Vet88 673 Report post Posted February 13, 2016 Eyelet extension (or Flex55, made mine but you can buy them) to permanently cure my lace bite regardless of what skates I am in. Anything else is trivial if you can't skate..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GunRunner 28 Report post Posted February 13, 2016 My Blackstone X01 sharpener. I love being able to have quality control of my sharpening, and also be able to do it whenever I wish.Yea, I forgot about my X-01. Just like shoot_the_goalie stated, it is nice to sharpen whenever I want to and control the quality myself. Whenever I sharpen a pair that I've never sharpen before, I throw the square on the skates and 99.9% of the time I get a good laugh and shake my head. I mean I sharpened a pair of skates recently that was almost 5 lines out of square. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOVECHKIN 3 Report post Posted February 13, 2016 I'm going with my Bauer Vapor X100 skates. After 2 months, they have exceeded expectations for me, as far break in, comfort, and performance. 2nd, Reebok Ribcore stick. To me, it's everything a high end stick should be!

Sputnik20 46 Report post Posted February 13, 2016 VH skates, which were completely overshadowed by Mako (not Mako II) which I bought two pairs for $150/ea CND back in December...which equated roughly $140 US including taxes and shipping.Then there were some real gems that I have either really wanted to have or been looking for...
