What is dans build?

My custom eagles. CP94s with Hossa cuff. Yellow Mustang Palms

I have a pair of Bladetech afterburner steel. the blades do move in the edge holder as advertised. I also have a pair of DLC bladetech and there's less movement with that set.

Let’s look at the last few years: FT5 Pro (2022) – $330 FT6 Pro (2023) – $349.99 (+6.1%) FT7 Pro (2024) – $359.99 (+2.9%) FT8 Pro (2025) – $389.99 (+8.3%) That’s a total increase of 18.2% over 3 years, averaging about 6% per year — completely in line with normal tech product price cycles and inflation, not trade policy. Meanwhile, tariffs on imported hockey sticks or composite materials haven’t significantly changed since at least 2022. If tariffs were to blame, we’d see sudden price jumps, not this kind of predictable, annual increase. The real drivers? R&D and material upgrades (lighter sticks, better kick points) Branding and pro endorsement value Standard inflation and cost of business increases CCM (and Bauer) are using a value-based pricing model — they charge more because people are willing to pay it. It’s more like buying the new iPhone every year than it is about government tariffs.

Hey everyone, I recently upgraded to the new CCM Reload holder and I'm trying to use it with my existing XS steel. I was told the XS steel is compatible with the Reload holder, but I'm running into a problem: when I insert the steel, the rear pin won't fully engage, and I'm concerned the steel might not stay securely in place. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a modification or quick fix to make the XS steel fit properly in the Reload holder? I’d rather not have to replace all my steel if there’s a workaround. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Good news is the box has been found. It was delivered to the wrong suite.

The tracking says the box was delivered but the store said it never got there. If it was me and I still worked retail, I would check other stores in the plaza or the surrounding area

The issue is to that a Colin does work at the store

Hey all, Hoping someone here might have some advice or experience. I recently shipped a package to BSharp Ottawa via UPS Canada. According to tracking (1Z69775A6842519706), it was marked “delivered” and signed for by someone named Collin from the store. The issue is—BSharp says they didn’t sign for or receive anything. I’ve tried getting in touch with UPS, but so far no real help or answers. I'm starting to wonder if the box might have been delivered to the wrong location or signed for by someone unrelated. Has anyone dealt with something similar with UPS Canada or with BSharp Ottawa? Any tips on how to get this resolved—or get UPS to actually look into it? Is there anyone here from Ottawa that could assist?

The CCM XF Pro Shins will probably be good.

What’s the difference between Nexus pro stock pants vs. nexus lite pro stock pants ?

Doing another custom order if anyone wants in. $140, we are ordering 10

a size 8 would've been better. Your right foot is moving from the length being too long. can you return them? try a 8W or a 8 regular. Some say go with the bigger foot, some say go with the smaller foot. Personally, I try to go with the smaller foot. You can make a skate slightly bigger, but you can't make a skate smaller.

Hey everyone, looking for some input on holder sizing. I’m debating whether to stick with the stock 288 size or go up to 296. I know the standard 288 should be the most natural fit for a 10D skate, but I’ve had a few people suggest going up a size for added stability, glide, and a longer stride. On the other hand, I don’t want to lose too much agility, since I rely on quick movements and edge control. I’m also considering switching from Tuuk Edge to CCM XS holders, as I’ve heard they’re stiffer and provide a more responsive feel. Has anyone made the jump to a larger holder size, and if so, did you notice any significant benefits or drawbacks? Also, any thoughts on Tuuk Edge vs. CCM XS for overall performance? Would love to hear any experiences or recommendations before I commit! Thanks.

I'll revise what I said. Customer Service has been top notch. the skate issue is what I mean
