For instate they are using a small carrier instead of UPS as they take 5-7 days even on instate stuff.

Use that metal stick to snap someone's composite if they go game 7.
I have been using the Tron basic goalie stick to play in an over 50 league. The stick is heavy but I like that because it has a very controlled flex which is nice when trying to control a stick save. I have had a couple shatter when hit with a very heavy slap shot or one timer. I want to try their chest protectors and leg pads, both need to be replaced and Tron seems to have very nice pricing and shipping costs. It is kind of funny that California seems to have more hockey super stores than the home of hockey in New England. The Tron sticks remind me of Koho sticks if that helps on the rebadging. Both are heavy, very well made and very flex controlled.
