New Skate Purchase

[CapsFan 5]

You're wrong. CCM/RBK offer D/A or E/B, they do not offer an EE width unless it's a custom order.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification. Is a EE also a B?

If you get EE (which would be custom) you can get an A or B heel, along with a ton of other options.

I was in Bauer's all my life and I switched this year to 9k's and its the best skate I've ever skated on. Since you're playing a couple times a week I'd go for comfort and durability. The 7k's are almost identical to the 9's minus the lining and perf. steel. You're not playing for the cup either so you don't need the top of the line skate, just something that feels good and isn't too high cost.

what does everyone mean by "last" after the skate width?

The last is basically the mold of what the boot is formed around.

Go with whichever fits your foot nicely. I just bought new skates today and I was deciding between the NBH Vapor XXII and the RBK 5K. Tried both in a 8.0D but the RBK was noticably wider and my foot was moving laterally inside the skate.
