Thanks to all our early adopters for diving in and starting to buy and sell hockey equipment with friends at
Cusada.com! Since we allowed only one prize per family, we still have a shooting pad available for the person who posts the most new items from July 13 through July 20! Plus, we’re offering a signed copy of 7 Pre-Game Habits of Pro Hockey Players to the first person to post a new item on July 13 (starting at 12:01 a.m. CST). Congratulations to our launch contest winners!
- Naomi Scheiner takes home a slide board from our sponsor HockeyShot.com for posting the item with the highest discount—she’s asking $1,000 for Roberto Luongo’s signed Florida Panthers goalie pads valued at $3,000!
- Kevin Anthony Vice wins a signed copy of 7 Pre-Game Habits of Pro Hockey Players by Brett Henning of Score100Goals.com for offering the most affordable item—A Vaughn 7200 Velocity youth goalie set valued at $600 for $250.
- Katherine Medina gets a copy of the Growing Up Hockey DVD signed by Jeff Serowik, a former NHL player and founder of Pro Ambitions Hockey Camps for offering goalie leg pads at an astounding 80% off—or $100 for $500 pads.
- Vivian Goldberg Gerson receives a power band necklace from Total Hockey for the best product description due to details she provides on not only the fit of skates, but who they would work best for.
Need new gloves, a helmet or elbow pads? Want to try goalie? Quit goalie? Head on over to Cusada.com and get started buying, selling and trading your equipment today.

We've received some great feedback about the site (we launched yesterday) and thought you would want to read some of the ideas. Here are some requests we have received as well as some of what's coming up:
Requests:
- Create an analytics function within the site so whoever posts an item can track the number of views and clicks. Answer: great idea! We will get working on it!
- Create a payment method function. Let’s say someone in Florida wants to buy my item. I live in Boston. I can easily ship the stick to the player, but how do we make the monetary exchange. Answer: Currently you can comment and handle payments outside of the site (PayPal, etc.) Integrating payments on the site is planned, we will move it up as a priority!
Here's a preview of some of the cool things we are working on for the community:
1. Member Profies - We are adding member profiles. Each member on the site will have a profile page. On this page, you and others will be able to view the products you have for sale. You will also be able to rate members as well as see what products they currently own (we think this is going to be cool).
2. Product Alerts - Interested when someone post a stick for sale? You will be able to sign up for alerts (for categories and products).
3. Wish Lists - Tell us what products you want and we will notify you when they are posted.
4. New Products - We are working on a feature that will show you the cost of the correspoding new item (and where you can buy it).
What else can we do to make the site better? Email us (info@cusada.com) with any ideas or click here. We reply to every email. We really do - :)
Can't wait to show you more of the ideas we are developing. Thanks for being a supporter and fan of Cusada! We've only just begun...!
