Kor Hockey NO MORE?

[A2rhino 63]

Wanted to know if Kor is still making skates or if they are a thing of the past. Their site is no longer up.

[Fletch 219]

I'm sure it's just temporarily down.

[A2rhino 63]

Not good for business thats for sure. Does ANYONE know whats going on wiht this??

[Fletch 219]

I agree....and now there's a placeholder page for it.

Their main site is still up -

Checked the whois -

Looks like it expired and they forgot about it, then renewed it on Friday. They probably have to point the server to it.

[A2rhino 63]

Can always count on JR for the answer!!

Thanks man

The KOR site is currently down for upgrading, it should be up again in a few days.

Just wondering, is there any more information oon the court case that was being discussed in this thread?

No. That thread is filled with speculation. No need to get into that.

It certainly seems like KOR is gone. No website, no phone access, no fax working, no emails answered. Unless it's a holiday in Mexico, something's up.

Does that make my Shift 2's collector's items? ;)

It doesn't look good. My tendon guard broke recently on my shifts that I bought last spring. I tried to email Kor last week, but got no response. I wanted to get in touch with Dave Woronuk, who provided me with excellent customer service when I was buying the skates. Unfortunately, I couldn't get through to Dave via phone either. Now I'm stuck with a pair of broken skates that have only been skated on 15 or 20 times. I'm screwed...

Darn, why is it always after I've paid my invoices do companies go out of business. For once it'd be nice for them to disappear with me still owing money.

I don't know how bad your tendon guard issue is, but if it's not too bad you can probably get it fixed at a shoe repair shop if KOR does happen to be finished. I hope not because I do like their product and also received good customer service in the past when asking about baking instructions ect.

Yeah there is something definitely up, I've never had problems with contacting them but they sent me a wrong size single skate and I haven't heard from them since which I think is odd.

Gear takeover?

[kovalchuk71 212]

Been discussed in 500 topics. Its a KOR SMU for HG

[Ogie Oglethorpe 14]

What Kovy said. ePuck is one of HockeyGiant's many shills for their retail version of the shell game

[stick9 903]

Dave is the majority shareholder of Kor Hockey/Manufacturing and you aren't the only one who is looking for him... ;)

That doesn't sound good. :o

I hope this is just a glitch. Kor was a skate I was very interested is checking out.

[Hockeydog 8]

So is the "Gear " brand HockeyGiants? I have never really paid attention to that brand before thinking it was a very low price point brand.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

Yes, it's a house brand.
