    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.

    LS2, yes, not LS3

    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.
  6. JR Boucicaut
    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.
  11. JR Boucicaut
    Yes. Same premise but not as precise (not in the terms of operation, but the measurements. There are less lines, but on a consumer standpoint, it's perfect and will tell you whether your skates are square or not.)
  12. JR Boucicaut
    Honestly, you can't go wrong with the cheaper Blademaster skate square on a consumer standpoint, and if you're sharpening and need to be precise, then the Pro Square.

    Getting my Winterfest set dialed in.

    R800 helmet is scrapped for 2013.
  16. JR Boucicaut
    Yep. Going to do the Michigan variant in the next couple of months.

    Flatbed? That girl runs like a champ. However, it was funny - as I left the plant, I heard a rattle that I've never heard before. And it hasn't made it since. I think it was kinda like how you take a dog to the vet...

    After 19 years and 106,130 mi, went and brought my car back to where it was completely assembled.

    You can buy a new Blackstone X-01 for under $1000.
  20. JR Boucicaut
    Do the right thing and return it or pay for it. People who work in retail aren't perfect; they make mistakes. At the end of the day, it will cost someone.

    TotalONE D is a true E.

    The VN has the 4-way but has the ability to lock it with screws.
  24. JR Boucicaut
    I posted in the thread that I had both helmets, VN and retail, but I was just reviewing the retail one.

    As someone who is in the tech field, I don't get why this bothers you.
