  1. Go back to the LHS that ordered the gloves. They should have the original invoice from Eagle and the original purchase order with the specs on file at the LHS. That is how I do it at my shop. All it takes is a phone call once all that info is in hand.
  2. Yes, it was a Titanium cage.
  3. One of the guys in the shop was a freshman at Quinnipiac. He worked with the hockey team as an equipment guy and did some sharpenings, too. The other day I asked if he saw any bent cages. This picture is from the Colgate/Cornell road trip early in the season. The player wearing the helmet is a freshman with his head down in the neutral zone. The title is: Arny got run over by a Raider.
  4. Tools never ever leave the shop. And this week two beer league guys came in: " I only have 1 elbow pad. Can I borrow one?" " I forgot my helmet. Can you loan me one?" My stock answer: "Ask your team mate on the bench to lend you his." As the Pro Shop saying goes: Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
  5. It is then when I am fighting back a Sam Kinison moment.
  6. AKA "What size is he?" "He's 10 years old."
  7. Alarm was set for 5 AM this morning to open shop by 7:30 AM, cat yak wakes me at 4:30 AM instead. The guy with keys to close the shop at 8 PM tonight slices his finger on the cross grinder. He goes to the ER, cut ligaments, broken finger, stitches. I'm here until 8 PM + final close. Can't wait for more bullshit later. Cold beers when I get home. FTS.
  8. Sorry, I didn't have a good feeling about this once they got the new owner.
  9. To the last 2 guys: get second opinions.
  10. Interesting combination of Navy carbon and gold knit.
  11. I know a shop that did them for someone else, not named Olli Jokinen. The player has Jokinen's Pro Stock ONE95 and wanted the exaxt same skate. The shop got them made through Bauer Custom in St. Jerome.
  12. Custom TotalONE built on Olli Jokinen's pro specs. Supreme black felt tongue. Gripliner interior
  13. I notice that customers who are jerks stay true to themselves and act like jerks all year long. At this time of year there may be a few beginner kids with mom or dad that need everything for camp. They want to be fitted for everything so they can "see if the neighbor's equipment will fit first before buying everything. Then we'll come back to get what doesn't fit." I told him to bring in the gear and I could tell him what didn't fit. He did buy skates and a helmet combo on Tuesday with me fitting his kid, but he never came back. And I did fit the kid with every piece of gear so he knew what would fit. Not the first time, won't be the last..............
  14. Depends who is bidding. Might get only $20 or might get $75. Some of the Buy It Now prices on those old gloves are not realistic at all. That is why the same gloves have been sitting there for months on Buy It Now.
  15. I've got a bunch of the old 60s WWs, in different models similar to those. The 627s have all vanished.
  16. Still looking for my holy grail gloves: Winnwell 627 mitts, circa mid 60s. Check out any mid 60s Maple Leafs photo. That is the glove all those Leaf teams wore.
  17. A member here was asking me about some old Winnwell gloves. Thought I would share these. Winnwell 685 from mid 70s, dark green, KEANE printed on roll, repalmed by Stadium System with leather palms.
  18. MTO product has to be ordered when your LHS does his booking order. Sometimes there is limited inventory in MTO product available at different times in the year.
  19. Unless she is skating a lot between now and September, I really find it hard to sell skates at this time of year when the kids can no longer wear their skates for Spring hockey. I hope she skates all year round! :)
  20. That was confirmed last week by dupes. 4/15/10 is the confirmed launch date for TOs.
  21. These came into the shop for sharpening. Circa 1985 in excellent condition. The interior ankle pads were a problem with these skates. A lot of guys cut them.
  22. Now we know Ray Ferraro is on MSH. And stealing our stuff! :lol:
  23. those gloves look familiar! Let me know who is who.
