  1. They’re nice if you like expensive repaints.
  2. 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.
  3. I have feet similar to yours minus the bunion issue. I’ve had luck with the last two iterations of JetSpeed in D width (surprising to me) so I’d recommend those in a wide fit. Plus you have the trial and fit guarantee
  4. Two pair of skates for sale;One95 size 4DTrue/SVH older generation 4.5https://sidelineswap.com/ZydoWould love to give a member a better deal.
  5. Looks suspiciously similar to a Reckoner, but a mid-kick. Also, RIP all those patterns you used to love. AlsoI still want one.
  6. I can’t say for sure offhand but LS3 was designed taller and meant to be profiled
  7. LS3 steel was made in Canada and much higher quality imo. At least compared to LS2 LS4 and the like. but there’s plenty of step and Tydan floating around for Edge holders
  8. 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.
  9. a previous iteration of Lightspeed with the screw attachment would line up exactly with what you currently have and be an easy swap. Also easier to find higher quality Step steel or the like
  10. 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.
  11. 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)
  12. https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/sticks/5165848-ccm-ultra-tacks-pro-stock-hockey-stick-80-flex-p20-left-8926 PSH added a bunch of PP05 stock sticks this week in varying flexes as well
  13. Creasing like that imo is less of a quality issue, more of a sizing and volume issue. I would also question how well they were taken care of. But I would agree that top end skates are built more for performance than durability
  14. He’s also fortunate to have not missed significant time to injury. I wouldn’t mind seeing him get close to 99 or pass him. Records only mean so much if they’re from an era where no one will ever touch them.
  15. Shaving cream would definitely do the trick, but luke warm water would loosen it up in the short term as well
  16. This was the laugh I didn’t know I needed today.
  17. Here’s a side by side with a retail P28
  18. Wanted to start a topic for any of our members on with Public Safety related teams (Police, Fire, Military, etc) and what tournaments you regularly attend. We generally played in Chicago PD tournament, and Nashville had a february tournament they have since stopped running.
  19. A Cag One could do it, and would imo be way more appropriate for a youth skate.
  20. With Warrior (New Balance) trying to break into the skate game, maybe they make a run at jerseys too 🤷🏽‍♂️ How was the fanatics/adidas partnership structured? Could fanatic’s do them on their own? maybe CCM? Nike? Bauer?
  21. Depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, you could also compare the mounting holes on one size larger or smaller holder.
  22. MIC Franchise Eagle and third place may as well be fiftieth
