  1. Here are a few tips for making sure that you get the proper fit with skates:

    1. Throw shoe size out the window. Totally different sizing. 

    2. Be prepared to try on every skate in the store. Rarely are the first pair the perfect pair. 

    3. Use a Brannock to get you to the ballpark of sizing. I prefer to use two just so weight is evenly distributed. 

    4. Wear the socks that he will skate in. 

    5. Have him put his foot as far forward in the boot to touch the toecap. Any more than a pinky width behind the heel is too much.

  2. Going in to a pure hockey on a Saturday at 2pm when they are not busy and asking to have some rivets replaced. They say that it will probably be two hours, so I leave the skates with them. Three hours later I return and they haven't been started and am told then that they won't be able to get to them until tomorrow. Counted at least five employees there and possibly three customers. Talked to the store manager and all he had were excuses about why 12 steel rivets should take two days to complete. Pure in cranberry has gone downhill.

  3. First and foremost, I would like to thank all of those that helped make this happen. This year it was nice to see all of the new faces. Its been a bit of a rough year, so I really didn't feel like being too social, but I had a great time as always.

    @Wolfpack_1986: Another great event. As always, your're the best roomie and I always enjoy going out with you.

    @JoeyJ0506: Thank you for being a great ambassador. Truly enjoyed all that we did. 

    @Louie: It was great meeting you.

    @dkmiller3356, @MLSman, @Goonsquad, @Haggerty, @stick9, @mojo122, @OmegaGoalie, @McDougalfaschnitzer: It was great seeing all of you.

    @Stewie: From the pictures, it looked like we were always on the ice together. Maybe that is why I felt like I didn't have any time or space.  :)

     

    And we all know who the original king of the flow is.
