Miken hockey gone?

Heard a rumor they are no more?

[jimmy 194]

Well, considering a lot of hockey players are brand hooked (orient made stuff too), and not willing to try new brands, it would not surprise me.

[Zylos45 118]

that would be too bad.

Absolutely loved the Miken ZL. Heel finally started to fray this weekend after close to a year of heavy use and was about to search for a replacement.

My Razor Z9 is still the best stick I have ever had.

I found it odd they weren't at the Lets Play Hockey Expo, in their own state, earlier this year. Now with these rumors.....doesn't look good. Poor sales?

[jds 20]

I blame it on baseball. Actually, I blame a lot on baseball.

they havent updated their FB in some time too either, at least last i checked. I was about to ask this same question a week ago myself, i feel as though they are ending their hockey experiment =( oh well guess ill have to stockpile

Illustrates how hard it is to break into this market. I thought the ZL was worthy of going head to head with any of the big brand sticks. It's a shame really, I hoping they'd be able to establish themselves as a brand.

My Z9 was my favorite, too.

My Z9 was my favorite, too.

I didn't like the shaft shape and it wasn't durable for me but it was sure a great stick one95 blade like feel too!

They couldn't get into stores around here. I heard one chain was turned off by a high minimum initial order for sticks.

i feel they used the wrong approach in this respect. it seems like too many retailers are left with their clearance product. loved the like it gaurantee though.

My ZL finally went last night.

tried to take a snap shot and the blade went further than the puck ha ha

I am going to see if I can find a replacement on line...wish me luck

[Davetronz 109]

That sucks. Still like my gloves.

[beerleaguecaptain 999]

Bummer but can't say I am surprised. My ZL is awesome and I even bought a second. So hard to break into a brand conscious market without any NHL guys reppin your twigs.

Try Total Hockey. That where I got mine.

I sure hope not cause I'm such a huge supporter. Tried spreading the word and everything down here. Would be a shame. I'm really hoping not. If so, I gotta stockpile from TH.

[Davetronz 109]

Was anyone able to get a firm confirmation on this?

[Chadd 916]

I will be home on Wednesday, finally, and will send out a couple emails to folks from the company.

[fatwabbit 93]

I've been using the Z9 Razor and it has some wicked whip to it. Gonna look and see I can get more of this stick.

[skyscrape 5]

The Z9 was my favorite stick to date. The ZL not so much. It is too bad, even the local bauer rep had nothing but good things to say about it.

Any update on this perchance? Just started using the Z9 and love it. Would be a real shame if they went belly up.

Not sure who Chadd's contact is but i've emailed twice since the original post and left a voicemail and heard nothing back.

[Chadd 916]

I have heard nothing back from our contact in weeks. I think that is a pretty ominous sign, all things considered.

[chippa13 1844]

I guess they should change the slogan to: Miken....we don't play the game......seriously, we don't.

[Davetronz 109]

Hmmm,that's not good news. Keep us updated if you hear anything.
