Just sent you a contact over there, Afaik Graf Canada is being run out of Vaughn's factory in London. They're still making skates as of a few months ago, but someone may have more current info than me.

R/GT2, not the pro version though.

Anyone else ever take a shot to the outer elbow? I caught a hard wrister there this morning, kind of disappointed in the elbow cup protection on my warrior c/a, but poor technique played a role also so it's my own damn fault. Pass across the hash marks to a shot just inside the far post. I was a little behind, so I chicken winged it and caught it flush on my right elbow. Immediate dead arm and I dropped my stick, couldn't finish the game from the pain. Anyways, 3 ibuprofen later and it's swelling up, but I have full range of motion again and it doesn't hurt that badly now.

The only brand from Asia I can think of is Hoapa, a D2C stick brand: https://hoapahockey.com/

I've finally ditched my X900's as I could never get away from ankle discomfort, I set up a pair of cowling-less graf's last year and have started wearing them. Unfortunately my feet are killing me even after 6-7 skates. I've baked them once so far. Can anyone suggest a set of insoles that would help? I have fairly wide/large feet (size 11 wide skates), not sure if that makes a difference. I've also been looking around at some of the newer models, does anyone with wide hooves like me have experience with the TF7/9's from True or the Bauer Konect line? I loved my 7500's and had no issues so that's why I went back to graf, but wondering if I should be considering something else.

Bona Hallikainen does all of Husso's masks, I love his style. So good.

The Wings have an equipment sale every year, I'm local and usually go. Could pick some up for you as there's usually plenty of stock. Not exactly sure on pricing as it seems to change year to year.

The guys in SDPN brought up a good point, this is kind of a shitty money grab by the Canes. Nothing like taking advantage of Hartford's misfortune and cashing in on an iconic logo that they killed.

utter perfection, IMO.

Jonas Gustavsson for Detroit, around 2014-15 if I'm not mistaken. He wore the original Ritual series and then G2's. There were a few other guys around that time also.

The next one, duh. No in all seriousness I don't have a favorite, but there's been pieces of each set I've worn that I really loved. So I should put together a set probably....? Old Reebok 580 was one of my first gloves, and it just worked so well. I've never been able to catch pucks as well as I could with that glove. I demo'd a 2X set for a few games, the pads just felt really natural and I played really well in them, they felt better than my G4's. Blocker I'm not too particular about but this has me thinking about getting a setup that works well for me, rather than being "loyal" to a particular line or brand.

Stuff like this guys can usually get away with if they're actually, ya know, winning games. Shit like this on top of terrible stats is a ticket to the AHL. Probably where Losington needs to be at this point. The fact that Husso is playing pretty well in Detroit has to sting a bit too.

So, looks like Kuemper is a win away from the Stanley Cup with a .898 save percentage. Woof.

A company I've come across on Instagram is ITR Hockey, I've never used them but could be another option for you: https://www.itrhockey.com/repair.html
