    The ref in hockey pants/socks is a bit odd... 

    We have a few "Dedicated" Refs over here in Doha, Qatar but to make the League work we have to have players Ref so sometimes they've played a game prior and just throw on a Ref Jersey. This was one of those cases 🙂

    When The Coyotes opened The Ice Den back in 1998 I was the first Manager of the Pro Shop there. It's a great area, best place I've ever lived short of my current home in Thailand. I think the area could use another Hockey shop, especially one that offers profiling and other skate services. We had Doc Fleger former Bruins Equipments Manager when we first opened, but I don't think the Ice Den has offered anything since in the way of custom work. I'd say for it! I think you'll like the area and the Hockey is pretty awesome there.

    A couple shots from our tournament in Vegas two weekends ago... the Knights practice facility is awesome.  We lost 2-1 in OT in the championship game but still had a great time.

    Team pic.  The majority of us have been playing together since we were 14 years old... we are all in our 40's now.  Team name is Hammer Team, in memory of our friend (last name was Hammer) who passed away in 2012 from cancer.  He loved Crown Royale, so their logo is represented in our logo 🙂

    Possibly the most awesome Unis I've seen. There was a team in this years Bangkok Tourney that wore the Old School Kings Jerseys but with The Crown, they were The Ramas which is Thai for King!. Really like these!

    When trying on new skates, said the new JetSpeeds didn’t feel great.  I’m not sure that there was a change from the original JS’s and the current model, but she felt there was and jumped to Supremes.  One bake & two powerskate sessions and she says they are perfect.

    I wasn’t there at the fitting, just her and mom.

    I dumped my Jet Speeds for Trues, best skate I've ever had. Great she has a good fit, brand doesn't really matter, I've worn everything. It's all about the fit!

    I always liked these, mostly just because of how wonky they are. I'm happy to see it back.

    I worked for The Coyotes when they wore this Jersey. Being a Kings Fan I really didn't understand the concept of the look until I moved to Scottsdale. It fits the area and was a really nice uni. I wish I still had my Coyote gloves and I had an awesome Sand Color Center Ice Practice Jersey and just about every other color. Glad to see these back.

    I've been in my True's 3 months now and personally I can't say enough good things about them. Here in Qatar we have an Expat League and back in November their Pro Rep came out and fitted those who wanted to take the plunge. Of the 17 guys who ordered 16 are very happy. One guy isn't. Since it is Qatar and we don't have a LHS here we have to order everything online. After skating for 3 months I'm ordering a second pair as a backup, I can't ever see putting my foot back into anything else. The other thing I realized looking back at all the years I've skated, even though I thought whatever I was wearing fit, in reality an off the shelf skate didn't fit somewhere and I realized I always settled on the best fit available off the shelf, and not the best fit in reality. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

    Anyone still running the stock footbeds and like them? I'm thinking of testing them out on the ice. I've only been using my superfeets so far. 

    Stock footbeds for me also. Just to see the difference I put my Superfeet in and went for a rip but put  the stock footbed with red liner back in. I've had no issue with my skates yet. They were perfect from the get go.

    Hi guys,

    does anyone know where I can get replacement tongues for the original VH skates? Mine are broken down beyond belief. Also, where can I get TRUE skates done if I don't have access to a shop to do the scan? I live in SE Asia.

    Thanks, Mark

    Mark, I work and play hockey in Qatar and one of our goalies is friends with the True Pro Rep. I'll speak with Mark (Goalie) and see if his friend has any plans to go to SE Asia. It might be worth it as he came here to Doha and 14 guys were scanned and ordered the skates. It's my understanding it can be done with tracing your foot and pictures. If where you're at has a League maybe more guys would be interested and it would be a good trip for him. I'll check for you. BTW when I'm not working in Qatar I live in Thailand.
