Received news this morning that longtime MSH member Brian Miyajima ( @TBLfan) passed away on Tuesday night after dealing with a long illness.
He was a great guy and I enjoyed interacting with him on the site as well in real life.
There is a GoFundMe set up for him: https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-memory-of-brian-miyajima?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2kS9ZxsQtcxPDpybDuqHfCZLG09gF4ItkKwcsqnKbq1vQZEo1sE9iv3xU_aem_Wh8btLU1ZEj5izXWpul2Xg

One of my best friends - @joshy207 - who passed away in November, wore KOR Shift2. He rotated 3 pair.

SVH was involved with KOR, so his hockey skate experience precedes DASC/VH/TRUE.

If the company is serious about getting more exposure, they can contact me and see if we can set up reviews; we don’t make testers pay to review product.

I pulled back your warning.
No, you won’t use my site to grant you a bigger audience for coupon codes.
-
Done.
Posts can be reported, that’s how I was notified about yours. Didn’t know about his.
-
Please stop posting coupon codes. You’ve been warned already.

I know there are people on this site that know the real reasons behind Warrior being in Mexico, I am not sure if it is more than being very quick to make custom sticks for pros. Quality wise it shouldn't matter, the Fantom was only made in China IIRC.NAFTA. Passed around the time Inno started.
They also can only make certain sticks in Mexico due to their manufacturing process there. The Fantom was one of the sticks that they couldn’t.

Also curious as to why they haven't tried titanium. Too brittle...too hard to sharpen? There has to be more to it than just cost.
Step tried a titanium/stainless steel hybrid similar to Fusion; was called TiSS - never made it to market.

TiN coating - was gold plated. Last company to do that was Tydan.

Ever look down a shaft and see plastic bags? That’s a bladder mold - blown up to take shape then popped.
Compression molding is when the stick is wrapped around a mandrel in the molding process.

Mail-in service. I cut and install them and ship back the skates.

CX was Chinese-made, as was all of their bladder-molded sticks.
The compression-molded sticks were made in Mexico.

When I spoke to Steve at first, $16k was the number mentioned.
We have a follow up call - just trying to get it scheduled.

That was totally awesome of you to do!

Do understand that in most cases, the NHL adoption rate is driven by convenience, not performance.
