— No luck in finding hockey skates in the Loo. Even blundered into a store called Total Hockey, which had totally lame service. No better online, which might mean a lot of duck tape and super glue for the old blades this winter.

— Apparently something got spilled on the remote yesterday, causing widespread panic and National Guard deployment, but Shey Fey (as she always does) came to the rescue.
— Best quote from Dr. Brei during Loo road trip yesterday, on why he can't play pickup hoops: "I'm afraid something would break - or fall off."

Grey tape and WD-40 can fix almost anything a screwdriver cannot. I love my tools and my TOOL.
No hockey skates online? What the hell are you looking for?
Calm down, Holmes ... I'm just saying size 13 skates are hard to find. I finally had to contact skatemonkey, and sure enough, they have one brand made in a 13 ... could not find Bauer, CCM or Easton in 13s.

Out of your price range, Watson?
Wait, those are EE. We're fitting your foot, not your head.

So, what's the accuracy of all these skate sites that I've found that claim that you need to buy a skate 1-1.5 sizes smaller than your shoe size? If that is the case you need a 11.5-12. Unless you wear a 14-15 shoe.

Okay, not Easton, Bauer, or CCM, either. Are hockey players supposed to be small?
Size 14 shoe. Would that be a size 12.5 or 13? What did you finally find?
Thanks for all the links. I wear a size 14 shoe, so I need a size 12 1/2 to 13 skate. Remember, this is basically for pond hockey during Quincy's two weeks of winter, so getting a boot that's a little big is not a bad thing (think thick socks). I'm not worried about performance - I'm a slow skater, I just need something that's comfortable. I am leaning toward the RBK model from hockey monkey.
next time in STL, check out "Johnny Macs" in South County STL.
As a matter of fact I did check out Johnny Macs. They did not have size 13 skates, but the clerk was very helpful and got me pointed in the right (online) direction. Kinda sad that Total Hockey was totally lame but I was glad JM at least tried to help.

I wear a 15, so I've bought stuff from here.
