dEv~ 19 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Here's what I'd buy off the bat...Bauer Vapor X15 Ice Hockey Skates Sr 10 - $89.95Bauer 1500 Hockey Helmets w/Cage - $42.95Bauer Vapor X20 Hockey Shin Guards Sr 10 - $26.99Bauer Vapor X20 Hockey Elbow Pads Sr 10 - $22.99Bauer Hard Ice Skate Blade Guards Black - $7.99IW Hockey Helmet / Shield Bag Black - $6.99I don't really have any reason to pick Bauer stuff but that's what I did.If it's serious enough I'll get some shoulder pads and hockey pants, jock, and some better sticks.I decided on the Bauer Supreme ONE40 Ice Hockey Skates Sr 10 - $124.95.Obviously a bit more expensive than I originally intended to pay but from what read it leaves me a little more room to grow with them as a learn the game.Any other thoughts? I'm trying to muster up the courage to pull the trigger here. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I used to wear Lange's forever. Remember those hard black plastic skates that weigh a tonne? I loved them though. Anyway, I now own Reebok 5K with the pump. I really like them, but there's something a little bothersome about them. Is it possible to get a flatter blade put on them?

Is it possible to get a flatter blade put on them?Take them to either a pro equipment guy or a really good hockey shop and ask to have them custom rockered. They will cut them to a radius you want, and that will put more of the blade in contact with the ice... Link to post Share on other sites

He keeps asking me what what the pump is for since he does not feel any difference.I imagine that you can exchange the blade. Me personally as an ankle burner would not know the difference in blades.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Are the skates Dev bought still pretty good for someone who is beyond just starting out, but still not a great skater? Im pretty crappy at things like crossovers and turning on a dime.This thread was the final nail in my 10yr old skates coffin. I want something better.I guess I could do as Chris said, just go try on a bunch of stuff, but if anyone has a recommendation for a good pair, let me know. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This is getting me the hockey bug...I REALLY want to play..Watching Adrian every week has renewed my interest in getting out there .I think I will go buy some skates this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Serge, have you played in a league?My buddy Sam has started learning skating just this year, and I think in the summer hes gonna try to get a team going in a beginner league, or at least get like 5/6 of us onto another one. Im prob gonna go play with him, cause my current team has just been upgraded to way too high a level. (Im a D/E player, we just got bumped to B, with some serious A teams)Either that or a bunch of us are trying to put together some shinny (Brandon is in this)Let me know if your looking. Same goes for you Wayne if your interested. Link to post Share on other sites

I have always been a bauer guy (except for getting a brief sponsorship from Graf, but I didn't love the 702). Because the widths and footbed angles are different from brand to brand, find what you feel good on, and what feels good on YOU, and go with the most expensive skate you can afford in that line.... we're adults, and unless you're playing 4 or 5 days a week, you wont go through those skates for 10 years...

Its a bit embarrasing when my 5 year old can skate circles around me. He is like "I can teach you how to skate daddy".I am definetely interested and if its a summer league, I can practice my skating now and maybe be ready to at least try and play with you guys.If that doesnt work, ill just come cheer you guys on and enjoy the after game beers..

If you guys can skate on a couple of days notice, we could take some (prob around 150 for the hour), and just have a stick and puck skate. Bring your kids.. Link to post Share on other sites
