STEP BLACKSTEEL for Bauer LS EDGE (where can I get it?)
stick9 replied to Jordan_Rex's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
They're better off having Step available at a reasonable upcharge at the point of sale. You get most of the sales without the added cost and BS. But more importantly, that premium brand stays premium. No one is questioning whether or not CCM is making crap steel and marking it "STEP" cuz they can. -
When the rink reopens are you going to skate immediately?
stick9 replied to DarkStar50's topic in General Hockey Discussions
Yeah, I heard there was amendment to Bakers phased reopening that takes affect on the 17th. We'll see. Full list of guidelines was posted on the FMC site. https://fmcicesports.com/uncategorized/updated-massachusetts-guidelines-ice-hockey-return-to-play/ -
When the rink reopens are you going to skate immediately?
stick9 replied to DarkStar50's topic in General Hockey Discussions
Beer league here in MA is still a no go. My league has even asked if teams want to play in NH. Most state run rinks are still closed. I've been skating with a small private group the last few weeks. It's pretty fantastic. I was a little leery on playing mens league. Least with pickup I know each and every person who shows up and have so for years. I'm more comfortable with that than playing games against a bunch of random people each week. -
No, EE is wider all around so heel and ankle will be bigger.
-
Depends on the player and the injury. As someone who still has plates and screws in their ankle, I think it all comes down to fit. If you aren't in the right skate you're feet are going to bother you regardless. Having an I'll fitting skate just compounds the issue. I think the same can be said for injury prevention.

STEP BLACKSTEEL for Bauer LS EDGE (where can I get it?)
stick9 replied to Jordan_Rex's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Or buy some LS5... 😉 -
I've been eyeing some HG41CLCH gloves. I haven't used a CCM mitt since before Nike owned Bauer so I'm hesitant on buying. Curious about the fit, protection and durability? How does this model compare to say a Vapor 1X Pro or Warrior Covert?
-
Yeah, I think the $699 price point will bring in a lot of people who were on the fence.

Looking for undershirt to help with moving elbows
stick9 replied to justinpryor's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I use the UA shirt with the grip on the arms. It works really well. The shirt itself is better than anything I have used. Wish I would have bought two. -
I do not believe it is a replacement. I think it's a stand-alone offering with increased portability. JMO
-
I wouldn't be so quick to assume it will be cheaper. Small and portable means it has to be rugged. That usually means added cost and less functionality.
-
You're right, you never mentioned the quarters. That's not really the point. The point here is, you said Trues are the only brand you can bake multiple times without issue. Which by your own admission is completely inaccurate.
-
Umm, that's not entirely accurate. I know bauers can be baked multiple times as I owned several pairs that have been baked more than once. My ribcors have been baked at least twice so I have to assume it's the same with CCM. The issue isn't so much the quarter materials as it is the adhesives used.
-
LS5 and Step are roughly the same price.
-
Have you guys experienced any premature breakdown of the parts in the rear towers from blade movement?
-
I know a guy who has one and really likes it. Same guy swears by ABHS (all black hockey sticks), so take it for it's worth.
-
If you're talking titans, I'd put warrior ahead of CCM. CCM sticks are kind of meh. I keep trying them wanting...hoping to like them. It just never works out that way. But everyone is different.

Bauer Supreme 3S fitted in store felt good - feel too big on ice
stick9 replied to Goro's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Because they don't know any better and neither do the people helping them, sometimes. -
Can we hit the undo on that? No need to confuse the conversation. Retail version should get it's own thread. JMO

Bauer Supreme 3S fitted in store felt good - feel too big on ice
stick9 replied to Goro's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Well, slim chance the skates get smaller with more use. Does the 3s have the 3 different fits? Any chance that 8 is a bigger fit than what was scanned? Maybe length is fine, just the wrong width and/or depth... -
Will the shells be 3D printed like in the promo shots....

Tydan Blades to cease wholesale sales
stick9 replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Nope, no more STEP Edge in the NHL. -
Now throw a bunch of 35 to 55 year olds in questionable shape into the mix. The mask we are wearing were never intended to be used during high intensity activities. At this point, I'd be more concerned with a cardiac event than I would be of covid.

Tydan Blades to cease wholesale sales
stick9 replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Meh, I think they were already there. LS4, STEP ST and Tydan all played and sharpened about the same. LS5 is a marked improvement over the others.
