  1. Purchased new from the Kings organization at an equipment sale and used by me for about 8-10 skates. Amazing, light gloves in great shape built to Doughty’s personal specs including digital palms. Nothing “wrong” with them except for some palm wear and a small gap of fabric on the cuff roll (see pic) which was there when I bought them - just trying to clear out my closet so I’ve decided to make these available. He wore these exact same gloves during the 2018-2019 season. Looking for $125 shipped to the conUSA, I do shipping to Canada but I would have to charge for that.
  2. Exact reason I stopped buying any True OPS... though I have heard they have improved a lot in terms of blade durability. I switched to a Vapor 1X Lite last year and have stuck with that and now the Vapor FlyLite since and the TeXtreme construction of their blades has been excellent. I have played a ton with the 1X and the blade has no chips or anything, it’s been great.
  3. I broke so many True tapered blades that I finally stopped using them... kept breaking them at the hosel and it was clear there was some kind of design defect with them. I switched to the Warrior tapered blades and was off and running. I agree with what you said about the True shafts though, they are excellent. Too bad all the tapered stuff is no longer made by them or Warrior anymore.
  4. I was looking to order a one-off custom Re-Akt 200 but it looks like the custom builder is no longer on Monkey, Pure, IW, etc. Anyone know if they don’t allow it anymore? I’m assuming they took it away but just wanted to be sure.
  5. I have a few used ones (85, 95 flex) and tapered RH Warrior blades I am willing to part with if anyone is interested.
  6. Just an update, below is a pic of my palm after 6 skates using digital/lizard skin 0.5mm: Not too bad, very minimal wear in the actual material... mostly cosmetic discoloration.
  7. I ended up sticking with Lizard Skin (bought a couple new rolls). Skated with the gloves for a pickup, so far so good. I’ll update the thread with a pic after a few more skates with them.
  8. Hey everyone, I just got a pair of new CCM Landeskog pro returns that have digital. I have never used digital palms before and I want these to last. I usually use LizardSkin for my grips but I tend to go through them fairly fast and at $10 a pop, I have been leaning toward going back to tape. Anyone have any recommendations as it pertains to what works best on digital palms? Thanks!
  9. Of course he does, he knows where his priorities lie.
  10. Thanks man! Much appreciated 🙂
  11. A couple shots from our tournament in Vegas two weekends ago... the Knights practice facility is awesome. We lost 2-1 in OT in the championship game but still had a great time. Team pic. The majority of us have been playing together since we were 14 years old... we are all in our 40's now. Team name is Hammer Team, in memory of our friend (last name was Hammer) who passed away in 2012 from cancer. He loved Crown Royale, so their logo is represented in our logo 🙂
  12. Those are BADASS... haha. Where can I get one? 😄 And Anaheim Ice, right? Dude I am right down the freeway in Aliso...haha.
  13. All shafts sold, sorry for any confusion.
  14. I bought these from HockeyShot.com earlier this year and never used them - we were going to move into a place with a bigger garage but decided to stay put. Never used, brand new. I would prefer a local SoCal pickup due to the size and shipping hassle but will consider shipping if desired. I would also prefer to sell them as a set but would be willing to break them up into 2 sets of 12. Asking for $100 for 12 or $175 for all 24.
  15. Selling these because I bought a bunch since True stopped making them this year and realized I probably won't go through them all anytime soon. The 75 and one of the 95's were both used once and are uncut (55.5") and end plug is included - asking for $80 each shipped to the US - SOLD The other 95 is a little more worn and uncut, end plug is included - asking for $70 shipped to the US - SOLD *The 85 has been used for a few games and pickups and is cut to 53.5", end plug included - asking for $55 shipped to the US - 85 HAS BEEN SOLD!*** I had lizard skin on all of the grips so there is some residue on them but it can be removed if you have the time and patience to do it (I clearly don't 😉
  16. Selling both of these pairs, unfortunately - I LOVE these retro LAK/Elmira gloves but they are 13" and my fingers feel like they are going to bust through - I wanted them so badly that I bought them for $200 even though I use 14"s. Amazing, lightweight gloves. I love the Isles ones too but I have barely used them so I decided to sell them. The LAK pair was used 2 times only for a pickup and a kids' coaching session. The Isles pair were used 4 times for pickup. Both pairs are in great shape with just some minor palm wear (a little more wear on the Isles pair due to using tape instead of a grip. Asking for $150 shipped to US for the LAK pair $95 shipped to the US for the Isles pair.
  17. I like the Super Tacks elbows... really comfortable and I’m extremely picky about elbow pads (and all pads for that matter, lol).
  18. On the topic of socks in conjunction with True skates, I tried a pair of Copper Fit compression socks and believe it or not, they felt great, better than any sock I had used and I have tried a lot of socks. I ended up buying 2 more pairs. I used Swiftwick for a while not too long ago but eventually they made my calves itch (weird I know). If I can’t use the Copper Fit pairs because they are dirty, my fallback are Under Armour skate socks.
  19. I have the Super Tacks shins, love them... they are ultra protective.
  20. Got it. Thanks guys.
  21. Anyone know what model CCM glove Marchessault is wearing? Those are crazy.
  22. The traditional 4-roll look is the best look for hockey gloves, hands down. Glad to see they are releasing MIC ones now. I’d give them a shot if they felt right to me.
