Why so many Tuuk holders in NHL?

I have noticed a lot of NHL players use the Tuuk holder even if their skates are not Bauers. Why is this? I thought all holders do basically the same thing - hold the blade in place. What would make one holder better than another?

Feel and flex, that's why I go with Tuuk. Blades like Cobras are too stiff for my preference.

Just preference. Especially for the younger players in the NHL, what holder have they used since they learned to skate?

Long live ICM.

i think they are just used with the tuuks, there was a time you didn´t had a lot of different holders to chose from, so there was like only icm and tuuk (slm and so on...). the only one who´s left is tuuk, i wouldn´t change my tuuk holders even i would not skate in bauers. sure i would keep a cobra or pitch a chance but after 20 years of hockey with tuuks, why? tuuks are abolutely ok with weight, durability, and sharpening. i think it´s the whole package, there are holders you can adjust, some are stiffer, some are lighter, but all in all, the tuuk scores in all disciplines...

p.s.: t-blades suck! :lol:
