for size 254 edge steel. Curious if this could offset putting a larger holder on my skates

Trouble with quad 0 profile
Hey I’m just looking for advice on the quad zero profile. I was using ccm rbz size 8 skates with 272 runners for the last 9 years and I looked and realized that they have a banana blade with a lot of heel shaved off. I needed new skates so got supreme m5 pro skates (size 8.5 272 runners) I decided to get them profiled to a quad zero with a 5/8 hollow and I find that I get good glide and straight line speed and even turning is nice with them but when I start to cross over I feel very s
Adjusting pivot point back to neutral
I've seen several posts regarding adjusting the pivot point on the AS2001 to compensate for pitched profiles if refreshing a profile. What happens if you want to adjust the pivot point back to neutral? Would there not also need to be an adjustment that needs to be made if returning the runner to a neutral pivot point?
Liking Quad 2 but looking for some tweaks
So some of you maybe saw my recent skate fitment journey. Had my new Vapor skates profiled with quad 2, 11/16 roh, just like my previous Ribcors overall I like this profile but I’d like maybe a little more grip/bite/explosion and more agility (had difficulties to initiate quick turns tonight). i don’t mind losing some glide since I find quad 2 has plenty of it. Quad 2 feel light and smooth but id like maybe a tiny more heavy feeling. should I stay with quad 2 and focus more on s
Bauer’s Factory Profile
I read the Bauer’s factory profile is set at what I am assuming is a Quad Zero due to the radio (6ft-9ft-11ft-13ft) out of the box. Pro Sharp lists this as a size 7-8 skate. Does this mean that if one has a junior size 1-2, the Bauer factory profile would be a Quad 3XS (4ft-5ft-7ft-10ft)? I have new Step Steel Blacksteel and want to possibly profile them with a Quad 3XS for my squirt. I’d like him to skate in the profile prior and if the Bauer factory profile matches Pro Sharp’s Quad profiling,
Quad II - Peter Pin
Profile #3 - Quad II (7-10-13-16) on CCM Ribcore Titanium 9 1/2 size Steel - stock XS1 blade 280mm Hollow - 11/16'' About Me - I started playing/skating when I was 5 then played at good level until 13 in novice/minor leagues. Then stopped and played only maybe 8-10 times/winter at local public outdoor hockey rink just for fun until mid 30s.Then restarted in beer league at 35. Now in my late 30s. I'm a forward. I'd say a good skater and a tad faster then average skaters. Almos

Bauer Proto-R
Height: 5’10” Weight: 150 lbs Shoots: Left I've been playing hockey since I was 7 with roller and started ice when I was 11. I've played as high as midget AAA but was a career AA player at best, along with high school varsity hockey in New Jersey. I've used many sticks throughout my time on the ice. To give you an idea of what I have to compare the Proto-R to, I've used: Nike Bauer Vapor XXX Lite TPS Response R8 RBK 7K SicKick Easton Synergy SL Ea

CCM XF Pro Shin Guard
Height - 6'3" Weight - 240 lbs Pad size - 15 inch Level of play: B/C Level Location: Massachusetts Fit - 10/10 I was looking for a pad that wasn’t as bulky as the old reeboks and jofa pads.

I was looking for a pad that was in between both those fit profiles and the xf pro fit that criteria for me My leg fits properly in the shin channel and
CCM SuperTacks AS-V Pro Total Custom Skates
I have worn a bunch of True skates in the past, and these ones have been my favourite so far and by far the best for durability. Very impressed with these once I dialed in the fit.

Bauer Re-Akt 200
I've been wearing this helmet for the past year and have found it to be very comfortable once adjusted.i'm getting older and I wanted something that offered protection. I just happened to be run into by a player on another team who is a good 75lbs larger then me. Needless to say we both went down and I hit the back of my head pretty hard. I basically ended up with a sore neck; never felt anything to the back of my head, never lost consciousness or headache, virtually no signs of concussion. I fe
