    Seriously, what conceivable reason can HS have for sponsoring this?  Ok...rant over, and please...if I am missing something, pleeeeze tell me.

    Influencers are our generations commercials and Kay-Bee Toys Catalogs i guess, whether we like it, understand it or not.

    We're part of a dying breed, Hapsburg. Like people who can name all 50 States.

    Hi Sue,

    We've went through the Speed Plates too. First version seems like a super high arch. Really like the 2.0 but they're so heavy.

    So I just emailed Bauer and said I wanted to buy a couple of pairs of the insoles that came in our UltraSonics. Here is their reply;

    Hi,

     

    We do not sell these as an aftermarket product, we sell the SpeedPlate for this usage. I would also recommend looking at SuperFeet insoles.

     

     Thank you,

    Jacob

    I thought the reply was ridiculous. They can't sell any replacement "parts" for their products?

     

     

    I'm guessing they cannot, simply because they don't keep stock insoles around. And if they did, they'd package and sell them to retailers the way CCM does.That being said, a generic Bauer retail insole at the retail level wouldn't be the worst idea. That being said, these are pretty close replacements to stock;

  3. So, it’s light, I’ll give it that. But I don’t see any major weight or construction differences compared to a HyperLight. At first inspection it appeared the elliptical taper started higher up the shaft but only slightly. Also the lower third to half of the shaft has no grip. Not sure it’s enough to justify the price hike, but I haven’t tried it yet. 
     

    graphically Bauer knocked it out of the park, the stick looks great. Interested to see how it looks on TV, I’m sure that’ll be the real determining factor.

  4. Depending upon what’s available in your area, or where you’ll be sending them, you could start with a cag one profile. It will simply add a flat area for stability as you adjust. Something like a 25/40 might give you stability as well as feeling more like your larger blades. 
    I’ve personally felt Quads and the like are too involved for your average adult skater, but perhaps a 7-10 or 9.5-10.5 would suit you well. 


  5. Pretty cool set. Black and Vegas gold with HB logo

     

    pants are Covert DT1 Sr Large. Used, some wear on the inner thighs but still very good shape

     

    glover are Vapor team 13”. Shows use but also plenty of life left. Right palm is more worn. One plastic popsicle stick protector showing (see photo)

     

    both items freshly cleaned. 
    $100 plus shipping. Or shoot an offer.

  6. The more i read through the comments, the more a "college level hockey player" turns into "former ACHA player turned beer leaguer who doesn't take very good care of his gear."

    I wonder if those skates have ever been left to dry since the day they were new.

    (I have no bias against ACHA players, I used to equip many of them and saw them do exactly this to skates they took poor care of)
