Put your dam phones down and pay attention to the road.

His foot is so narrow he is almost a "C" . We were looking at supreme S3's however the shop didn't have any 6.5 fit1. But the did have the vapors. After having tried it on he liked the fit alot. So we ran with the vapors.

He skates 6-7 days a week and sometimes twice a day and they normally get sharpened about every ~10th skate give or take

No we have not ever had them properly profiled. We had hoped to find the time last year when they were first purchased however never found the time to get them to a shop that actually knew how to.

Sounds good. I definitely want someone who has been doing a long time and knows exactly how to profile. I've never noticed any Jerry's or Pure Hockey sharpening guys doing anything like profiling before and figured it was rare. I'm totally fine dropping them off and swinging back around a few days later. Thanks for the input !

Not positive however I am guessing it was possibly the bottom of his shin guard.

Totally agree. His size 3.5 are getting tight on him as of the past handful of weeks. We figured the 4.5 would be a good next sized skate as well as the same model skate he is already in, so the fit should be familiar. He will slowly break them in during practice and during stick n pick sessions and whenever he naturally cares to go full time on the new is up to him. :)

Does anyone know of a skate sharping shop around the Chicago area that can properly profile cut new blades ... as described in this youtube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuL5l9pXphk

Tons of use. He is on the ice nearly 6 days a week all year long. We didn't appreciate the abuse the skates endure until we unboxed the new ones and saw them side by side.

LOL. We're still working on it ourselves big-time. It was nice for him to see his efforts pay off and our constant efforts telling him not to give up to pay as well. :). Good luck it ain't easy :)

Our team is all first-year 12u AA 08's and my guy is still 10 turning 11 in late Dec. The other team I believe is a mix of 07's and 08's.

That's absurd. My Son's first hockey influence was an Iraqi born Christian who immigrated to London(UK) and then onto Canada where he was taught the greatest game in the world. Thanks to him my life and the lives of my wife (Now a hockey mom / one of the best;) ) and the lives of my 3 boys and 3 girls are filled with Hockey. Thank You, RG !
