hockeyguy2925 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 i picked up a ops at a local hockey shop going out of business. it was one of the last there, the paint is chipping from banging against other sticks. so the guy says, tell me what you want it for, its one less thing i have to take home with me. I said $15, and he said you've got a deal. Its a rebelion hockey stick. i've never really heard of rebellion, just a couple of times. anyone know some info on this company?

Chadd 916 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 I demo'd the skates and didn't like them and I didn't like the attitude from the people at the show last year when I talked to them about the problem. At that time we were considering opening an account with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 Bryan Trottier is involved with them. He said he knew one of the principals and was invited to join them. I spoke with him for a few minutes at this year's show, and he made it sound as though he's in charge of marketing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lerxst 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 Trottier... That explains why he was wearing Rebellion Gloves and using a Rebellion Stick at the Penguins Fanatasy Camp this year... I don't remember him wearing Rebellion skates though... :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 We used to sell'em in our store, I played around with them a bit on shooter tutors and stickhandling balls, but not much else. They seem decent, likely on par with a price-point OPS. For $15 you can't go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hersheybears35 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 I went to a Penguins alumni game in Hershey last year, Trots had the Rebellion sticks and gloves back then, they had a bunch of promo stuff at the front doors, stickers, catalogs, etc, and most of the raffle prizes were Rebellion things autographed by the Pens....................I leafed through one of the catalogs....looked good, but if I remember right you could only get the skates in a "d" width, which is one of my pet peeves with any skate manufacturer.......................

Is this true? i tried the stick out, its alright, but i think i would like it much more if i could but the blade of my choice in. would i just have to heat it up so that the blade just pops out? the stick is a "graphite gunner" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick23 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2006 The sticks i have seen are like the franklin ops, wooden core, heavy and usually stiff, not a bad feel though, i can back up on the old gloves, they don't last.P.S. 44 wannabe, great bbq sat, but get your ass to school xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fredrik 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 Their gloves are ok, but they do NOT last...... Their top end 7500 isn't durable then? Just bought a pair for my son, but i got them cheap ($40) so i guess it doesn't matter if they are crappy as long as they are protective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
