    Well, at this point a year later, we are at another organization.  He tried out for the previous organization.  Due to multiple issues and a desire to play other sports we left.  He was going to play in house at that rink.  The inhouse program closed.  At that time he was asked to play for a tournament team at another rink a little further away.  He joined their inhouse program then they let him join late season on their travel team.  He actually played his old team and was accosted by players calling him names and hitting him after the handshake line.  So long and short he is happy where he is.  The program he came from and rink all seem to be in jeopardy.  It is a shame.  But he enjoys his new team so much and the game.

    Just out of pure paranoia are your boots made of a similar material 🤣 I do not wanna melt my 1xrs or create some chemical reaction.

    I will try this though if you have used it on anything similar. I am too broke to get new skates, also I hate breaking them in. The modern boots are dumb stiff.

    I get it.  My current are x 800.  I did this were the wear patches were by the toe.  I have done this on other parts of different skates.  This is also a common practice to plug holes on on the insoles of skates that have had multiple holders put on. Would I smear the whole skate with it?No.

    see, I'm the opposite... I can't stand that hard bike helmet type shell inside the V10 and many newer helmets, I prefer the cushioning the VN gives me.  I've also tried a Bauer IMS9 and didn't care for that padding either.  My V08's are both maybe 10 years old and still have soft padding, seeing how I might be able to find a new one here or there I'll have to keep my eyes open.

    Same here.  My V08 died and I am currently rocking a bauer 5100.

    I'll check them out...thank you. Also going to try the Tour Code 1 padded shirt.  Still might just hack the caps off my Bauer's. Maybe have a shoemaker modify them so the caps are removable. 

    Word of warning about the tour shirt.  It is really short and sizing off.  Two of us in beer league tried it, but went with the mission one.

    I have a sherwood t90 in intermediate and another in senior.  Their is definitely a difference in the dimensions.  Also have a 6092 tacks and super tacks 2.0 in intermediate.  I have the ribcor pro and tacks as1 in senior.  Once again definitely different in dimensions.  On a side note the intermediate tacks are 65 flex and the tacks senior is 75(cut to maybe an 80) .  Hard passes just blow through the 65.

    So the local ice rink is 10-15 away.  There is another 25min. I am currently driving my kid to the 20 min one due to better programs.  With that being said he still has skating lessons at the local rink, we do stick and shoots, and I play there once a week. To play roller the outdoor rink here is 15 from our house and I travel once a week 1 hr each way to play in a league in another town.

    When I was a kid the closest rinks were 45-1hr away.  Also take into consideration if your kids play where does the league have games at.  Here most of them are an 1 to 2 hours away with a couple being in the 3 hour range. Our local rink doesnt even have inhouse for the kids. There are several parents here that drive their children 2-2 1/2 hours each way several times a week to play on various elite teams Pittsburgh.  There are also parents that won't even drive 25-30 for the in house league. So there kids dont play anymore. So to answer your question I guess its personal preference.

    Looks like a pack of partial insoles? With varying thickness I would guess.  Same function as shims? With a less permanent application making them easier for the end user to adjust?  Would that present a problem with fitment of the boot and even heel lock?  More questions than answers.

    My concern and hesitation with the sleeve design is that it will smell like crazy after 6 months or so of play. I air out my gear regularly and use one of those portable dryers, so my gear just has a slight odor, but the under layers really reek! Despite the anti-odor claims, they smell so bad that, at this point, laundry only makes them smell good for 1 wear. I can't imagine forcing something like that to be sawn onto my gear. Traditional elbow pads without sleeves seem so much easier to maintain.

    I play a couple times or more a week.  I air my stuff out after each session.  The only peices of my equipment that ever really smelled were my skates.  Didn't start wearing a base layer or socks till about a year ago.  Plus i lost my faculty of smell about 8 or 9 years ago.

    I got the stallions hpr 1.1.  I got mediums.  They fit good out the box. They are more mobile out the box then my old high end vapors that at broke in.  Biceps could be a little larger.  At the level i play anymore i am more concerned with a random fall than a slash.  That being said the length is perfect.  Volume could be a little more.  I have a "game" tonight.  I'll update this.  That being said I contacted St x regarding my fit concern.  They said they had no problem creating a return slip for me if they didn't fit.  

    UPDATE: Super pleased with the preformance.  I gotta say as advertised didn't slip.  Super comfortable and flexible. As far as elbow pads go this is as close as i have flet to wearing nothing.  No pinching or binding. I honestly dig the the sleeve. The bicep strap is a moot point for me with the sleeve.  The sleeve keeps it plenty tight enough up top. I will probably just tack it to the sleeve as it holds some of the pad in place so I don't see cutting it off as an option.

    I got my kid pretty Set.  Purchased extra stuff for when he grows out of it.  He is very particular on fit, so now that i got that down were good. As for me.  Now that I modded my shins to fit and sending my gloves for repairs.  Still can't find a pair of elbows I like.  I just ordered a pair of Stx.  I think the only thing ill be in the market for is skates.  Not over exited about the ones I have now.  So when they are shot maybe 2 pair.  One to convert to inlines and one for ice.  But yea kinda over it as I don't see a ton of options or innovations I dig compared to what I have.
