What are those? Are they an old model or just a regular 709 that aren't very stiff?

They are the original 709 model. As you probably know, the 709's all have that rectangular leather strip that juts down the side of the ankles. Well originally, they had a functional purpose. The stiffeners slide into those Leather pockets.

I like them without the stiffeners, but maybe I'll put them in down the road if I notice any breakdown. Back in the day, My Dad would take our boots to the luggage repair shop or a saddle maker and get the ankles stitched up to stiffen them, LOL. hard to believe we skated on those flapjacks. Sometime I'll post a picture of my Dad's gear. you'll flip. Kangaroo skin Canadian Cycle and Motor Works Tackaberry skates and Stall & Dean Puckmaster gloves. Ahh, Hockey is the best thing ever.

Are you fucking kidding me? Where's the hidden camera? No one can be this stupid. It's the post right above your retarded blathering.

Hey asshole, actually I'm talking about the one's that look like they say 501 on the back. Maybe I didn't realize it was the same person posting different skates and you should just chill out. And of course, a retard wouldn't have noticed that there were two different pairs of skates posted on this page.

Oh so you meant the ones that say DAOUST on them? Sorry, I overestimated you and thought you could read but not comprehend. I guess you can't do either.

...and I thought my brother has a warped way of trying to rationalize his gaffes.

*edit* - that just sounds awkward, but after a night of cramming and 45 solid minutes of sleep followed by a day filled with two exams at approximately 12 hours at the rink (only 2.5 of which I was on the ice for), I'm too damn tired to sit here trying to find a way to make it smoother - mostly because my brain can be compared to a scrambled egg at this point, which means I likely wouldn't be able to make it any better, even if I sat here and tried.

It is hard for me to comprehend something that doesn't even appear to be in english. Where are these skates made?

I would absolutely be putting my bedding into the washer if I laid my gear out on it...

That's what I was thinking since I've never heard of them. They also look very similar to Grafs IMO.

[mack 44]

I assume Google has been taken down or something, even if they've been talked about on the boards for as long as it's been up.

[Steve123 0]

Didn't find anything on Google, but there are a few topics and from what it sounds like they were actually made in either Canada or U.S from what I understand.

[mack 44]

They were owned by Canstar for as long as I can remember.

I'm guessing the cage for games and the shield for reffing/coaching?
