raganblink 82 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 I wonder how much abuse goes on during the programs. We told our employees its for them and them only & if they aren't wearing the skates they'll be in trouble. It makes it a little easier to control when you only have 8 employees though ha.

Rankin2 2 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Although yes the programs are abused quite abit what happens if you plain just dont like the skates? I got the mako deal and didnt like them at first. I was very, very close to giving up and getting rid of them. I have nexus coming my way and its my first time trying a stiff composite boot and the nexus fit.. what happens if I hate them?

Read more I imagine a lot. I was talking to the Reebok/CCM rep in our area a couple of weeks ago (who was a previous HG employee), he said as much as they don't condone it, there really isn't anything they can do about it, and he's seen it happen time and time again.

MrData 93 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Picked up my two dream sticks in the past few weeks. The T100 is awesome, and I'm going to try out the EK15 for the first time tomorrow.Pure sexiness:Also, I put some TUUK LS2 holders with LS3 runners on my Graf G535s skates. Tried them out in pickup today, and they felt great. Definite improvement over the Attack holders. Edited March 5, 2014 by MrData Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been thinking about getting one lately, but I wanted to hear the straight poop on how it feels, plays, etc. Read more Do yourself a favour and get one. Puck feel is unreal. Best I've ever felt (maybe even a bit better than the EK15, and definitely better than a TotalOne). Shaft stiffness is comparable to Bauer. Shooting is awesome, as the blade is very stiff. The stick is heavier than most top-end sticks (but comparable to Warrior DT1 in weight - 450g), but the balance is great. As for durability, I can't talk about that, because I haven't had it for long. However, after a few intense shooting sessions and a few games, the stick is still 99% intact (some very minor marks/scratches). If you're in Canada, hockeysupremacy.com has them for $138 if you input the code "welcome" when the stick is in your cart. Shipping is free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IPv6Freely 2100 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Our team wears the old 2010 Penguins winter classic jerseys (which are supposed to be worn with navy pants/helmet/gloves), but everyone on my team wears all black. So while I'd personally prefer to wear my navy gear, it makes more sense to match everyone else.That said, it's VERY hard to find stuff that is BLACK and light blue. Navy/light blue is easy. So when I saw these, I jumped on them. Reebok 16K "custom" pants from TotalHockey:I bought them without ever trying them on, but I'm honestly shocked at how well they fit. I haven't bought new pants in years because I couldn't find anything I liked more than the One60 pants I had. These are FAR more comfortable (especially in the waist where my gut is). I almost think I wouldn't need suspenders with these (but will wear them anyway). Edited March 6, 2014 by OptimusReim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not necessarily a good thing for me as I actually like how flexible the one60s are, but I'm sure for many it's a positive. The tailbone protection is infinitely better than in the one60. The leg zippers are the larger plastic ones, which I prefer (so they don't catch when zipping them up). And then for me I find the belt to be much better. It's in a better place (a bit higher up than on the one60, which is good for somebody with a gut). I haven't worn them in a game yet, but I'm pretty excited to do so now.
