  1. depends on your level of pay obviously, but for mens league i just buy sticks for $75-100 a pop from HOAPA or allblackhockeysticks since i can get non-grip in the exact curve, flex, and kick point i want. still score plenty of goals
  2. just stole these off eBay for $280. they were never skated in. came with never sharpened LS3 steel
  3. I have and love those Combats except the palms wore out incredibly fast. gotta send em out for repalm
  4. $85 off sidelineswap. liners and loops were cut which I'm not thrilled about, but otherwise they're barely used and can't beat the price for pro stock franchises
  5. i had those back in the day. they were good skates
  6. im on my second hockeytron one and id definitely recommend it
  7. allblackhockeysticks still has drury/staal curve
  8. i also wear the Tron one and i have zero complaints after 5 years.
  9. yeah, this is crap. i did nothing but hockey from 12-16. 2 teams year round, hockey camps every summer etc and pretty much hit a wall development-wise. then i took the summer off when i was 16 and played in a summer soccer league instead. came back to my high school and travel teams in the fall and was suddenly the fastest kid on the ice no matter who i was playing with or against. was previously one of the slowest. completely changed my game and i went from 3rd pair D to 1st.
  10. i bought a 4'x8' sheet of 1/8" mdf thats typically used for temporary floor protection so the one side is smooth and the other is rough to stick to the floor. costs $8 at home depot and works well enough for what i need it for
  11. probably my Louisville "Messier" gloves in calgary colors. one day i'll send them out for a re-palm
  12. no floppy anything here. on top of my laces being extra long, i also skip the top hole. so when unlaced they're plenty loose for me to slip on and off easily and for the skates to air out properly
  13. ive never had rivet replacements, but i did drop my skates off for something last year i forget what and they cut my laces so i was like "wtf" and they gave me a free pair of replacement laces. so i won on that deal
  14. i've always bought longer laces than needed and knot the ends so ive never had an issue with tips since they only really get laced once
  15. i wear these. got them on clearance for $10 a few years ago and been really happy with them
  16. +1 for ABHS. been using them for around a year and they last a long time. plus i can actually get matte finish which is impossible to find these days
  17. plus a more aggressive forward pitch. i'm a Graf guy. i've skated in a few other skates the past few years but went right back to Graf.
  18. damn, i've broke a runner once in my entire 24 years playing hockey
  19. step steel is always worth the money. i've thrown them in 3 pairs of skates at this point
  20. its also funny that after Gretzky said that about wood sticks, you see him using composite sticks in every alumni game he's played in
  21. i dont tie my skates that tight either, but prefer wax laces just because they're so much more durable. any time i've used non-waxed they get sliced in game 1 or 2
  22. i hate grip sticks and buy matte, but i use a rather small amount of tape up top. i play with a guy that doesn't tape the top of his sticks, but he wore a giant hole through his palm super quickly
