    Warrior doesn't have the best booking program, so I know a decent amount of retailers that wait until closer until season to get product in. Its worth the wait though, I like the new gloves (not as much as franchises, but, nothing will compare to those) and the QR1 sticks are amazing. Next season I'd expect to see Warrior gear in sooner some places as they will probably have an all new protective line.

    Dude buy some protective equipment! No one likes playing with guys that have nothing on either.

    All Makos will be repossessed from consumers and replaced with the new company's skate. All stock from retailers will be repossessed as well and replaced. The same thing happened when Bauer bought Cooper, Bauer had all of their skates repossessed from consumers and retailers and that's why you don't see Cooper skates anymore.

    I thought this existed, I saw that post in Bauer thread and was going to link to this. Has reebok made official date yet on 40K stick? I thought It was 10/1 maybe?

    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.

    Have you tried on a Bauer Nexus in a wide width? Or Graf 709s in a wide? That would be a start before going into customs. The Bauer Nexus in a 2E is essentially a 4E skate so trying it on would be a good option for you. As for questions on a custom order - well, the guy doing your custom skates should be able to answer any questions you have. If he can't then I'd suggest looking for someone different to order $1000 skates for you.

    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.
  17. raganblink
    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.
  21. raganblink
    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.
  22. raganblink
    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
  23. 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.
  24. 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
  25. raganblink
    $599.99 MAP for the M8
