ive had two tinted visors. Wouldnt go chrome but the smoke tint is better then the clear. Had a bauer and now I have a oakley.
my x60 skates come in tomorrow hopefully ill have some time to bake them before my game thursday


I need a new pair of elbow pads. Was gonna pick up the Bauer Supreme One80s anyone use them?

[MutR.]

im looking to buy skates but i cant decide between Reebok 4k pumps or Bauer vapor X20. Both are in my price range. Which line of skate do you guy prefer? i know these are on the lower end so im not expecting anything amazing. I like the pump but does it really work? i have a pretty narrow ankle so if the pump actually does what it says then that would be a huge plus for me

[Lou Dogg]

I have vapor x30's, and from my understanding the difference between those and the x20 is pretty minimal. Those skates are ****ing amazing. I absolutely love them.

[MutR.]

i wish i had a LHS in my area so i could go try **** on.

Do you think Cabelas sells skates?

[Lou Dogg]

Probably. I got mine online from hockeygiant. Just go to a store to try on a few pairs to see if you like the feel and get them online for cheaper.

Whats wrong with them?

I would upgrade to the vapor x40s prices are low because the new vapora line is comming out in a couple days. Id check out hockeymonkey.com they have them pretty cheap

[MutR.]

$250 is a bit steep for me. Next year when i dont have to buy EVERYTHING, then ill probably get some better skates, but right now i literally have to buy everything, so i can deal with a cheap skate while i learn

Ive been doing most of my "shopping" on hockeymonkey. i went to hockeygiant and trying to browse their website is annoying and all the prices seemed pretty much the same.

[NeCanes]

Try craigslist and buy used gear. you'll save some money and upgrade it as you play more. Skates are worth spending the cash on if you plan to slate thru the year and your feet are done growing. They will last you a long time but eithera way Id stick with the bauers over rbk tho.

[esteban mendez]

hockeymonkey is a good site. I would just prefer to get a cheaper vapor variant. it's a good skate. maybe check out a local shop and make sure of your size. don't want anything too narrow or tight etc.

nooooooooooooooo!!!

Go to www.icewarehouse.com and purchase a $10 IW shirt and you'll get 10% off any order you make from there for life. I love that website.

But, you get what you pay for in skates. Just keep that in mind

[MutR.]

ill definitely look into that!

[weso98]

For skates go used, i got a pair of $600 graf goalie skates, for $200 from goaliemonkey.com I know they have a separate players site aswell.

[MutR.]

not a chance. i have a thing about wearing other peoples shoes. My skates will be new for sure.

Didn't you almost debut pro, maybe that isn't you. Graf is the way to go skate wise.

Ive played junior, with offers from michigan state, not pro but yeah. And yeah i will only use grafs.

[bcfan25]

Don't know if it was said yet but try on skates at a local shop if you have one, the sizes are TOTALLY different from shoe sizes. Usually about 2-3 size difference.
