2014 catalogs?

[MikeWhy 39]

I really hope that the 2014 product catalogs for roller are just late to come out and its not that there won't be much change as far as new products. Please say this is the case.

??? Most of the new product isn't seen until the "big 3" in the summer (NARCh, StateWars, TORHS). Not quite sure why you expected catalogues this early. And it's easy to predict whats coming out....

New Mission

Bauer stays the same

New Tour

Around this time last year I wasn't on the site or even that involved in the game. So I'm still picking a lot up. Such as release dates as to what brands typically do. However I do consider myself savvy for how long I have been playing.

My apologies. Well anyways, there is your answer.

You will start seeing the new stuff at IIHF Worlds (May I believe), followed by TORHS (June) , then NARCh (July), and finally State Wars (August)

Anyone heard of anything big coming out this year?? Anything on the skate front?

Bauer/Mission has their sales meeting in March for their 2015 line which they debut at tournaments over the summer. Product usually arrives at stores in late summer.

So it sounds like inhalers are gonna be a big deal for another year and a half

The Mission line will be updated if that's what your wondering...

It's baffling that Tour is still around. Yuck.

What's wrong with Tour?

What's wrong with Tour?

Their skate quality has a track record of lasting as long as a wet paper towel.

Did you know my adult league has a Cobalt Q, a Cobalt 9.9, a Thor 909, and a Code E2 -- all Tours, all years old -- still going strong?

Completely agree about the durability as a whole when it comes to tour. As far as your specific instance QuanSuDude maybe you guys just lucked out. I myself have not heard or experienced anything but horror stories when it comes to their products.

As far as new stuff coming out when it comes to roller outside of Mission and Alkali I wouldn't really expect anything that great as far as innovation which is a real shame but if you are looking I would keep my eye on those two for top notch quality when it comes to roller.

The thor 909s might be the worst individual skate in hockey but at the same time just look at the price. In my area we even refer to the 909's when skates start breaking down. "his skates are starting to get the 909 crease"

With that said, if tour makes a hard push back into the market in an attempt to dominate that would be awesome. Having another roller brand with a wider boot would be great for me personally. Those blue skates look sick, very interested in seeing those things.
