They holders are very similar, TUUK Edge vs CCM XS, the biggest difference is in the options for steel.
-
The holder holes line up fine. I would get the XS holder. The older generation of holder will slowly be phased out.
-
I was told the same thing. I wonder though if the sizing becomes off once you hit a certain length, for example, anything over a size 5.0 the sizing becomes more skewed than in an intermediate/junior skate? I know many individuals who bought skates for their younger kids, sizes ranging between 3.5-5.0, and they said the skates fit perfectly without any issues. It could be kids of that age don't really know how a skate should fit or maybe they struggle with conveying a sizing issue if there is one. I just wonder if the issue is more with certain specific sizes more than others. Many individuals who have had sizing issues are in senior skates with sizes ranging between 6.0-9.0, myself included.

Maybe they are paying him? Looks like he may be using Flare steel too. They don't look too wide. I think it's the angle. 😉

USPS likes to lose international packages
VegasHockey replied to iceman8310's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Always file a claim after 7 days if the package missing its delivery date. This triggers them to look for the item to deliver it and many times, as mentioned, you will get credited back for the shipping or sometimes even the item value. -
Ugliest stick ever but at least you can quickly tell what brand it is from even a mile away. I wonder if it has sold well at the retail level? I also think the new AS3 Pro stick is ugly but the younger kids love the look. I'm personally a minimal graphic kinda guy. All these stupid graphics do is add weight and then look ugly when the stick gets all banged up.

I think I've only seen him use Bauer Vapors.

9/10 double

Peterson using the Ribcor

Awesome. Seems to have worked out well then 🙂
-
I would have stuck with the 5.5 unless they were so small they crushed his feet. Foams will break in and the 5.5 would have fit perfectly once they broke in a little bit. I guess the good thing about a size 6 is if his feet grow at all he will have a little bit of space.
-
I put 272 on my 6.5 TF9. They fit perfectly. From the factory they had 254.
-
Yeah, too bad the retail model will be a bit more flashy 😞
-
It's not just durability. I just prefer grey or black palms as they dont get dirty or dingy.
-
The 2S Pro glove is nice but the palm wears too quickly. For a $200 USD glove, I expect the materials to be more durable.

I mailed skates from the US to Finland over 8 weeks ago and they are still in transit. Shipping times are insane right now! -

Sparx Skate Sharpener - At home sharpener
VegasHockey replied to tamtamg's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
It's usually easier and more cost-efficient to bring new steel to a pro shop to have them cross grind the steel even and put on a fresh hollow. -
I think it was all downhill from the APX and MX3 for Bauer, CL series for CCM, and QR1 for Warrior. While the newer gloves might be lighter (arguably) they don feel the same, aren't as durable and aren't worth the ridiculous cost.

StringKing Composite Pro Prototype sticks?
VegasHockey replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
He def knows what he is doing. I think his sticks play very well. https://www.instagram.com/prostocksticks/?hl=en https://prostockhockeysticks.com/ -
If you didn't like them before it's likely you still won like them now. The Fit system has allowed more people to fit into Supreme or Vapor, offering them more choice, but if you didn't like them before why would you think you would like them now? What didn't you like? The fit? The feel?

Ellipse Profiles – The next revolution in skate profiling?
VegasHockey replied to VegasHockey's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I can confirm after another 10+ hours of ice time that I prefer the Ellipse 0 over the Ellipse 1. So my ranking would change to the following: 1: Ellipse 0 2: Ellipse 1 3: Quad 2 4: Quad 0 5: Quad 1 6: Ellipse 2 Note, I am skating on TRUE skates roughly size 7.25 with SHIFT holders sized 272. All of the steel has been profiled with 10mm of pitch.
