Speaking of the FT6 Pro line, any word on when the skates will be available for custom orders?

I'm waiting on the date as well, late May, early June is what I've been told

[Graf Ultra 5000 Blade loose]

Adding an extra washer or two to the barrel nut may help that issue

[Off ice - slide board or Power Skater (Stryd.os)?]

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

There's also a couple sit down "splits" machines where you can either drive your legs together or apart.

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. 

[Bauer X3.7 upgrade?]

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

[MIC Franchise Sale, Cooperall Girdle]

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. Palms are useable but will need some attention in the future. Thumbs were cut but DIY reattached, not by me. 
 

$85 + shipping

14” Phoenix all red Turris, darker than the ones above. Also loose fitting, palms in very useable shape. 
 

$115 + shipping

 

13” Navy and white. Very good shape palms, will use a small amount of undercuff reattaching. 
 

$115 + shipping

 

CooperAll girdle brand new old stock

CG3 Junior Medium. Bought sight unseen under the impression they were senior. Recouping my investment. 
 

$45 + shipping. 

[Bauer Pulse Ti vs. DLC (Step / Bladetech / etc.)]

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

I believe this guy may have what you’re after

[In Between Senior and Intermediate Sticks]

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

[Datsyuk CCM Pro Stock Stick]

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

[Help identifying year/info on these Easton Ultra Lite Pro's]

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

[Help identifying year/info on these Easton Ultra Lite Pro's]

Early 2000's, I believe they were one model below the UL Pro and Z-Air with the horrible black/green carbon fiber holder

Some similar info there

[Very thin footbed]

outside of finding someone who recently bought new and would part with the original footbeds, these may be the thinnest you'll find aftermarket

[Curve in between p88 and p92]

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

[New Supreme 1S Skates (not a sale)]

Size would matter too (as it usually does). 
 

I would Expect an 8.5 to sell for more than a 12EE

[How to get skates with +1 holder sizing]

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

[Hockey Services and HockeyWolf]

Hockey Services in Kalamazoo? 

Legit place, and great bunch of guys

[CCM LK Pro Stock sticks]

E is the RibCore asymmetrical shaft shape

[Honing stone recommendation for coated blades]

https://prosharp.us/products/leather-hone
 

these work well on the coated mirrored blades as well

[Outdoor rink gear]

Five words. 
 

hand warmers in the cup

[What is the oddest hockey equipment ever?]

mission marketed one as well. 

[What is the oddest hockey equipment ever?]

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. 
 

 

[Hockey bags]

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
