  1. He doesn't have to worry about his tendon guard breaking...
  2. Sorry, I stand corrected as I read someone's website wrong. Look's like junior sizes are not available.
  3. Step's Blacksteel is available in junior sizes.
  4. It's better if your class is in a building with an elevator. Board them, then stand them up in the elevator and send them to the ground floor.
  5. Bruins equipment sale at HockeyMonkey in Norwood on November 8th: http://bruins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=735382
  6. Gonchar was an early Mako convert... The Mako is the refinement of the MLX skate. I'm waiting for the refinement of the VH skate.
  7. When it comes to skates CCM is a stronger competitor to Bauer than Easton and VH combined. There's a reason for Bauer's dominance and it's not their marketing.
  8. Goalie cut FBV http://modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php/topic/62142-goalie-skate-sharpening-issue/?p=946779
  9. Looking forward to checking those gloves out in person.
  10. No, The Re-Akt 100 is a new model in addition to the Re-Akt.
  11. Whatever happened to concept of a traditional (non-carbon) toecap becoming available? Going from the experiences of the Synergy 1500 I would pass on a skate with a carbon toe.
  12. How about a picture of the tendon guard from the back of the skate...
  13. Has the Franchise glove run finally ended? http://www.mywarriorhockey.com
  14. No skate is going to be bulletproof.
  15. Nice...congratulations to the little guy!
  16. I really liked the gray custom Superfeet. Got mine from TSR, who also do a fair amount of lift installations.
  17. How pliable were the skates after you baked them? How long did you keep them on for? Were they completely cooled down before taking them off? If done correctly, you wouldn't have any need to immediately re-bake them. Better off waiting until you skate in them and see how they feel, and see whether or not you have any hot spots and go from there.
  18. I had to struggle to get mine on before having them baked, so I would ask whether or not you have the right size? For me these were the most uncomfortable skate out of the box. Without baking you're not going to get the foot wrap/fit that the Mako provides. While I can see your apprehension in having the ankle issue that some experienced happen to you, I would point out that there are many of us skating in Mako's who didn't get that problem. I would bake, and if you experience the ankle rubbing over the top of the boot, then you can spot heat that area and roll it out.
  19. Yes the liner gets wet from your sweat during the skate, but the liner itself is not soaking up the moisture like a sponge does. My impression is that the weight doesn't change significantly when you compare them before and after.
  20. Not really going to be able to know for sure unless someone gets a pair before the summer release and skates in them. I didn't have the high ankle rubbing issue, but it will be interesting to see if those that did don't have that problem with the Mako II.
  21. Best place to start is where you normally go for your gear, unless you're unhappy with them for some reason or they're not a Warrior retailer.
  22. Have to go through an authorized Warrior retailer. Sounds like for the moment they're still being made in a North American plant, but that will change at some point. If you want custom Franchise's you should order sooner rather than later.
