    My recommendation is to go with a lower of a 2-piece pant. And you want to go down a size as well. The Nexus shells are pant shells. The newer Supreme shells are girdle shells, and will have velcro in 3 spots; do they match up to Warrior, that I can't confirm.
  2. JR Boucicaut
    520 is the old Supra pant. 7000 was the Jofa 7000 pant.

    Why not buy new ones?

    Personal experience. Hence why we're doing this. Your mileage will vary. There is not a "one size fits all" approach to this.

    Your text was white on a black background. We received two tickets about it. Perhaps you may not know how you did it, but I corrected it.

    Pure's plain pucks were Rubena, distributed through A&R. To the OP - no need to highlight your text in black.

    It’s a good puck. We’ve used the branded Howie’s puck for our past 3 events. We’ve used their pucks for 6 years.
  8. JR Boucicaut
    Howie’s used Lindsay before their branded ones.

    They're not. The Sox are. If we had stuck to the original date (Aug 4) then yes.

    Happy to announce that we will be hosting the 11th Annual MSH SummerJam in Chicago, IL on Saturday July 27th! We will be skating on the Blackhawks' practice ice at MB Ice Arena. Since it's a new city for us, we decided to start really early on it. If interested in the event, please post here to express your interest.

    Kronwall started to wear them in preseason.

    Roller boots require the same or more material/stiffness than an ice boot. Inline frames put more stress on a sole than an ice holder.
  14. JR Boucicaut
    The former. I make sure they're even first (cross grind on Prosharp in tandem) then apply the profile. You may want to invest in Custom Skateworks' profiling jig to get both sets even. I still use it on the Prosharp - they provide a magnetic tool to hold both sets, but with the CSW jig there's a bit more weight to it.
  15. JR Boucicaut
    For example, the Prosharp section. Perhaps in 2019 we'll see more brands work with us.

    MSH 15th Anniversary

    JR Boucicaut posted an article in News

    As we are in our 15th year of existence (3/20 being the official date), we will be using this logo to commemorate it: It will also be featured on SummerJam and Winterfest jerseys on a patch, and we'll also have a t-shirt. Absolutely crazy that we've been around so long. Thanks goes to everyone who has helped us out along the way.

    Extremely hard. None at all. We did have a thread on it:

    Not DLC.

    I had @Monty22 coat mine.
  21. JR Boucicaut
    They can be done on the older machines with a special jig to hold it in place. @Nicholas G can on his - I’m sure he can help you. Prosharp hasn’t made one for the 2018 model (the one that I have.) I have a set that I can’t sharpen or profile.
  22. JR Boucicaut
    I'm pretty sure I addressed this. Notice that the ones that break are the ones that are stamped CCM on them. Gotta be a pretty soft and/or thin material to be able to stamp them - I used to see them crumble along the sides of the skate over time. Compare those eyelets to other ones and you'll see the difference. That's why they fail easier. They're putting stronger eyelets for the first two holes on top-end skates. I remember lacing up a pair of RBZs right out of the box and stripping it; looked like a curly fry.
  23. JR Boucicaut
    Prosharp has released Zuperior and Quad profiles for smaller sizes. I'll reach out to them and see if I can get those in.
  24. JR Boucicaut
    Custom skates aren't keystone. In True's case, it's cash and carry, which was good for these smaller stores to be able to sell skates.
  25. JR Boucicaut
    You don’t hone either one of those.
