You should be able to sharpen all of those with the standard holder.

What model, brand and size are the youth skates? Same for goal skates.

This is correct. You just return them to your point of purchase.

I prefer the pitch and on-ice feel of Tuuk. Plus, I'm skating on experimental steel, and also prefer LS Fusion when not. Can't get used to the taller steel with LS4.

We typically omit bags in the catalogues.

Sticks - New for 2017 is the 2nd gen XCore product; the XC9 ACF. With a focus on swing weight, the XC9 ACF's balance point was tweaked to improve on that. It was lightened a bit in the shaft and blade - coming in at 415g. Their Braided Rib Tech that debuted on the A6.0 SBP last year has been added to the entire X series line. On the graphics side, the stick was given a bit more color in the upper part of the shaft. Available in all of True's patterns, however, a MC2 was added to the retail lineup. It is a xx9 clone. The stick is coming in at $279.99 USD in senior length. On the youth and junior side, the XC9 is offered in 4 different flexes; it is called the U-Flex. Comes in at 20/30/40/50 flex. The A Series is unchanged for 2017. Gloves - Unchanged for 2017. Pants - This is a new category for True for 2017, and it's an interesting take on the category. Their X-Tec Suspension protective package is in the hip and kidney pads - there is a X strap that goes across the pad on the side that sits against the body, creating a space between the body and the actual pad. Upon impact, it allows for the brunt of the impact to be dispersed, minimizing it as it carries through to the body. Here are some examples: The pant comes in two forward-canted fits, the XC9 which is a fitted pant, and the A6.0 SBP which is a classic fit. They both come with 800 denier nylon, zippers, antimicrobial liner and a 2" height adjustment system that is achieved with grommets. Also to note, the hip pads are cut differently. They are segmented for better flexion. So instead of having a single piece of curved plastic, you have a straight piece running down the pant (like goalie pants used to have) then the actual front hip pad.

You've also never sharpened on a full machine before. The pressure required is different.

Yes, sorry - my bad.

Not by then. The MAG-75 is the Spinner dressing mechanism from the standard machine placed on a magnetic base.

Kane wore them first. It's in this thread.

Since Blackstone has been a great partner on MSH for a very long time, I believe it's best to support them in any way we can.

That was Kane for a game.

My store has gotten LS3 Pro steel in LS2 configuration (non-EDGE) but not this. I had noticed it on the custom order form and so I asked what it was. That's how I got the graphic.

It is very similar to Step in regards to heel/toe profile.

There is a pro variant of LS3 steel - has a different profile than regular LS3 - it's more game ready than the stock. Also, they don't have the same players as they did. While he may have moved some guys shallower, it all comes back to how there was less education back then. Hell, Guerin was still using ICMs.

I'd have to disagree. It's slowly changing as more education is out there.

No idea how we had permission for a guest to post. Fixed that - Marvin - please register.
