    Maybe a running change in logo but thats about it for now. As for pricing if you come to Canada to buy you pay taxes and shipping. In the US its simply the price shipped. So mo advantage really buying in Canada with US dollars.

    I really doubt he is much removed from what he had when i worked with him I know he kept it in JR. 5/8ths

    Just curious where you are getting your information. St Loius and Nashville both use Blackstone Portables. NYI most of the players there are using FBV. I have to get Tavares a new wheel every time he comes home in the summer because he is always trying something new. Strome stays the same. Last summer I would say it was 60/40 ROH vs FBV in the dressing room. And with guys like Tavares and Storme on FBV it wasn't hard for other guys to ask to try it. You can google BTNL for some of the pics of the guys there. I do know Pappy on the leafs has everything in both the practice and main dressing room. He can do any cut on any machine. He is a guy for sure that is prepared for any request.

    Cole is on Step Steel. As for that Marlies team with Hosang and McDavid its funny about the story because it's so true. However in the final game of tge OHL cup McDavid was told he was falling because his blades were so low. I offered to switch them and match the profile. Josh said he should. But the captain said it would be bad luck. So he left them just sharpened. He fell on a break away to tie the game and his team lost in the finals. Since then he has always had fresh steel. Profiled and sharp.

    Actually Stick9 is correct. there are many guys have no clue of profile and or hollow. Some like to learn and some just say not to sharp or sharper. I worked with McDavid at the OHL cup and earlier on in that season and he was at 5/8ths. If he changed later in the OHL not sure?

    Kinda confused on this post. Its not in properly. It needs to be seated better. If you warm the holder with a hair dryer and slam it on rubber it will go in but then you need to tighten it more.
  11. oldtrainerguy28
    If you want the whole story be glad to tell yo but I wont smear the guy publicly like he did to me. Bitter yes and for a VERY valid reason.

    If you really want it not Sparx vs the Pros you may want to adjust some of your ad's. They are kind of off putting.

    Well I have no issue I will take orders. JR is right. The parent is US only. So it can be sold in Canada for now. If they manage to figure a way of getting the patent done in Canada it will be back to Jim at Tyden still use Jim for custom blades with names and numbers kids love it.
  17. oldtrainerguy28
    Bauer steel doea not sharpen the same at all. I am not going to try and explain what Tyden doea as i am not a metal person. But his steel is 100 times better to sharpen and holds an edge longer. I will let you metal experts sort out the numbers but quality wise Step breaks less and is easier to sharpen as a customer and sharpener to me that is all that matters.
  18. oldtrainerguy28
    No chance bauer uses Sandvik and if they do they must water it down somewhere. Itsharpens nothing like Step or Tyden.
  19. oldtrainerguy28

    Step is now doing them as well. But only in Canada. Not allowed to ship to the US.

    How long did it take him to Master The Art of sharpening? Pretty sure I am still learning after 30 years at it?
  24. oldtrainerguy28
    Just curious if anyone at Sparz has ever sharpened a skate and if so what is their experience in doing so? Or did they just build the machine to try and fill a niche gap?

    Sorry been swamped with training at the skating lab. And VH sales and sharpening. Well from what I can see and keep knowing the way Rob dies the fits they look about 2 mm to long.... however sometimes when measurements come through they are a smidge off. If he had used a toe plug for size of feet differences (because some are large) then they may have a slight bit extra to fit the holder requested. But to be honest I didn't see the drawings the measurements the old skates the present skates so it's really hard to say!
