  1. Anyone needing 2xl shoulder pads, pro stock hockey has a stash of them. Hard to find so take advantage of them. https://www.prostockhockey.com/player-protective/shoulder-pads/size-xxl-sher-wood-5030-shoulder-pads/
  2. They are definitely thinner than the Howie's, never seen a Pro Guard one. The smaller base on the screw-on top is a dead giveaway compared to everyone else's bottles.
  3. It looks like A&R discontinued these style water bottles. The plastic is much thinner than standard water bottles which is easier on my carpal tunnel-laden wrists. Does anyone know anywhere that may still be sitting on these? Clear or white are fine. https://www.hockeymonkey.com/accessories/water-bottles/ar-hockey-accessories-water-bottle-tip-white.html While I'm at it, has anyone come across a pair of these Under Armour jock loose jock shorts for sale in size 3xl anywhere, by chance? It seems that I bought the only pair in existence.
  4. I see both sides of the argument but me living in a hockey desert, I think it's fantastic. I was fitted by a store manager at a major retailer for my True skates and they still had to remake the pair. I think cutting out the store (and people who may or may not know their ass from a whole in the ground) is great, especially for people like me who have all kinds of foot and and ankle issues that I wish I could have been fitted like this with True. I also live in a state with literally two places you can buy hockey gear. One, is very good for repairs and things like this, the one five minutes from my house literally doesn't have a single person working in there that has ever played hockey so I would never in a million years trust them to fit me for custom skates, even if they offered it (they screw up Sparx sharpenings). I had to plan and schedule my True fitting when I was several states away for work. For those of us that don't live in Minnesota or Ontario, this is a welcomed innovation.
  5. Looks like Tackla is having a sale in case anyone who belongs to the big & tall lifestyle needs some pants: https://www.tackla.com/shop/tackla-pro-9000-nhl-hb-z-hockey-pants-sr-jr-black-12556-black.html?___SID=U
  6. I'm sure it affect sales amongst youth players wanting to look like their favorite player but I doubt it has any affect on adult beer leaguers. But I did buy Callaway clubs since I'm a Phil Mickelson fan and also left-handed, though... 🙂
  7. CCM bought Step so I doubt that they can get their hands on it for a reasonable wholesale price.
  8. If anyone needs some big pants on the cheap, these popped up on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174362949407
  9. Has anyone seen what sizes and widths would be offered with the retail models? I haven't found that info anywhere.
  10. Our rink reopened yesterday, played last night. I forgot how much I missed it.
  11. I forgot about moving the tongue. That will help eliminate negative space on the top of the toes, if that is the issue. If you want the tips of your toes to touch the toe box, True usually will tape in some space pads. They should be able to ship you some if you need those. If not, I may still have mine in my box of hockey junk.
  12. Try rebaking them and then do the shrink wrap (or whatever the stuff is called) technique. The video on how to do it is buried in this thread somewhere. That should help with issues in the heel and ankle area; don't have any tips for the toe box as I had the opposite issue.
  13. Bay Area Hockey Repair can do it.
  14. I've made that suggestion before; that is @JR Boucicaut's call... 🙂
  15. If you have arch pain, I would recommend doing the cut out method on the red insole. I actually use two red insoles and the blue one. I cut out the arch on the bottom red insole and use an intact red insole and blue on top. I needed the extra cushion of a second red insole as I found the footbed too hard and uncomfortable without the second red insole. You can email their customer service and request additional insoles of both types, if desired.
