New Tour skate

[Hoffer 0]

On a news article on the PIHA website it states this “Throughout the evening guests will get to participate in an incredible raffle compliments of Tour Hockey. The big ticket items include the brand new top-secret never-been-seen " Cobalt Q Skates" that will be making their public debut in St. Louis. The skates which retail for over $450 will be one of the many fantastic items…” Does anyone know anything about this new Cobalt Q Skate at all?

Since it is "top-secret-never-seen-before" and making its public debut, save Tour employees, I'd guess no.

Would that not be pretty soon for a new top of the line skate from tour? Since the Code Carbon only came out around June? I would be guessing it will feature the new labeda wheel they had at State Wars.

well someone from tour told me they are probably going to drop the genesis wheel and put on the fuzions.. labeda just came out with a white fuzion wheel. yes the code carbon just came out. but the code 1 has been out for a while.. so why not drop the carbon to the 2nd top line skate and make this tour masterpiece the number 1

Hoffer,

CJ will be in town in a few weeks, he's comming back for a wedding. He's also going to play in the Iron Man @ the blast. Maybe we can get some details from him when we see him.

Wow, word travels quick there Quinn. hahaha.

Yeah, time for a shameless plug for the Iron-man...

Where: The Blast in York, PA (www.theblast.net)

When: Nov 9th @ 8pm

$$$: $30 a player, goalies are free.

Who: 16 years and over please.

Contact: Feel free to hit me up with an email if you want to play.

And yes, CJ will be there, and more then likely will be wearing whatever new prototype Walt has sent to him this week. :D I'll see if can take a few pics for our online fans here.

Hmmm, Frank frank I'd like to play net for that iron man tourney that weekend.

I believe I played with you once at that "bring your team" iron man at ssc. You, erik, zach, and scotty were on a team with mike burke. I was playing for hollenbush's team in net. Hoffer knows who I am.

This is a quote from a letter regarding the PIHA St. Louis Draft party which will take place this weekend, "Throughout the evening guests will get to participate in an incredible raffle compliments of Tour Hockey. The big ticket items include the brand new top-secret never-been-seen " Cobalt Q Skates" that will be making their public debut in St. Louis. The skates which retail for over $450 will be one of the many fantastic items which also include the Code Carbon skate, Carbon GX Goalie skate, Aviator one piece stick, plus gear bags and hats." So there might be some pics of the new skates next week... ;)

Anyone go to the draft party?

[LoXish 0]

I was going to, but held off. I have a game up there tomorrow, I'm sure they'll have the Q around, I'll see if I can get some images.

i got a call from some guy at work today, he said he was at total hockey and some guy walked in who went to lindenwood with some gold skates that had the new dynasty II wheel with the teflon hub. i assume that it was brandon barnett with the new cobalt Q. he said the skate had "bling" so i dont know if it looked good or tacky but the pictures will settle that.

Here are some pictures of the new skate from the PIHA draft party.

Who here went to the draft party? Hoffer? You go?

[Swiss17 0]

Wow. I thought the silver was bad, but now they just went overboard. Those are probably the worst looking skates ive ever seen.

[D-MaN88 0]

I was about to also say, the gold is just ridiculously ugly. Seriously, those are the most hideous things I have ever seen.

[LoXish 0]

Well for some reason the rink didn't have any of them there even though they were debuted there and the draft party was there... you'd think they would have -- oh well... I'll have to catch them when they go retail.

[oldtimer72 0]

best lookin part of the skate is the black labeda chassis....anyone from Tour or Labeda know if that chassis will be available to purchase on its own?

[ATLstealth09 0]

Those white ones don't look half bad!

[kukakid 0]

I can deal with the white and silver ones, but man those gold ones are UGLY!

[Spreedizzle 1]

Proof yet again of just how good my Code 1's are, and that I see no reason in the near future to purchase another pair of skates.

Hideous!!

[kovalchuk71 212]

Those are the worst looking skate I have ever seen. Thank goodness I cant fit into Tours anyways

[Hoffer 0]

No I was not at the draft party. The skates are defiantly aggressive looking and have a unique color choice. They sort of remind me of the gold tinted skate that Easton made a couple years ago. But if they perform and fit the best when I need new skates I would wear them.
