bunnyman666 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 As one of a select few Overdrive Blade dealers, I just got a few more sets in! These have actually been a great seller for me! I still want to shanelessly pimp these as I am hot on them for injury prevention! I am hoping to offer a bunnyman666 exclusive option for these blades, so keep your eyes peeled as hopefully, I can add this exclusive option. I have not gotten confirmation, so I can’t confirm. If you’re in the USA or Europe, I can cut you a deal. If you’re in Canada, go to overdriveblade.com. Mods: I have no problem if you need to move this to the for sale pages.

insertnamehere Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Used Overdrive blades for probably a dozen years, they're great! I'd still be using them if I hadn't gone cowlingless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyGrips13 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Sounds interesting. I recently had replacement Cobra cowlings put on my Graf 750 skates. According to the overdrive site I’d need to alter the cut out to install the blades. I’m about as handy as a Park Avenue trophy wife, though.

loki1416 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Would love to give them a try but my rink banned them. If you get caught with them, your out for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki1416 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 @bunnyman666 The rinks thinking is that someone will get hurt. That the extra blades pose a risk of cutting someone. This place is so anal about a lot of things. Worst rule is no camera's on the glass, attached to the net in any way, or on the ice. Can't even record someone for future play back in chalk talks.

creasecollector Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Not going to lie, I hadn't heard about these until now. I had to google what they were. Found this image on InGoal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Cooper Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Not sure which league you are playing in but I had the same issues with my league here in Toronto and I lobbied them hard to give me the opportunity to suction cup my GoPro on the glass so I could move it each period. Following some back and forth with refs for my last two games the league finally talked to them so I should be good here on out for video taping. You should do the same in your league. Just go straight to the league Manager. Not sure about that extra blade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is going to get hurt, it won’t be from that blade. The blade, if installed correctly, merely gives a firm, flat surface that prevents the skate from slipping at the cowling. Sounds like this rink has a no fun rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyGrips13 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I usually get my skates sharpened by the rink manager at Avon Old Farms prep school. He said when Jonathan Quick was there he wore overdrive blades. They painted them white to match the cowlings so they’d go unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go at the league from that standpoint. "Are you banning a protection device for my groin? Like a Helmet for my head? Cant my helmet head butting another player be more damaging than a device on the bottom of my skate, protected by my pads, that has no contact with a player?" Easily winnable argument.
