My Skates, R.I.P.

The Devils won a hard-fought game against the Sabres, and now we’re tied for second an in the playoffs. Awesome. I and the rest of the defense was awesome this game, allowing only two goals (that’s really good for C-level roller hockey!).

On a sad note, the chassi on my right skate completely broke all the way through, so I didn’t play too much, and when I did, I was wobbling. I don’t see any way of replacing without spending as much money as just buying new skates…

I’m on the lookout for some cheap, even second-hand skates, preferrably Mission brand. Any leads?

    I talked to a sales guy at Inline Sports, which is only 10 minutes away from where I work, and he said it broke because I had a welded chassi, which they don’t make those kind anymore. They all are one-piece constructions now.

    Great. I guess that’s why it was only $50. Sorry A.J.

    Just the usual places, hockeygiant, hockeymonkey, penaltybox and epuck (all .com). I reccommend Tour skates. My new ones are awesome (Red Max), but really, you should stick to the brand you are familiar with, or feels comfortable to you. Just remember, that there are only 2 things that can make an immediate difference to your game, your skates and your stick. The best or most expensive stick or skates are not really important, its what you like, and what feels comfortable to you. For example, the best player i have ever played with or against, uses a pair of $25 recreational skates and a $30 wood stick!!
