The Moose's gloves are purple with purple embroidery on the cuff! Again, more props to Eagle for sorting through all our emails back and forth to get this right.

Including shipping via UPS from NJ to FLA, a tick under $200. I have to charge sales tax in NJ, it's 7%. I also am set up to do custom Warrior gloves but they are really pricey, IMO. I think the better buy is Eagle. I also received a second pair today of X70 gloves that I am letting the buyer share here once he receives them. His pair is pretty different, in terms of color, that is. BTW, each pair I show here is designed by the buyer. Give props to the guys who go through with their ideas. The PPFs I did for myself a few months ago are my #1 gloves right now. They are awesome. Props to Eagle, too!!

Funny you should ask about CP94 gloves. I had a request for CP94 gloves this week. Here is Eagle's answer: "With regards to these gloves that your customer is looking for, the model has actually been discontinued. Unfortunately, we will not even do this as a custom order. I apologize for the inconvenience. You can let him know that these gloves were actually a Sr. 14” model (by our guidelines). It was never offered in a 13”, and we do not have the patterns necessary to produce these." Eagle is referring to the CP94 gloves on EWH.com. They are advertised as 13", but I guess, they're not!

These are going to sn MSHer in Tampa. Eagle PPFi Tufftek,Royal with gold /white trim, mesh gussets.

A bit too PHEW for me..................

No problem, I'm old school. Throw in a busy Saturday in the shop selling skates and the cross grinder is a necessary evil for speed.

I'm guessing you don't cross grind brand new skates out of the box then?

When I finally got an ipod and found all the music I missed in the last billion years, I got into Tragically Hip- these guys drive me crazy, go Gordon Bare Naked Ladies- ok, I know it's another band that's been around for a long time but NYC FM radio sucks, as if Led Zeppelin was the world's only rock band and U2 is like, new. The Strokes Sam Roberts- Hard Road from listening to Pandora.com Lucinda Williams-woman has a voice like bourbon; smooth, mellow and dangerous Band of Horses- careful if you OD on this sound you'll lose sleep Kings of Leon- I want to meet their parents Modest Mouse- whether they sing or scream, it's usually pretty good I'll take note of some of the bands mentioned here and check them out. Thanks

Ever have the ankles punched out or re-bake the boot?

Buy the XXXX at that price. Take the extra cash and buy another OPS. Going from XXV to XXXX will be a smooth smart transition. You could always drop the extra dough on the X:60 but best bang for your buck is XXXX on sale price.

There was never any reason to sugar coat that glove when the rep showed it to me. It was a piece of junk the minute I saw it. If Easton couldn't make OPS they would have absolutely nothing going for them in the hockey business. Their weaknesses in protective equipment are getting worse every season. And if RBK/CCM wasn't such poor competition for #2 in the skate business, Easton skates would have no representation in the marketplace either.

JR is right. X:60 custom was available for production on 4/1, could not be shipped until 4/15. However, only shops that carry X:60 can custom order the X:60. I had this info confirmed two weeks ago when submitting a few custom XXXX orders.

Glad to hear positive feedback on early reviews of the liner. The dual materials used at the top for wear combined with the Hydra Max liner are a great combination. The more durable liner at the top is such a no-brainer for interior skate construction. The idea actually came from one of the guys in the St. Jerome skate testing team.

I checked the UPS tracking number. I knew you would have them Wednesday when you got home. I am really glad you like the gloves. They look great!

I just did these for a member here. Good old Hartford Whalers in Tuff-Tek PPF + with mesh gussets. I talked to Eagle last week. The website is being re-designed since there were items on the old website that were no longer available. They are still taking custom orders for gloves.

Once Bauer bought Itech, they made a decision not to go forward with the X:60 jock. The catalog was already in production so the X:60 jock was not removed. I just checked my booking order worksheet. The X:60 jock was not on the worksheet. I was not able to order it. If any dealers were able to get it, let us know. Thanks.

I found this old pic from 1991. The Bear Mountain Bears of Highland Falls were playing the Rangers Alumni at USMA, West Point. Ron Greschner has just given Pierre Larouche the home run pass from the goal line. That would be me, #2, stuck in the mud at the blueline! Of course, Larouche buried the biscuit.

The gloves took about 5-6 weeks for production. There are not as many color choices with Tuff Tek so it can be harder to design. I got the idea to add the silver/grey from the Buffalo Sabres gloves when they wore black/red/white/grey during the Hasek years.

I bought the Rebels jersey from their team store by phone. It is a game worn jersey of some third line guy. At the time, Brent Sutter was running the team. I talked to his wife when I ordered the jersey! That's a family business for ya!

I just got these from Eagle. I tried to make them go with the Red Deer Rebels jersey I have. I used Phoenix red in Tuff Tek.

Team orders only. No one-offs.

^^^^^^^At least someone is paying attention^^^^^^^

April 10 Vapor X:60, Vapor X;50, Vapor X:40, all Supreme and all Flexlite June 15 Vapor X:30, Vapor X:20, Vapor X:15, Vapor X:05

FLDs will have the Bauer 4 roll on their April booking delivery.

hopefully this wasn't in response to my question, but regardless a very insideful & meaningful comment - thank you for your valuable contribution! B) As JR said, my post wasn't a reply to yours. The ONE95 girdle is much lighter than the XXXX Core Pad. It is just a matter of the level of protection you desire to help you decide which girdle you want to get. The XXXX Core Pad is battle ready while the ONE95 girdle has been a standard in protection since it's first inception as the Cooperall girdle. :)
