Coming soon: Review of MLX Skates

In the next few weeks, I'm going to be lucky enough to get a pair of some of the fanciest skates on the market today: MLX Skates, the same kind used by Ottawa Senators defenceman Sergei Gonchar.

The real difference between MLX Skates and conventional ones is the customizability you can get (see more about that here). I don't want to overstate things, but I'm pretty sure it'll be enough to earn me a spot on the Ottawa Senators blue line. We'll see.

I'm waiting on the skates right now, but after giving them a test-run I'll post a review of whether or not I notice any difference in my game with them compared with my conventional skates.
