Gefiltefish 9 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 I am thinking about getting back into ice hockey again. Its been a while and my last ice stint was fairly short...I find that the Tour skates fit me well for roller but they obviously don't make an ice hockey skate. I was wondering what Tour users skate with when playing ice hockey. Right now I am leaning towards the Bauer Flexlite line.Obvioulsy I know that I have to try skates on, but the only LHS I have around here pushes CCM and Easton only. They don't carry much for Reebok and Bauer. I could drive 2-hours to another shop (Total Hockey), but they don't carry certain skates I want to try like the Flexlites. At this point I think I am just going to order through IceWarehouse since they have free return shipping. I can just go trial/error until I find something that works. The less amount the better though!Also, I know zilch about proper sharpening. I am a big guy (6'0, 275lbs) and think that transitioning from roller would mean that I want a flat set-up without a lot of rocker. Personal preferences aside of course. Any advice there?

I did need to profile my steel to an 11 foot radius to get that flatter feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
