Millionth post on MSH!
Over the past few months, we had been watching the post count to determine when the millionth post would be posted on MSH. After running queries against the server (we really don't delete posts; we will hide from view) and so we wanted to make sure that the post we would find would be the one that actually changed the post count to 1,000,000. That post was this one: https://modsquadhockey.com/forums/topic/72472-girdle-shell-alterations/?do=findComment&comment=1125215 What's even bet

Ft6 pro blade issues
Any players/retailers seeing broken blades on Ft6 pro’s? Had two break in almost identical places on blade (p29). One inside warranty, the other was the warranty replacement (which apparently has no warranty). Stick isn’t abused, and it’s not used for slap shots / one timers heavily. Have gone years and many sticks without issues like this. I’m hesitant to point fingers, because of so many variables with how sticks get used - but something doesn’t seem right with the build of the stick

Has anyone in euro tried the new Tackla Breeze X1 ProZone Hockey Pants? I contacted Tackla and they don't sell them in north america. I can order them from Finland though. Tackla Breeze X1 ProZone Hockey Pants Sr - Tackla
Neck protection
Terrible tragedy concerning Adam Johnson. I've never worn any sort of neck protection in all my years of playing, but I recently have had my kids wear them (before the unfortunate incident), and thankful that I did. Now I'm considering wearing one. Why take a chance, even though I'll be the first to tell anyone that these type of injuries are very rare. For those who use them, which do you find most comfortable? I'm assuming the integrated shirts would be? I could care less abo

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.

The Prosharp Project
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,

I'd say a good skater and a tad faster then average skaters. Almos

Quad .5 losing grip
Hi there my son says he feels like he is losing grip on a Quad .5 profile. He is an elite U15 player has been skating on a 10/11' radius forever with a 5/8ths hollow. Thought we'd try the .5 but can't seem to get it dailed in. Went to a 9/16ths hollow and that seemed fine for a few skates, but after the second sharpen at 9/16th he said it felt like there was less grip again. Any thoughts? He is on a Step Blacksteel runner if that matters, has been on this runner before with not complaints
Table(s) of All MSH ProSharp Reviews
Hey Everyone! I organized all the reviews into a table with the links to each person's post. This way, you can easily see how they transitioned through each profile and read through the review chronologically. It was a little difficult to organize because people were usually getting back several runners in batches, but I tried my best. I wanted to share a direct link to the spreadsheet, but wasn't sure how to do that anonymously, so the data has just been pasted in several posts below. I ha

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
Bauer Re-Akt 200
Hey, I recognize that this post was 4.5 yrs ago, but I am in the same situation you were in then. Got a ReAkt 200 large online, like the helmet, but am near the bottom of the adjustment range and have the same reservations you did: moves a bit too much and bit too much room on the sides. I'm tempted by your experience to try a medium as my head is a touch more oval than round, but don't want to get on a 'no order' list by getting and sending back yet more stuff (this has been a frustrati
Bauer 2X Pro
The month of January was a particularly busy month on the ice. I'm assistant coaching our 14U blue (house) team, joint coaching our 14U white (house select) team, occasionally working with another local travel 12U team, and getting calls to skate in pickup slots when numbers are low (basically on-call because I live across the street from the rink - it's as close to a heaven on earth situation). It's been about a 4 day a week ice time month with my 2X Pros. So far, lots of positive things t
Rezztek
I've been using Rezztek for about a month now. That includes 8ish hours of beer league/private scrimmage time, and 5ish hours of 3v3 outdoor hockey. I'll upload the pictures - some obvious scuffing, fraying, and battle scars, but the feel is the same, and I'm enjoying it. I'll probably remove what's there and replace it with new strips very soon. I went from full heel-to-around-the-toe TJ + the dankest wax I could find to this, and it was an adjustment of about 2-3 shifts + warmups.

Funny... I wax my stick with Zoggs Sex Wax warm water/Tropical surf board wax. I imagine that it's the same stuff! LOL. Didn't realize that they market stuff to the hockey crowd now.
