    Keep in mind I’m in goalie skates. My player skates are 5/8.

    It was noticeable but in a good way so it wasn't a big deal. If it was a problem I could have just got a 7/16 ring and tried that instead.
  3. IPv6Freely
    I don’t think it has anything to do with the Sparx but I did change from a 1/2 to a 3/8 ring a few months ago.

    Thankfully that disaster is going to be forgotten thanks to the new Ghostbusters movie coming out.

    Huh I’m surprised I never replied in that thread. Basically, the massive step up in comfort from normal skates to Mako was about equally matched by going from Mako to VH. That said if the Mako still existed I’d gladly go that route to save $500.

    I personally just don't care as long as it's comfortable. But I understand those who do.

    Oh man that makes me want to go one-piece!

    Completely agree with everything you said. Unlike off the shelf skates where you're pulling hard to try to wrap the facing around your foot, with VH it just wasn't necessary. Just enough to be snug. And I dumped waxed laces almost immediately.
  10. IPv6Freely
    Any pain I had when I got my VH was alleviated by not tying the skate so tight. There's no reason to tie tightly with that kind of foot wrap.
  11. IPv6Freely
    Indeed. I'd much rather have complete consistency.
  12. IPv6Freely
    Huh?
  13. IPv6Freely
    I always compare it to a good pair of hiking boots. A nice even pressure all around your entire foot.
  14. IPv6Freely
    Heh yep. Makes the “really expensive” travel case actually look like not that bad of a price.
  15. IPv6Freely
    I did. I went back to the stock insoles. Like you mentioned, it makes little sense to put in something with an artificial foot shape in a boot that was made for your foot.
  16. IPv6Freely
    For the base layer just go to target. You don’t need anything super performance wicking blah blah like you might as a player.
  17. IPv6Freely
    Man those are $280-ish. I think for the price difference I’d just go with the Sparx case. Not even so much for the machine, but so the accessories fit perfectly too.
  18. IPv6Freely
    Wait, what did you have on under your stripes before? Just a short sleeve t-shirt? Depending on the level (and therefore how much you're having to move) I'd probably be going with lighter or heavier base layer under-armor style shirts. Just make sure the logo isn't visible at your neck. Yes, Official's registration is totally a separate thing. Since you're (probably) too late to take a seminar (there may still be some running but most are in the fall), I think I'd wait for the next season to start up before paying.

    I do 2 or 4 passes before every game. Quite excessive obviously, but being a goalie I have a lot of nicks from the posts I have to try to get out. It IS great for me, now that you mention it! Wouldn't surprise me. That would be an interesting thing to document. Mine are 3/8 and like I said, on Step black steel.
  20. IPv6Freely
    My Step Blacksteel doesn’t burr at all. I just wipe with a towel and I’m done.
  21. IPv6Freely
    At the time I was still going to noicing for sharpening (would never use them now though) and I just had them do a “slight negative”, if I recall correctly. It helped a ton.
  22. IPv6Freely
    I felt the same in Makos. Way too much on my toes. I had them profiled and it was never a problem again. Maybe you’d be a good candidate for the MSH Prosharp project!
  23. IPv6Freely
    That's the foam that CCM uses on their shoulder pads, for example.

    I just watched a youtube video of Al's greatest insults. I was dying laughing. My wife was not.

    Cool so we get to hear the story just one more time.
