    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.

    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/

    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.

    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.
  9. stick9
    Well, not anymore... 😁

    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.
  14. stick9
    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?
  17. stick9
    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.
  18. stick9
    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.
  19. stick9
    Because they don't know any better and neither do the people helping them, sometimes.
  20. stick9
    Can we hit the undo on that? No need to confuse the conversation. Retail version should get it's own thread. JMO
  21. stick9
    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...
  22. stick9
    Will the shells be 3D printed like in the promo shots....
  23. stick9
    Nope, no more STEP Edge in the NHL.
  24. stick9
    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.

    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.
