montreal sticks

[number23 0]

Last year I played with a montreal 8500 opc stick. It was a light blue color and I loved it. Last week it mysteriously dissapeared out of the back of my truck. So I am trying to replace it preferably with the same or very similar stick. I found a new Montreal 8500 for $70 online but it is black and now called a 8500 nitro. It isn't one of the nano sticks, but it is carbon fiber. Does anyone know if this is the same as my old one or are they making them differenlty now? I talked with the LHS, but they no longer carry montreal's but said he thought they changed them. I loved the montreal because it wore like iron. I use it for roller hockey on a sport court so it has to have a solid blade not foam cored. Does anyone now if it will be the same?
