It helps a little bit, but I think the biggest draw for them has been word of mouth, product performance, and value to be honest. Most people that I have talked with about their sticks have been completely clueless as to their heritage. They will pick one up in store and say "wow this feels great for the price", or ask to use my 6.0 for a bit on ice etc. I just picked one up to try in roller hockey (hoping to find a stick line that I like for both roller and ice) and off the bat some of the guys were impressed with the sticks feel and balance. When I told them I found it on sale for 70$ they were blown away (it's a 4.5).

Tried on the gloves at WF and the palms were neat. The glove didn't fit me well so it was hard to tell how much I'd like them overall, but the concept is definitely good. Will wait till I can try on some properly fitting gloves to give a fuller opinion.

I hear ya, warm winter has been a bummer

Another issue is that most parents aren't going to want to buy skates for their kid after their initial reaction to trying them on is "these are very tight" on a foot that is still growing.

went on a job interview a few months ago. Was asked why I was in the market, since I already worked for a good company, and said that my rotating shift hours made it difficult to take classes towards my masters, see my friends and family, and play hockey. "you play hockey?" come to find out, I've skated against the guy 4 or 5 times. at this point, the interview goes one of two ways. luckily for me, the puck bounced into the net on this one.

Really excited about the EK60 release, but cannot find any information about what curves it will be available in, other than retailers stocking the 88, 26, and 28 to preorder. two questions arise from this. 1. will other patterns be released? 2. will it be like the EK15 where we see the patterns released in blocks? mainly interested in the 09

Personally I don't care if your post on here or not, that's up to you and wether you get something out of the venting or not. You are on topic, I'm just saying you need to understand that chippa is always going to be chippa, etc, and you will get some negative feedback on things. You will get sarcasm a lot from me because I Am sarcastic, but it doesn't mean I think any less or more of anyone. This isn't a support group, so vent away, and if the chirping bothers you, just ignore it man. Maybe it really bothers or is important to you, that's fine, everyone is different. Understand the audience, you're more likely to get supportive comments by % in a group of friends than you are guys in the locker room, even if they may be friends. And like Dave said, yes it is kind of stupid that it's not a standard feature in a luxury auto, considering that I could have opted for it in my car, but I'm a cheap ass and just want reliability and safety in a car so I don't personally find it an important feature. Oh and if you want to point out any small stupid stuff I vent about, do so, and I will agree.

I think your misunderstanding the audience here. Yes it's a venting thread, but your venting very often to a group of hockey players. Chirping is in our nature, we all do it to each other when together and apart. As residents of countries primarily in the first world, most of us don't see venting about piddly shit as something you need to do fairly often. If you are searching for sympathy with your vents, perhaps a better outlet would be livejournal, Facebook, or some other form of social media rather than complaining to a bunch of hockey players.

Having steering wheel radio control was an option for me when I bought my Subaru in 08, but moving my fingers the three inches over to the control on the radio wasn't difficult

I did! they have one in Stowe in September, might see if any of the teams need a skater =)

Is that Hockey fights MS tournament annual? My parents live about an hour away from Burlington, and I would like to try to see if any of the teams need guys next year to skate in honor of my uncle who recently passed away from MS.

at least its not winterfest and you wont have to eat at Tonys, the good thing about new York is the food is so expensive you wont be able to overeat without getting a small loan.

congrats Jukka, unfortunately its almost time for you to gain the SJ 10 back though.

My top three are Bauer premium, swiftwick, and DryMax.

we all hope its for the last time too man. Hope all goes well.

you should've gotten a roof rack for your leg pads

oh, someone got a car, I thought it was a freeze frame from a Cialis commercial

Silly to think your getting wiper blades and oil changes "free". That kind of stuff is built into the price you pay for the automobile and at inflated dealer costs

it should just direct to livejournal.com

liking how this catalogue and their releases are shaping up for this year. Will definitely give the CX and the model under a good look when it releases.

Might I ask if this is in the hockey field?every industry is different and offers different challenges from a logistics standpoint. Sometimes a company will sell stock they don't have due to agreements with their suppliers to pull items, and then they find out later there are none at the supplier. A lot of this is on us as a consumer too.

yeah, I too am not huge on the Pros, but the QR1 I felt at WF were amazing. Hoping to find them in store again soon so I can make sure it wasn't just my hands getting tired of trying on tons of gloves, but if I like em as much as I remember, prob gonna get a pair customizeded!

RIP chico =(

not to mention the materials etc can be better at absorbing impact
