  1. Thats ridiculous. It never takes us longer than 10 days to get anything from CCM.
  2. Elite Division: Highest level of players are accepted: Players with professional (all levels and European), NCAA College D1/D3, Major Junior or Junior A experience recommended.
  3. Bauer fit for Re-Akt helmets: https://www.bauer.com/en-US/helmets-elite.html
  4. I have skated on 1" and at times even less aggressive hollows for a long time. When people come into the shop and ask for 3/8" I always think they are nuts.
  5. Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the new ones are good to go 🙂
  6. 3 assists. I played defense. Forwards need to clog up the neutral zone to prevent long stretch passes and east-west traffic. It would also be great if they would come back and help out on defense. I watched the LiveBarn video and I was stuck on at least 17 odd-man rushes by myself! Brutal!
  7. AS1 or FT2? I heard of many issues with the custom AS1 skates. Not any issues really with the FT2 though.
  8. That's the opposite. The grey clarino liner has the best moisture mangement. The fabric liner is a designed for grip, but it soaks up more moisture and drys slower too. Yes, I put a very thin layer over the entire surface of the flared rivet.
  9. I just got my graphite colored 710 this week and will be putting one on so I will let you know. So far, all of the kids we sold them to said they are tremendously better about handling fogging and even water/ice splashes than the Bauer units. I am surprised I have never read about people using rain-x on their visors. I used to and it worked perfectly.
  10. You may want to try skipping the one from the top and still lacing the top eyelet. Some guys I skate with have done this with their TRUE skates and feel it still gives good support but allows much more flexion. I tried it and it felt the same to me as usual but I lace my skates fairly loose at the top.
  11. I tried to go from TRUE to CCM customs and it wasn't terrible but it definitely took some time to adjust. Most significantly was the fact other skate boots having a neutral pitch or very minimal forward pitch from the factory and TRUE has a very noticeable forward pitch built into the boot and eyelet positions. As such, I eventually went back to TRUE after a while. While I felt faster with my FT2 customs on the top end, 6+ strides, but had dramatically less control and agility in the first 6 strides. Cannot comment on custom Bauers, I have not got them yet. I did try the Vapor 2X Pro retail skates and absolutely dislike them as they felt sloppy fitting, which is expected coming from custom skates to a retail model. Many others have said they are very nice though. As for rivets and such, I use a little drop of this on my rivets and such and they never rust or get loose. Plus it easily scrapes off if you need to service the skate/holder. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-Black-Liquid-Electrical-Tape-4-oz-LTB-400/100119178
  12. Not the whole 15% is saved from the steel. It's a combination of changes and advancements.
  13. So it seems there is a small screw that holder the plastic trigger mechanism to the holder. There is no spring like the LS Edge holder so the trigger is plastic tension. Anyway, that little screw, which doesn't really do anything from what I can tell, came out. Used some super glue and screwed it back in and it's good as new.
  14. Well. This happened today. https://photos.app.goo.gl/X8BrFB7sEhXWCcCR8 Steel is fine. Holder seems fine. Going to have to take it apart to see what specifically happened....
  15. Very interesting. I will look around for a pair. Need a medium.
