They said on the first game back that they are a custom setup from some friends of his. Not a name brand. You’ll notice no logos because every brand must pay a $50k fee to the NHL to allow their logo to be seen. Errey said something about the skates being “extremely stiff, more stiff than any other skate on the market” and made specifically to Gonchar’s specs. They also made some mention to something about Paul Coffey, but I didn’t really catch that part of it.
