Yeah it’s all hearsay anyways. I have not tried a pair personally, although I’m glad yours are holding up. Plus, equipment works different for each player. What some guys swear by others curse haha.

Should mention I hate most wheels haha. So far I have disliked addictions, revisions of all types the millenniums are OK the pures and old rink rat hornets were my favorites out of what I have tried, but to each their own. No two hockey players will have the exact same gear preference. So go for what you like and what works.

I ref some former Pama pro guys, and from what I have heard, they perform great, but are a “tournament wheel” aka not durable. The only thing I have found to be a mix was the old pures, have not tried the new ones, however have heard great things about initial quality. I should mention I skate on a +2 weight 210 and started at ice, I like a rigid wheel, these seem to fit the bill. I had +1s, but kept cracking the front 4. Plus, I don’t really like my wheels to be overly flexible. That’s why I mentioned ice. The +2 kind of just grips and feels rigid which I like because an ice skate really doesn’t flex at all down low, too soft of wheels do and I struggle to skate on them.

Go for the pures while they are on sale!!!!! I am 205 skate on +2's and a borderline elite level, usually violent on wheels, with rotations on the pures I am fine for a few seasons which is unheard of for me. Go for a 0 or +1.

Man the industry is out of control. I broke 11 sticks last year playing 3 times a week! Granted I slash a lot haha. Well I call them aggressive stick checks, but what defenseman doesnt whack lol. I buy pro stocks, I legit manage to just get any stick out of warranty and blow it apart. I got lucky on my 1s. Bought it on sale, it exploded after two weeks, got a 2s pro sent to me. 2s pro is an awful stick btw, I love my 2n pro though. Although, again its a pro stock retail might be totally different. I just end up paying 150-180 every 40 days haha. EDIT- That reminds me BAUER start selling p28 max blade height retail lol!!!!!

I wish I would have known about these!!!!

Do any Michigan teams do this?
