Thanks. Will do.

Does anyone know a good place in the Philadelphia, PA area to get work done? @EBondo may you would know? I have a pair of old Graf Supra 705's that I don't use but still have a good amount of life left. One of the guys on one of my ice hockey men's league teams is in need of guys for the new season that starts next Thursday haha. Late notice but I'd like play again and even if I start the season late, I'd like to make use of skates that are still usable. Thanks MSHers.

Times like this I wish I worked at home haha. I wonder if with non-NHL/AHL players will it leave this tournament more competitive.

You know you're doing something right when your product makes it to the Show. I'll have one myself some time during the off-season.

Nothing else to add.

Volatile at best. I hope that people win more than they lose.

I guess it would be helpful to be at the right website haha. Not a terrible price especially if it holds up well over time.

Thanks for the insight!

Slight correction: the ProSharp HOME is $1,799.00. And depending on how many sharpenings you do on an annual basis, you may not reach that $500 amount for a while. To your point though, the ProSharp looks like a unit that hold up better over the long haul.

Could you please further elaborate on that? How long? How many sharpenings? How many additionally purchased grinding wheels? Any issues from a operational/maintenance standpoint? Thanks.

I hope we can get for SummerJam!

I didn't know these skates included infants? I'll let myself out...

Any word on if True is making a refreshed version of tapered blades? I don't have any additional TC4 blades and it seems like there aren't any new ones out there to be had.

Couldn't believe it when I saw the alerts at work. The dude was a beast here in Philly (and Toronto).

Pretty much where I'm at. With the change at Pure Hockey, I'm 18 sharpenings away from paying for inconsistent cuts from all local shops. To drop almost 1K bones is asking a lot from me but I'm on the ice way too much to be dealing with unsatisfactory work. I was spoiled in college. Had a kid who never screwed up. I graduated in 2010 from school on the other side of the state haha. Sparx seems more of reality now. Whether I like it or not.

Mine looked similar ha. I guess that's how True does their manufacturing? Maybe they will improve with their second go-around?

So good shafts but slipshod blades? Got it. I think I'll be done with this combo going forward.

Will do. I reached out via email at the beginning of this week. If I don't here back soon, I'll send the PM. Thanks. Thanks for the tip!

That's good to hear. While things haven't been smooth, I do like the way True sticks feel/work.

Ha I had no idea. The more you know, eh?

I'm interested as well. Right now, I have 3 A6.0 SBP shafts, one standard and other two tapered. The standard blade broke at the insert during my FIRST ice session (was coaching practice). This was over 2 months and I'm still waiting on True to fulfill the warranty due me ha. As for my tapered blades, I've only used them for one game (this past Tuesday). I had to switch sticks because the one became loose (I'm assuming/hoping its a lack of glue). It's been almost ten years since I've done the shaft+blade combo. Not exactly smoothing sailing early on but I want to give True a fair chance. Hopefully things will start to look better for me haha...

DP with the penalty shot goal last night...

Sounds like a goal scorer in the making...

I'm in total agreement with you. Unfortunately, these TV contracts have forced people to either pay for TV services or be without sports by "cutting the cord."
