It’s in the PRO Hockey Sticks thread. I think it’s awesome and quietly kinda huge. When that guy started his company, the logo was a silhouette of Overchkin. Now they guy is breaking what was thought to be an unbreakable record using that brand. It’s kinda touching, honestly. And, it’s awesome that someone is producing good sticks at accessible price. It started as a passion project and the guy who runs PRO seems to genuinely enjoy it and want to do a good job, and not just cash in first chance he gets. (Cue immediately selling his company to Halliburton or something haha)

I think they either lost it and are covering their asses or someone stole it and is pretending it’s lost. But, I’m just a guy on the Internet who tends to not trust people/businesses when it comes to money. Maybe there’s a reasonable, small misunderstand or mistake that can be resolved.

Maybe I’m cynical, but, don’t all signs point to the store received the package, employee Colin signed for it, and then somehow the package got lost, so now the store is lying and denying to cover their mistake? Simply marked delivered has some potential tracking error issues, but signed for by employee doesn’t leave many options. In my experience with American UPS, (we ship a lot of packages to customers through UPS for my job) once something is signed for, or confirmed delivered, they won’t do much of an investigation, because they did their part. If it’s lost or stolen, they mostly say “sucks brah.”

Are you a fan asking about the smell of a rink? That has nothing to do with the equipment, and everting to do with the cleaning processes at the rink. It smells like bodies and bathrooms because the rink don’t clean thoroughly, if at all. It’s the same reason most public bathrooms smell stronger than yours at home.

Ewww. Can you edit the post to reflect that? One thing I love about Modsquad is the objectivity from a diverse population. People can have big feelings about who does their sharpening and what process is better, but that feels gross when he says “no subjective feelings” and he’s shilling for his own work.

Cool, I look forward to True products turning into mediocre slop once this private equity firm guts the company and processes and starts charging more to wring out every penny.

For some of us who are old and set in our ways, as person who both contributed to the proliferation of p28esque curves and ultra-stiff boots, this guy is bordering on super villain status.

What’s the advantage of them being 3D printed? Are the tongues somehow customized to you?

What’s so bad about the quality/design of recent glove offerings?

The stick blade compression is really good. You can point a a ton of NHL players who have elite skill sets and use fairly different blades. It’s more about picking a steel profile and radius that works for you and sticking with it,and learning to maximize that, rather than constantly tinkering and fantasizing that changing the shape of your runner is gonna give you better hockey sense and make you noticeably faster.

This is my guess too. You only relaunch the TPS brand to appeal to a bunch of middle aged folk, and you’re doing it way more on nostalgia than tech.

What (if any) holders have the same hole patter as Bauer edge? My friend cracked his Edge holder and we are looking at other options. Would like to avoid drilling new holes.

Everyone over 40 thinks these look amazing, everyone under 30 is like “where are the racing stripes, grandpa?”

Has anyone worn the CCM m150 referee jersey? How does it fit? This is the cheaper model, not the pro. Specifically looking at how much room the sleeves have for elbows. I’m looking to get into reffing, but also not wanting to drop a bunch of money if I don’t like it. So, hoping to get buy on the less expensive jersey and ideally being able to use player elbows rather than buying a new set for reffing.

When he was working at a different shop before he had his own thing, he put inline chasis on a pair of ice skates for me, so essentially a holder swap. It’s been 12 or so years and I barely use them, but he did a good job. In all of my experiences with him, both mailing steel and in person, he has really good attention to detail, so I’d personally trust him.
