    As of a few hours ago Wick is now with Warrior. I am thinking it did not sit well about the VH skates and having them dressed like Bauer's. And yes she was the only female Bauer athlete. butttttt no longer. https://twitter.com/wick_22/status/640275620853710848

    Were did the picture go?? http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/hayley-wickenheiser-of-team-canada-skates-up-the-ice-news-photo/461681539 here is a great one in action!

    I kinda like that the holders are mounted straight on both skates, and they are not warped. As for a little extra glue here and there?? I am sure if you got past the flash on some of the other skates you could find flaws as well. It probably has to do with the skate not looking as flashy! I have fit 22 people this past month 7 NHL players every NHL guy has said the same as people here. There not much to look at but holy crap are they comfortable. I am betting there will be close to 80 guys wearing them full time this season.

    I am offering an in-house rebate on old VH's when buying a new pair of VH's. (when purchased originally through the Toronto Fit Center's)It's a personal thing and has nothing to do with VH. However they applauded the idea as there is little wear on the smaller pairs. Of course for people that have large discrepancies in there feet it will be a little bit of an issue. Hopefully that wont be to many. So next spring I will have about 20 pairs of used VH JR skates for sale !!

    It would not be needed for most as the ramp angle is set to be the most effective. That being said I do have one VH client that has them and really likes them!

    So many NHL guys trying them this summer could be a huge difference in the fall on the ice! I have still not figured out how to load the pictures on here but will one day!

    Oh I am well versed in high performance women's hockey and how picky they can be...LOL That is an interesting idea. I wonder if that would change testing parameters? And what if the jerseys were more sleek as well as it usually an elbow coming up or a shoulder hitting....Hummmmm interesting concept.

    Now this is just me, but seems like the measurement around the ankle may have been slightly generous and therefore has more of a wrap then needed. Not saying for sure but kind of sounds a bit like that. Also I have found if you have a wide foot you can not let the blades get as low as maybe you would in a stock wide skate. because they are made to your actual foot some are a little to wide in the forefront and allow the side to bottom out. I have put in lifts for guys with that issue. That and change the blade maybe a tad sooner than normal.
  10. oldtrainerguy28
    What do they look like on your foot?
  11. oldtrainerguy28
    internally or externally?? And in regards to ponytails. Have them braid it or have the elastic 1 inch to 2 inches below the base of the helmet it will help with the fit better.
  12. oldtrainerguy28
    This is good. When doing more fittings (Had no issues yet) I will make sure to send a picture of the heel to hopefully enable the guys to make them Narrow enough were need be! Been crazy busy with fittings!!!
  13. oldtrainerguy28
    Excellent point.

    Neither CSA nor VA or any of the helmet manufacturers can answer the question so this question has zero to do with it. Its a fact that no helmet will ever reduce rotational impact. I think its time all of the people mentioned print that out so everyone can see it and not say they are working on something when they clearly cant prevent it. As for an ax to grind ....simply stating facts about how the testing was done and it is not really related to how hockey is played according to all the ones that have looked at the research that are in the hockey industry. If it be helmet makers CSA HECC Hockey USA. So ax to grind NO.....forwarding creditable information from people in the know with far more medical information than myself YES. While Duma has the right idea working with HECC CSA and other people like HOCKEY USA and HOCKEY CANADA I think would have made his testing pass the "smell test" ......

    I am curious how a helmet will stop or reduce rotational impact. The largest portion of hockey concussions.
  16. oldtrainerguy28
    I can post one in 3 weeks??? I deleted the one I had on my phone. I have a pair at the shop.
  17. oldtrainerguy28
    New Toe Cap on size 7 to 10 .....more coming.....
  18. oldtrainerguy28
    And that is very correct. Back when Mr Ericsonn was here as I have mentioned before Jimmy he said that exact thing that the 71226 would be more of a Euro thing as NA has a smaller rinks and more of a start and stop game in comparison.
  19. oldtrainerguy28
    But Jimmy the thing I don't like about the post that was quoted is that the Detroit players do not use that profile as the mainstay. So it is kind of misleading.
  20. oldtrainerguy28
    Most likely would have come out about the same then I would think?
  21. oldtrainerguy28
    Excellent point!
  22. oldtrainerguy28
    Excellent points. My understanding from the creator is that you buy a good fitting helmet and us this as added protection for impact? Wondering with the material used and the gel pads if it could slow rotational impact by absorbing? Also spoke to the Warrior rep today. I find it funny for a company that has the "Safest Helmet" that they were not contacted (according to Warrior) at all about the study and how they managed to get the highest rated helmet? Only the other companies that poorly rated helmets were talked to?
  23. oldtrainerguy28
    Www.nogginsport.com Thoughts? Would this change the helmet you buy? Would this have impacted the study data?
  24. oldtrainerguy28
    So I buy this helmet and I won't get a concussion now? Awesome!
  25. oldtrainerguy28
    SK20 I had that one with the plastic mouth guard piece and no cage or visor!! Awesome helmet!
