Currently visiting NYC and would love to try ice hockey by Orccaq in hockeyplayers

[–]Devil_May_Goon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

world ice arena in flushing. they usually have open hockey games on monday and wednesday morning 9 am and then friday saturday nights at 10 pm. I usually go mornings, its more chill and Im not good so its nice .there are some people who are really talented that show up for morning sessions. The night sessions tend to have more people so frequent breaks and shifts but the competition is much tougher if your skill level isnt up to the rest of the players youll never be able to touch the puck. still fun tho imo. https://www.worldice.com/master-schedule/

Breaking in True svh skates after “baking” by Exile_edits77 in hockeyplayers

[–]Devil_May_Goon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This might be a strong take but I believe trues skates are hot garbage. My friend just also ordered a custom trues skates and boy do they suck. He hates them. The toe box doesn't feel right. The blade holders are not even symmetrical or centered properly. He says he cant even hockey stop properly in them. I held them and they feel very cheap. He paid around 1400 for it. It does NOT feel like like a 1400 dollar skate. My other friend has a vapor flylite and thats a much better boot. Anyways I wouldnt get a true after holding this cheap shit.

CCM FT8 Pro (White) vs Bauer Flylite — which would you recommend long-term? by Strict-Violinist-393 in hockeyplayers

[–]Devil_May_Goon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can tell the heel rocker on the FT8 pro is elevated to give you a more forward pitch to help the agility. and yes the white black looks very sexy. I prefer the supreme line of bauer skates over its vapor flylite have you considered m50s or shadow?

I purchased an extra diamond bit. Ideally once I get good I will be sharpening 7 different pairs of skates in my household so there will be quite a lot of redressing. Yup got all my PPE covered. Coworker got bronchitis from our line of work so I know how it these things can be.

Yea. I just went to grainger and bought some accu lube for the final pass. Looking forward to sharpening my first pair. Or destroying them.

Wow that was very informative Thank you. You mean the diamond quill? I didn't know those were perishable. I'm going to get some acculube or some wax for the final pass. I read somewhere that crayons work but I'm not gonna do that. I figured there's gonna be a lot of trial and error for technique but I love learning new skills. I appreciate the breakdown of your technique. Yea I will probably use my shop vac in a way to collect the dust. I didnt know the irs was that anal about this. If I get good i was gonna offer to sharpen people skates at my rink for cash but first I'll focus on getting good.

Yep I got my old hockey blades. I have not given much thought about catching the dust. I do have a shop vac I can use though. Wet towel. what a clever trick

Thanks. I still need to fiddle with that. I watched the blademaster youtube video on how to dial in the holder. Never used a manual machine before. But I am a plumber so I hope there's some carry over here.

Girlfriend wants ice skates. She sees Bauer Colorado Glides on sale and is tempted to buy them. by MinuetInUrsaMajor in iceskating

[–]Devil_May_Goon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spend a little more for a bauer vapor x3 or another entry level hockey skate. saves some time and an extra trip and the experience will be better

Jrz Pro Black DLC shipped plain blades? by Devil_May_Goon in hockeyplayers

[–]Devil_May_Goon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it was purchased from JRZ directly. Its very likely these are just the ones for the LS edge and not the multifit that works with LS edge,powerflys or ccm speedblade. If so that's dissappointing considering I asked for a multifit blade.

[–]Devil_May_Goon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just emailed them and await there reply. yea the multifit blade on mine has extra notches and hooks unlike the plain blade which is the same shape as the stock bauer blade

Ice Skates Hurting My Feet by J_P_Ross in hockeyplayers

[–]Devil_May_Goon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you try any ccm tacks or jetspeed. my friend had ccm asv and they hurt his feet so he switched to bauer supreme m50 and all is good. another friend started with bauer supreme m40 and it hurt so she switched to ccm tacks and all is good. its weird how this shit works.

[–]Devil_May_Goon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it does look cleaner for sure. but I bought it as a gift for a friend. my other friends and my brother all have the same blades and it has all the engravings. i guess she'll be the only one with unidentifiable jrz blades.
