11th Annual MSH SummerJam
Happy to announce that we will be hosting the 11th Annual MSH SummerJam in Chicago, IL on Saturday July 27th! We will be skating on the Blackhawks' practice ice at MB Ice Arena. Since it's a new city for us, we decided to start really early on it. If interested in the event, please post here to express your interest.
MSH 15th Anniversary
As we are in our 15th year of existence (3/20 being the official date), we will be using this logo to commemorate it: It will also be featured on SummerJam and Winterfest jerseys on a patch, and we'll also have a t-shirt. Absolutely crazy that we've been around so long. Thanks goes to everyone who has helped us out along the way.

Bauer Fit 3 vs Nexus Fit
Has anyone had a chance to compare the new Bauer fit 3 versus a Nexus fit? Or does anyone know how different the fit 3 is versus the Nexus? I'm trying to figure out if the fit 3 has a narrower heel than the Nexus fit from previous. No around here has a fit 3 in my size. Also, how much less stiffer are the intermediate versions compared to their senior counter parts?
Attention ex Drury users!
Hi Guys, I am having a hard time finding right handed Drury's 80-85 flex and I am considering switching over to something more readily available. I have been using the Drury for years. Has anyone had any luck transitioning to another curve. I just bought a Trigger 2 p28 to try out. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks, Riggs
Skates that are too long
Is there anything wrong with using inline skates that are too long by 15-20 mm? Assume the forefoot width is perfect and a good heel lock. I’m looking at Reign hockey skates which fit somewhat narrow, and my feet are a bit wider than average. In the case of ice skates it’s a bad idea, as the blade centre will be too far forward. I once had oversized ice skates and kept falling backwards. The Reign frame can be moved forwards/backwards to some extent which might mitigate the balance offset
Your current equipment
I know we've had this type of post before but I wanted to get an idea of what we all use and what we like or dislike about it. Here's my list. Helmet: Itech HC85 pro - Light, well ventilated. Visor: Oakley straight small - Never gets in the way, never fogs. Shoulder pads: Graf 703 - Not really happy, looking to get smaller pads. Read my review. Elbow pads: Jofa 8025 - Light small, no bicep cuff. Gloves: TPS R2 - fits my hand perfectly, love the feel. Pants: Mission M1 - Very protective, double
The Venting Spot
Went to clear a post with personal insults and waxed the whole topic. Yep, I screwed the pooch on that one. I can't think of a better way to start the topic over again.
Looking for P28 type curve that's a bit more closed
I've been playing with the P28 recently and I love it a lot especially when in tight. Farther out, however, it's harder to be accurate with it (I know it comes from training, but my stick broke anyways). So I was wondering if there was a curve similar to the P28 in length and toe, but is not as open? I quite enjoy the pocket but it's way too open for far shots. I've used a P14 before but I found it too short and the toe was too square. Currently looking at the P46 but other sugg

The Prosharp Project
Moving between ProSharp Profiles
Hello, I’ve been relatively happy with my Quad 0.5 profile on my True skates, but I’m always game to experiment with a different profile on my 2nd set of runners. I was near a well known shop in Surrey, BC that has a prosharp, and I knew they perform the profile while you wait. I decided I’d like to try the Zuperior M based on the positive feedback on this forum. I spoke to the person at the profile station, and he had concerns that pitch adjustments from my existing profile would im
Detroit 1 on Marsblade - Deke
Profile: Detroit 1 Steel: Marsblade on Mako Skate Hollow: FBV 90/75 About me: In my 60's and have played since high school. Good skater playing 3 to 4 drop-ins per week during the the winter months only. Baseline: "Similar" to Quad Zero NOT from ProSharp. Did nothing particularly well and later found out there were some issues with the blend from profile to toe. I should also note that the Marsblade is a different animal and is best at techniques that power through the heel.

Good skater playing 3 to 4 drop-ins per week during the the winter months only. Baseline: CXN Steel with unknown "speed" Quad from well known shop. Short radius at toe, very long radius at the heel. Very (over) pitched. They were stable but not remarkably fast. Mobility was limited and acceleration was p

Bauer Nexus ADV
About Me 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 Nexus ADV to, I've used: Nike Bauer Vapor XXX Lite TPS Response R8 RBK 7K SicKick Easton Syne
Mr.Zogs Sex Wax Hockey Wax
PERFORMANCE: Excellent. Provides excellent grip on the stick blade to the puck. Keeps ice shavings off. It makes a difference. If I forget to put it on and I've played about two games, I can feel less grip on the puck, and feels like I have no tape on my stick. I play in senior men's league hockey so the ice shavings build up on the ice in the second to third periods. That all gets on the bottom edge of your blade as you skate around if you don't have stick wax. EASE OF USE: It is a puck-shaped
CCM Super Tacks as1 shin guards
Hi everyone, This is my first try for a product review, so if you have questions, or parts of the review are not clear, do not hesitate. I hope this can be of value for our members or to internet visitors that end up here. A little bit of context about the reviewer: I play 2 to 4 times a week in low level competitive leagues (during the main season, I play once a week during the summer), mainly as a D-man but also play as a forward. As for shin guards here is a list of the models
Warrior QREdge
Height - 5'11" Weight - 165 lbs Pant size - Senior Medium Level of play: University Hockey (2 Per Week, probably equivalent to Junior B) Used for: 6 Months Location: UK Fit -Previous user of Bauer Nexus (small) pants, but wanted something a little more form fitting. Would say that these fit smaller compared to a Nexus, about the same as a Vapor. These are much more contoured above the hips, sit properly on the hip, and follow the shape of the
Warrior Alpha QX3
About me: Age: 47 Height: 5'11” Weight: 190lbs Years playing: 43 Highest level of play: Jr.A (a very long time ago) Current level of play: Beer League Notes to Reader: I usually cut about one or two inches off my sticks, so they tend to play about 5-10 points higher than the rated flex. Due to the fact that I grew up with wood, and later aluminum sticks, my perception of stiffness is influenced by that history. I always tape the the full length of t
STX Surgeon RX3.1 Elbow Pads
So two years ago I was coming off an almost 10 tear spell where I didn’t play much, just coached. So once I started up again I found I needed to replace some gear. These were replacing an old pair of Vapor elbows that really wouldn’t stop sliding down. I am 6’3”, 180 lbs so on the thin side, was looking for an elbow that would be fairly low profile and would stay in place. I play mainly regular invite-only games so while the games have a good pace, you don’t have to worry about getting hacke
