from the Toronto Star,
Gretzky is plugging a new, battery-warmed skate blade that melts ice to give its wearer — so the endorsements contend — more speed with less work and overall, a better hockey experience.
Hey, is it too late for the Leafs to place an order?
The Thermablade inventor, Calgarian Tory Weber, says the steamy steel is not a novelty item, like Cooperalls, nasal strips or pyramid power. The 43-year-old, who spent more than $5 million over five years to bring his idea to market, believes the “fairly simple physics” behind the electronic blade will revolutionize hockey for competitive players.

Until the 200-foot extension cord is factored in.

I play hockey and I’m often having to replace my blades. So I wonder how much the < a rel=“follow” href=“http://www.appliancepartspros.com “> appliance parts </a> will cost for these, cos it probably wont be worth it if I have to keep buying new expensive blades. And I fear all the ice will melt during a game if everyone has a pair of these. They will be trying to market rocket skates soon zooooooooooom!

With players mentioning that the new Edge jerseys are drowning their gloves and skates in their own perspiration, an electric skate seems like a risky proposition.
For now, anyway.
