ThatCarGuy Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Warrior using more than just 90 and 45 degree angles in their graphics?! Looks like it could be a little busy but we'll see Appears to be no changes to the blocker and glove other than the potentially new double tee and maybe a thinner blocker sidewall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally refer to their breaks by using Koho glove models. Koho stopped making those gloves over 20 years ago. I'm going to order a Bauer glove with a GM12 break. Bet.

TheGoalNet Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I think Matthews has actually switched though... too lazy to look deeper I see like no pros in the new Bauer PowerFly tuuk holder or Hyperlite 2 helmet. Both of those topics interest me for player gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 As a parent of kids that play. The CCM holders are always a problem. My kids won't wear CCMs anymore. I've had that wheel thing break too many times. One kid had the actual holder snap mid game. Also had the goofy toe cap/boot connection on the outside break on two other skates. Really crappy when these issues occur mid game after driving hours to the rink. I'm pretty handy with clear shin pad tape. No more CCMs for my boys though. I understand how the NHL guys don't bother with them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look for it at youth levels first then these kids will eventually carry it onto the NHL. The new helmet is better than the 1. Again, hard to have NHL guys (creatures of comfort) change up their stuff. Same with youth carrying it into higher levels. My kids' teams mostly use the Bauer 150 helmet as they do team orders. The under $200 price for that helmet is a welcome addition to the nearly $1000 annual uniform cost per kid. The Hyperlite is closer to $400 I think.

I had a pair of CCM's with the XSG holder and they used plastic retaining screws, one of which snapped during warmups of an A-level men's league game for me. Fuckin pieces of shit.

New pros adapt way more to new technology than the previous generation of pros. I am with you that the Tuuks might be a wild change and "better" might be too "different", but the helmet makes no sense? I feel like your average pro adapts to the never helmet cycles?

ZeroGravitas Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 The manager at my store mentions he's been seeing a few of these of warping near the rear/trigger. These were engineered to be stiffer in the front and more flexible in the back. Maybe they're too flexible? I noticed getting the steel into these seems a lot more difficult than with the previous Tuuks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the kids on my team last season had the toe box of his CCMs actually fall off of his skate while he was putting them on so he just taped it back on so that he could play the game. So now he has bauers. Edited August 30, 2023 by Hockey34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
