We're done here.

Nah, hell, I didn't know til I started working for them. It's crazy - all of the high-margin service items that stores make very good money on, we give away to customers. Very different business model.

Total Hockey does not charge for skate bake/boot punches, eyelets and rivets (those are within reason) in any of their locations, regardless of where you bought the skate from. Carry on.

Correction noted. Catalogues always get revised at the last minute. I've got Skills Camp next week.

So, yeah, while they've consolidated the fit and spec, it's still tough for a retailer to carry the full spectrum of that line.

The issue is that their business model does not work for retailers. Carrying 7 skates in the same spec with different fits is not cost-effective for a retailer. Extremely flawed business model - either a store had to go all in with them and carry every skate in every line, or they would look like an incomplete shop when they don't have a 707 for that 707 guy. That's why when you go into a store that has every Graf model, they dog every other skate brand - because they can't carry them! Anyway, Graf isn't doing it as drastically as what you think they are doing; not only that, they've been doing it for the past couple of years anyway. The SRPP-outer skate only came out in one fit, and the MCI would only be one fit as well.

When are you going to be up there? SummerJam is the same weekend as NARCh Pro. Joey - eh, that's old news! Just kidding - you know how I feel about you two...congrats!

Now for my reference - I was a 10.5 in Reebok/CCM before and I'm STILL a 10.5 in the RBZ. We have our demo stock at the store, and CCM is sending me a pair. When in doubt, follow the holder. I know I'm always on the small side of 296. It is the one absolute number with skate fitting - mm don't lie. (except for Bauer Supreme, LOL)

There will be some new Krown offerings in the late fall. We'll post them when appropriate.

They were Maine gloves, but I added the yellow on the embroidery. Will most likely add some silver to the glove as well.
