The Fuel AGs fit slightly larger than the S500 in the same size.

That's what they're comfortable using. That's why Roenich and others still use ICMs.

Rafalski's look taller. At the very least he has an extra eyelet at the top.

Keep the receipt and make sure you use it as a tax deduction coach. Essentially every purchase is free that way.

Z2 is a two piece Z1. Non tapered shaft and blade combo.

Did you ask what credit card she wanted to put all of the sticks on?

It would be more protective that way, just not as easy to move around.

Senior shafts use sr tapered blades, jr and int shafts use jr blades.

The correct answer is "I can tell by measuring you."

Speaking of mommies.. Nothing better than when the hot moms come in .. Not even when a hot single girl comes in? That's never happened in any shop I've been in.

Seems decent, never used it.

enough guys, knock it off

I've actually seen some in a shop already

I'd rather make the $30 than not make it.

Door is locked, main lights are out, sign says closed, posted hours show that we should be closed. Customer sees me cleaning and bangs on the door until I open it then asks, "are you open?" Then either wants to kill time or get his skates sharpened and pay with a credit card. If you're headed to a shop and might get there a few minutes late, call and see if they will stay open a couple minutes for you. If you show up 30 minutes late, suck it up and admit it was your fault.

It's one thing to see what it takes to start loading a stick, it's another to see how far you can make it bend or to hold it for a minute. Sticks were not designed to handle either of those things.

Whenever the boat shows up with the rest of the stuff.

Especially when it's four feet from the register and eight feet from the door.

There's no way for us to what the right size is for you, I'm just throwing it out there because I've seen it way too many times.

Dear god I hate those people. Then you have the ones who ask if you're any good. As if anyone who was really bad would realize it or admit it.

Never try one size and buy it. Always try on skates until they're too small and go back up a half size. I know guys that have been playing 10 years who were never in the right skate size.

Logan's stick cutting one reminded me of this. The PIAS in town is just around the corner from the shop and kids would buy their Easton Typhoons or Octanes and then bring them over to us to cut because PIAS wouldn't do it. I got tired of a few customers who I only saw when bringing in the suff they got at PIAS so I could put in blades or cut sticks. If the place where you buy it won't service you, don't expect someone else to do it for free.

I actually had this conversation too. Buy less expensive skates and buy new ones when he needs them

It's worse when half the team comes in ten minutes before the game. Then it's your fault that they aren't all ready in time.

What hollow do you use? And what hollow is that? Not everyone uses the same hollow at that level ok, our "deep cut" is 3/8", that way if you need to adjust you now know the measurement a week later the guy returns You're 6'+ and over 225 pounds are you sure you want a deeper cut? (thinks to self, not this shit again. God, please strike me down right here and now) And what hollow is that? (thinks to self: what a friggin idiot) I'm sorry I won't do that, it's too dangerous for these ice conditions it's also my responsibility to prevent you from injuring yourself Have a nice day
