I broke my skate blade off a shot in practice last night. Believe me this is not the first time this has happened but I’m at the point where I could use new skates anyways… if it comes down to it i’ll just get some new blades at great skate. I am newer to the b-lo area SOOO…my question for nyspeed is this… _Where else in the could I get BAUER skates_? Throw some shops names out there if you have any! I have already went to the following shops; Leisure, holiday and great skate. They do not have my size.☹ Thanks in advance -Paul ---

Online. Great Skate is really the only hockey oriented shop around. If you know your size… the internet has much better specials, pricing, and availability than anywhere local. ---

If that’s not an option, try Dick’s or Laux (although, I don’t know what they have as far as selection). ---

I have researched online and to be honest, the new line of bauers is no cheaper online for the most part. Believe me I have always been a fan of online buying but… -i really would like to have them for practice tonight - I would really like to try them on, and get them baked today ---

Thinking back 7 or 8 years ago, I liked them a lot. I don’t know how I would feel about them at the present time. Graf was a premier skate manufacturer back then, with everyone trailing behind. Now the Nike/Bauer merger, and RBK have made HUGE strides in R&D as well as quality/durability/comfort. Years ago, you never heard of RBK making hockey equipment… Now I’ll only use their gloves and sticks, and probably nothing ever again as long as they make stuff. ---

yea i wouldnt go to laux or dicks for skates … definatly hit up great skate or the pepsi center… and i know holiday rink has always had a lot of bauer skates in their pro shop. If you go to great skate ask for matt brown if hes working thats my cousin tell him eric said hes a cocksucker maybe he will give you a deal [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-me-hockey-guys-chime-in/58418.md?page=2)
