https://ultraslide.com/product/ultraslide-8/ Most of the speedskaters i know use this unit. If you utilize it regularly, well worth the investment in my opinion. I've never personally seen the Brrrn unit, but it looks a bit light (as though it may move side to side as you stride) and doesn't offer different width options like the ultra slide The stryd looks neat in theory but goes against every skating principle there is (pushing back behind you at a 45* angle)

I held a Pasta/Fisher and P28 Bauer against eachother and could have easily been convinced they were identical blades edit: it was a Kucherov

That’s a useful machine, I’d focus more on Adduction (coming together) than the abduction. you may find the most benefit from body weight stuff while your arm is immobilized. Things like TRX squats, particularly split squats with no weight. Once you can manipulate your arm you could toss in a very light weighted vest for resistance. some very low step ups and box jumps would be useful. Also focusing on exercises and stretches to improve ROM in the hip would benefit as well.

Source for Sports has an SMU Vapor X Velocity skate that would be similar if not a slight upgrade as well

3 pair of Franchise on the sale block, more pics on request; 14” Phoenix, white cuff. Feels loose for a 14, Hossa cuff I believe it’s called.

Also loose fitting, palms in very useable shape. $115 + shipping 13” Navy and white.

Bought sight unseen under the impression they were senior. Recouping my investment. $45 + shipping.

I know I sound like “get off my lawn guy,” but coatings aside even I’ll take any aftermarket steel over Bauer’s current steel any day of the week

https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/holders-runners-replacement-steel/4197968-easton-parabolic-steel-ii-runners?referral_code=Zydo441 I believe this guy may have what you’re after

All good points, do you prefer the dimensions of the senior or intermediate more? I'd start there

https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/sticks/6033204-ccm-rbz-speedburner-pavel-datsyuk-pro-stock-stick-detroit-red-wings?referral_code=Zydo441 this one looks more current than the big old oar paddle I remember him using

A - they're probably noticeably heavier than current skates but if theres comfort, who cares B - that parabolic steel was notorious for breakage, I'd keep my eyes on SLS or similar and have a backup pair sooner rather than later C - LocTite the blade anchors so you dont lose one

Early 2000's, I believe they were one model below the UL Pro and Z-Air with the horrible black/green carbon fiber holder https://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/downloads/easton2002.pdf Some similar info there

outside of finding someone who recently bought new and would part with the original footbeds, these may be the thinnest you'll find aftermarket https://www.purehockey.com/product/elite-hockey-pro-hockey-skate-insoles/itm/28243-2/

There’s a Warrior W90 in the midrange pro sticks that I believe is a less open W03

Size would matter too (as it usually does). I would Expect an 8.5 to sell for more than a 12EE

By the time you get new holders and pay for installation, I’d consider going the custom route. Buy once, cry once.

Hockey Services in Kalamazoo? Legit place, and great bunch of guys

E is the RibCore asymmetrical shaft shape

https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/sticks/5911056-ccm-ribcor-team-hockey-stick

https://prosharp.us/products/leather-hone these work well on the coated mirrored blades as well

Five words. hand warmers in the cup

mission marketed one as well.

I may be misremembering the name, but I believe it was RocketHockey sticks, they were a shaft with a hole in the tenon, and blades with snap button built into the hosel for easy removal/changing. Think the Harpoon system but worse. and the kicker was, they didn’t initially make blades, so you had to buy one, send it to them to add the connector, and then have it shipped back.

https://jrzglobalsports.com/hockey-bags/jrz-hockey-bag-h-851-bwb-h-851-bwb JRZ has in-stock bags that are great. Giant duffels, i believe with interior skate dividers on the ends. I think the pricing is in CDN which makes them about $76 USD. Well worth it IMO

Bauer made the SGX 90, a shin pad with built in knee brace. (I vaguely remember Eric Lindros being the poster boy for these, as they were originally produced for him)

All the Warroad stuff is great as long as you’re willing to wait for their sales. Been happy with every product of theirs.
