You boys need to come to ATL where the REAL hockey is! Im like you, I play 3 times a week, coach bantams twice a week and this year am involved with the local travel team. Next year my son will be able to play with me and his grandfather in the local mens league. I cant wait for that.
www.atlantahockey.org I was a Tacks wearer my whole life and when it came time to upgrade, i could not find a pair of the newer versions that fit my feet, so i went to the highly recommended Grafs. OMG, the BEST skate i have ever worn by far. They make 3-4 different footbeds for all differnt kinds of feet, so to say they dont fit your feet, means you tried on the wrong type.

Rattl,
I think had I gone with the 705's they'd have worked better for me. Graf makes a really nice boot. I am just a CCM guy at heart. I really love these Pro Tacks, by far the best I have ever skated on. They're really stiff and I don’t lace my skates very tight so it took some getting used to. I love the lace lock because I prefer a little more tightness in the lower eyelets and a bit looser up top. The issue I had with the G-5 Ultra’s is they were really low cut. The 705’s are more of a traditional boot and they might have worked better. When you buy the top of the line skates from any of the big guys it’s really only about personal preference, I think all the top skates are so good these days. My over 40 team is sponsored by a local Hockey Shop so it’s pretty easy for me to switch skates like I did with the G-5's. The shops owner is a guy I have done business with for 25 years and his son moved back from Atlanta 4 years ago where he played a ton of hockey. My little Flyers Squirt Major team travels huge and I expect them to contend for the national championship in Tier 1 AAA. We recruited very heavy to fill the gaps in our team, I am looking forward to our opening Tournament in Rochester the last weekend in Aug. Saturday afternoon is “mens” day at the hockey shop and some of my over 40 team mates hang out there and shoot the chit. I take my 10 month old son with me. I tried on the Easton S15’s. Wholly Chit they’re the lightest skates I have ever seen and they fit like slippers. Had they been out when I bought the Pro Tacks they may have been the call.

If Bending Branches still made sticks I wouldn't use a composite stick.
(edited since I misread what you had written) I agree that kids should learn how to play with a wood stick). When I was little we just cut them down... Bill Last edited by 911boost; 06-21-2007 at 08:26 AM.. |

Have had this hanging in my garage for a few years. Found out it's worth a few bucks, so time to move it inside.

I have a dozen pairs of SKATES hanging in my garage and 200 sticks. I think I should post a pic of the skates what do you guys think?
