1. What are your favorite skates of all time?
2. What is the most recent skate to perform and feel like the Daoust 501 or Micron Mega 1090?

Some of you younger guys may never have felt anything like the skates I've mentioned. IMHO, the market is missing something great it once had.

I'll put my vote in for the Daoust 501's. I never had the Micron Mega 1090's, but I remember them and wish I could find a pair.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:42:24 -0600 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49900 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49899 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:46:25 -0600 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49899 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49897 .

I did use quite a bit of glue + force to put it in a while back, so now it just doesn't want to come out.

with that 2 questions:
1) are there any tricks for extracting blades?
2) do I need to worry about overheating the shaft? my heatgun is pretty weak, so maybe the issue is quite opposite and I'm not heating the shaft enough, but I just don't want to burn anything you know

any advice would be appreciated!]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:25:34 -0600 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49894 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49892 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:41:12 -0600 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49892 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49891 If so, will a sharpening polish it? Or should I buy a used pair from Play It Again as a pair specifically for outdoors?

On a side note, a few years ago, a large pond of similar circumstances formed near my house. Almost everyday I would walk by it and test the ice, and scrape any snow off of it. Skating and playing on it (I didint have any equipment at the time) was and will be one of the best memories in my life. The peculiar activity of old-time pond hockey in the middle of urban Mississauga is quite an experience

so far i have gone through

2x s17s
1xse16
1x warrior dolomite
1xeaston syenergy s2
1x ccm U+ cl

all of these sticks have cracked at the blade and delaminated until they are break in half

I always tape my sticks and use stick wax, all my sticks are the same length and come up to m top lip on skates

although i had a warranty on my s17 (broken) and ccm (using now) it is starting to get very frustrating and expensive

any thoughts on why this is happening]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:21:46 -0600 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49889 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49888

I haven't played as much hockey as I used to lately. I used to skate 6 days a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day, but I got burned out and sort of stopped. I recently got back into it and I just made the new AIHL Shenandoah Sabrecats team.

I'm skating on a pair of Tour Code 1's that I got a week after they were released. They have gotten ridiculously floppy on me, and I'm getting lace bite like never before so I've agreed it's time for some new skates.

I've done all of my research on my foot in the past few days, but I can't really tell if it's narrow, or wide or things of that nature. I have found that the Tour toebox rips apart the outside of my big toe, and I have dried blood in the bottom of my skates. I don't skate with socks either though. The boot also isn't deep enough for me. If I place a pencil across the third eyelet done from the top it hits my ankle long before the skates, and that's where the lace bite is coming in at.


I've been looking at the new line of Mission skates. I haven't skated on missions since 2004 and they were the most uncomfortable things ever, and I tried a pair of Wicked 1s before I committed to my Code 1s and they were pretty stiff, but still somewhat comfortable.

So I ask are the new missions skates any deeper than the Tour boot? And I've skated on nothing but Vapors and Supremes for the past 6 years in ice and never had a problem with them, so I'm thinking the toebox will be a bit bigger. But as Bauer now owns mission, my Supremes in a D width were always pretty tight. Think I could get away with a standard D width in the new mission line? Or am I most likely looking at an EE?

And if the Missions seem like something I should stray away from, then what would you all suggest?

There isn't anywhere within 4 hours for me to try on any of these high end skates, which makes me feel pretty nervous about just committing to one or the other, so please help me out here guys as I'll be ordering these skates in the next couple of days.]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:39:37 -0600 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49878 http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49877 anyone use?
