    CCM actually has a 90 day satisfaction guarantee on the 80K. If he is using Nexus skates currently then you could try the Ribcor skates or maybe wait for the stores Bauer booking orders to arrive since they will offer 3 FIT families for each model of skate. FIT3, which is most similar to a Nexus, might be a good option for him. The downside would be him having to wait until July/August for new skates. Also, if he has difficult feet to fit, why not just go custom? You don't seem overly concerned about the cost if you are looking at top of the line skates. May as well pay a little more and get the best fit possible. CCM guarantees you'll love these skates or your money back! Buy a pair of qualifying CCM ice skates, sharpen them the way you like and go play! If you are not completely satisfied with the skates, you can return them within 90 days from the date of purchase for a full refund. Applies to: CCM JetSpeed Skates (FT2, FT490, FT480, FT1, FT390, FT380, FT370, FT360, FT350, FT340) CCM RibCor Skates (80K, 78K, 76K, 74K, 70K, 68K, 66K, 64K) CCM Tacks Skates (AS1, 9090, 9080, 9070, 9060, 9050, 9040)

    I love this stuff. Its very thin so it provides good feel and zero wear on my glove palms. Its also very cheap. https://www.bladetape.com/product/griptape-black/

    This stick was a log and had zero puck feel but you could seriously rip some one-timer with it. I think it was cool they tried to incorporate new technology into the blade but it was an absolutely terrible product.

    I would love to know the weight of the Gen I Marsblade vs the new R1. Also, any significant differences in the chassis length or dimensions?

    Shark Tank 😉

    I have a lengthy list but these are ones at the top: First generation one-piece Super Tacks skates. I wanted to love them but they were too stiff and had terrible forward flexion. I felt like I was wearing ski boots. TRUE XC9 Gloves with the replaceable palm. The idea made sense but the implementation was horrible. Some of the worst gloves ever made. CCM FL500 helmet. My God, what a mess. I wanted something that would provide great protection but that thing was like wearing an insulated bowling ball on your head. So hot, heavy and uncomfortable. Super Tacks Gen I stick. Awesome stick but they had way too many issues with the blade durability. I never had one that lasted more than a few games.

    Meh. They make me sick. I am glad that the customs will allow for people to select a color for the skate.
  8. VegasHockey
    Disagree. These are pretty ugly:

    The Graf Supra 707 was my jam as a kid.

    Fold some toilet paper into squares and apply it to the areas where he is getting pain, you can also use cotton balls too. Wrap his foot with tape to hold the toilet paper/cotton balls in place. Bake the skate and while its warm have him put it on. Instead of normally sitting down while they cool have him stand up in a hockey stance to widen his forefoot. That should fix his issues.

    Many of the rinks are taking the ice down to the sand and then repairing things, doing new lines, and building it back up. I know both Sno-King rinks in WA are doing such.

    For the people of Scottsdale, Arizona. I heard today that many of the rinks are now planning to stay closed until end of April. I was really hoping for the estimated reopening date of April 6th but it seems that isn't going to happen. In Seattle, WA the rinks in Renton and Kirkland are hoping to be reopened by mid-April. I don't have any updates for Seattle and Everett.

    I sent them an email expressing interest in purchasing the facility myself and they said the LA Kings will be buying the facility, the deal is apparently already underway.
  14. VegasHockey
    Every rink near my homes in Seattle, WA and Scottsdale, AZ are closed. I am bored out of my mind.
  15. VegasHockey
    Yes, I like them both but the first generation are a little thinner and lighter.

    It wasn't in their catalog for this season. The good news is our Bauer rep emailed and said it will be available again. He said it was a mistake on their part. From Bauer: "Just a quick note, the Bauer SpeedPlate 2.0 was missing from the Bauerbiz repeat catalog, in error. It is in the catalog for 2020. It has been added back there today and is in stock for immediate shipment."

    Be careful to not apply too much heat or pressure as you might break the carbon on the heel. Honestly, I think you need to have the skates remade.
  18. VegasHockey
    It will be something similar to a Titanium Nitride coating. If you google around you can find the Bauer 2020 steel line up document.
  19. VegasHockey
    Not titanium.
  20. VegasHockey
    It's too bad that Bauer is likely going to discontinue them. The good news is there are some other third party company working on a heat thermoformable footbed for hockey that is lighter and better than the Bauer SP.

    I wish I could share info but I am not allowed. All I can say is there will be a huge shift in the retail industry coming soon.
  23. VegasHockey
    Easy fix. You could do it yourself or a local shop with some decent staff could do it.

    Randomly wondering. Who is using the new Shift holder? If you aren't using the Shift holder, what holder are you using? LS Edge? CCM XS? Previous version of the TRUE holder?

    Im spoiled. In AZ all I need to do is spray my stuff down with my special cleaning mixture and then hang it in the garage. In a few hours its nice and dry. Every couple of weeks I like to lay my stuff out by the pool to let it get some sun and to allow the UV to kill of bacteria as well. Cant leave it out too long in the summer though as the sun will wreck most anything you leave out for too long.
