    I was going off memory, sorry. I got the most important part of that right, were still 4 months away.

    4/1 is launch I believe, expect to seem them in stores pretty quickly.

    Blades are a dying business. If they are around in 5 years it'll be pretty exclusive to one or two companies. If you are in love with something, I'd suggest starting to stock-pile.

    HTX officially is mid-June. I wouldn't be surprised if LHS have the sticks earlier though since Easton tends to send stores product a couple weeks before internet launch.
  6. raganblink
    Yes. Seller has 3 left.

    Makes sense - I don't even know where my catalog went so I was going off memory. The hard part is seeing this stuff 6 months before launch and then having to relearn everything.

    I wonder how much abuse goes on during the programs. We told our employees its for them and them only & if they aren't wearing the skates they'll be in trouble. It makes it a little easier to control when you only have 8 employees though ha.

    Between One.9 and 180 - yes. Between One.9 and 190 - not so much. The 180 will have the same Curv composite quarter panel, however there is a different as far as liner, tongue and with the samples I saw - stiffness. 180 was softer than the 190, even though both have the curv composite material. Could have just been what I saw but there was a difference. If you are looking at buying the one.9, especially on clearance, go for it.

    He asked what price points they'll have - not sure if were on the same page.

    JGraz - All of them. Top end thru entry level.

    From my rep... E7 is dead because a majority of players were migrating towards e36/p88. E7 apparently only sold really well in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri. Everywhere else it was their number 3 or 4 best selling curve. Guess the market wasn't big enough to keep it as an option and decided to focus on the e36

    Most sharpeners see steel and hone it. Kind of like fat kids getting drawn into a candy machine, just happens. I don't think too many people don't know you aren't supposed to hone it? I made sure my guys don't but it just takes one guy...

    Blackedge, sorry. When I viewed I asked if it was OEM'd by Blackedge & I was told that CCM purchased rights to use it. Could be totally made up, wouldn't shock me.

    JR, CCM 4-Roll gloves have a revamp. As for the steel on the SB Black steel - I was told CCM purchased the rights to produce blacksteel and this is it.

    Huh, good to know. I just checked my stock & it sounded like a church! Ill have to do this in the future when wheels come in. Thanks
  18. raganblink
    What is the ring test? We've yet to have a wheel blowup - just make sure spacer is on & its tightened down snug and we've been fine.
  19. raganblink
    Oh yes, discounted would always be better. Same with NXG to the 190/180 for instance. The m8 is really solid skate - at that PP its right there with the X90/X100, 190 etc
  20. raganblink
    $599.99 MAP for the M8

    For clarification it was mentioned that Nexus comes out in Summer. The stick line is available and launches same time as Supreme skates, Vapor gear, etc. April 17th I believe? The rest of the Nexus line (skates, protective) comes out in June. I believe the 20th is official launch. 2.1 is dead - Bauer no longer produces it. It is not made in LSEdge.

    For those bummed about Iginla curve - Datsyuk in Reebok Tavares in CCM is pretty close.

    Your unknown USHL team CLs belonged to the Lincoln Stars

    If it can actually be proven to significantly improve the safety of players with concussions - and I mean significantly - it will do amazing. However I doubt they'll be able to prove that in any way shape or form. If a company came out with a legit concussion proof helmet - a $399 or $299 price tag is in no way out of the question - and it would sell well, too. If I have kids that play hockey, I don't care how much it would cost to keep them safe - if my budget for skates and helmet are $500, I'll gladly spend $300 of that on a helmet and then $200 skates, instead of $100 or $200 helmet with $300-$400 skates.

    Just different. Felt like a cross between the x7.0 & x6.0.
