    No, CCM as a whole changes the full stick line every other year and the top of the line stick every year.
  2. VegasHockey
    Only the top of the line stick is changing this year.

    The wheel is hitting too high. Lower it.

    I personally have never had any issues. I wear my shins under the tongue and don't pull my socks over the tendon.

    The carbon flap on the shin is more flexible and better placed. I also didn't like the carbon piece of the 2S Pro elbow pads and instead went with the 2S model.

    Should be a #9 copper rivet, like these: https://blackstonesport.com/en/product/9-copper-rivets Ace Hardware sells them. If you flare the rivet after hammering it it won't ever come lose again.

    I noticed a pair of skates Clayton Keller was wearing recently at Coyotes practice that had extra rivets added to the holders. I wish I would have snapped a picture of it.

    I think it's time for him, like Jagr, to hang up the skates and move on. He has not looked impressive at all this season.

    After you replace the rivet you should flare it, this will prevent it from ever coming out again.

    Pretty good read for those interested. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/11/11/my-year-of-concussions

    The ones Scott makes are better and cost less. Prices are in CAD. https://wholesaleskatesharpening.com/product-category/skate-hones/

    I am 190lbs and I always used an 85 flex stick until I recently dropped to 75 flex and then a 70 flex.I have found that at 70 flex the stick does almost all of the work for me when it comes to loading it for shooting and there is very little things I feel I must compromise with. Puck battles and faceoffs are a little bit tougher with a softer stick as is catching extremely hard passes. At first i also felt teh stick was less responsive but after I adjusted to a stiffer blade with the lower flex it felt great.

    Stitching through the D3O is actually easy, however to do it you need to remove the plastic kneecap first so you can sew through. I was actually surprised that I didnt have to cut anything or make space for the D3O to fit properly.

    Had a player who wanted to add some extra knee and shot protection to his 1X Lite shins as opposed to replacing them with a "beefier" option. Here is the completed project. He wanted to keep the good airflow and lightweight of the shins while adding extensive protection to the knee. In the shin we used a vented high density foam and cut it to still allow nice airflow to pass through. Overall, increased weight was 90 grams per shin pad.

    2S Pro is actually just as nice as the 1S but has better flexibility. I blocked a shot with the front of my shin by Shane Doan in our Monday night league and lived to talk about it. I am pretty sure if I was wearing my Warrior Alpha shins or Vapors my leg would have been blown apart.

    I like to steam my gloves to break them in. Video below. Most gloves are safe to toss in the oven for 2 minutes with the oven set around 200 degrees.

    I asked for the "updated" sheet multiple times and each time my request went to nowhere land....

    ProSharp makes a great product but their customer service honestly sucks in North America. They are spread too thin and definitely need more help.
  20. VegasHockey
    I own multiple sharpeners. ProSharp, Blademaster, and Sparx. I personally sharpen my skates on the ProSharp when at the shop and on SParx when I am home. No preference really better the, just whatever is easier to access. I am happy with the performance and finish of either option. I personally do not use the Blademaster on my own skates as I want to keep the profile as long as possible. We do have many customers that demand a big machine sharpening, and we are happy to do it for them, but we also try to educate them why the ProSharp and Sparx are a good option. I never say one is better than the other, as that's personal preference, but I will happily list the pros and cons of each.
  21. VegasHockey
    OMG. Yes it will. I love their machines but the fact it rotates the opposite way drives me nuts and I cannot sharpen on them.

    Pics of the Pasta vs P28 and TC4T.

    Are they no longer making these? What other options are there for cut proof/resistant hockey socks? I have heard of Gladiator but have never seen them in person.

    Thicker than the Yellow and Carbon, more squishy and foams hence the comfort specification.

    This is for those who have never heard of Hydrox.... https://foodcrumbles.com/hydrox-vs-oreo-cookies/
