Not so much when there's one or two guys skating around but when all 36 players have them. If that proves to not be a concern, I can't see why they wouldn't catch on if the performance advantages are what they claim!

We have not received any yet. I am all for technology but the bottom line is that a) Much like the criminals Batman hunted down, hockey players are a superstitious lot. Many skaters I deal with simply believe any change in blades will affect their skating (i.e. TUUK etc). b) They are cost prohibitive. $400 blades is astronomical. You gotta figure the only people who are going to use them are those with $400-$500 skates which would then have to have the blades removed and replaced...now up to nearly $1000 skates!!! Add to that breakage, etc...I just don't know. Every now and then someone comes up with something revolutionary in blades and sometimes it's a hit (from tube blades to TUUK) and most times it doesn't (see T-Blades).
