Overview
The Labeda Gripper Millennium Hockey Wheel has been a consistent benchmark against which all other hockey wheels are evaluated. The Millennium has been at the forefront of multi-layer urethane technology, having Labeda's uniquely crafted grip formula with their superior rebound urethane core. The innovative flex-design core responds to side-loads, optimizing the footprint and grip surface to firmly bite into the skating surface.

Sizing Chart
| HOCKEY WHEEL HARDNESS GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Roller hockey wheel hardness or durometer should be decided on factors like a player's weight, skill level and playing surface. The higher the durometer rating, the harder the wheel. For example, an 82A wheel is perfect for rough outdoor surfaces while a 76A wheel excels indoors. More advanced players can also benefit from harder wheels since they can utilize the extra rebound and speed. |

Excellent wheel, worth the priceThe Labeda Gripper Millennium Signature Hockey Wheels are best wheels out there if you are looking for ultra soft feel, super tight turning radii and maximum speed in straight lines. Super comfortable ride as well.
Recommend for all indoor "sport court" surfaces. The catch is that these wheels (like all soft indoor wheels) will get torn apart on blacktop/roads.
Great companyOrdered wheels and didn't receive them. Called customer service and they replace the order! Great company, will do business with them again!
The standardThese are the standard for sport court wheels. We tried the Addiction at nearly twice the price. The millennium's performance is right there and last longer = much better value.
Good wheels!In all very good wheels but haw hard I skate they started to fall apart a little bit. Overall good wheels!
A+++++Worth the price, when I stop, I stop instead of sliding 3 feet first with cheap wheels.
Great wheelsI play on indoor tile twice a week. I am about 160 pounds. Love these wheels.
Amazing even in the rainI'm an avid street skater who seeks out rough, uneven terrain. I skate pretty hard (as per my modest but increasing ability) and rely on drags and hockey stops for most of my braking and stopping. I skate in all weather, including rain and snow. The Shooters are fast, grippy (even in rain!) and wear slowly. I don't know what other properties I would want in a wheel. They feel lively underfoot, unlike several other kinds I've had. I've used 80mm wheels from Flying Eagle, Gyro, Rollerblade, and Seba, and I'd choose the Shooters even if they were the same price as those (they are MUCH cheaper). The only wheels I've had that were as good as these were a set of Labeda Asphalt Grippers 85A. The Shooters are, quite frankly, a mystery. Why are the best wheels out there also the cheapest? I hope they never stop making them.
Not for heavy or aggressive skatersI bought the wmo2 skates and the skates are fantastic!! Except the wheels, I'm very aggressive with my skates and I have had them for only about a week and I've already began to de-hop my wheels I do not recommend these wheels for heavy set skaters or aggressive hockey skaters! If you like recreational skating or your under 150 pounds these wheels are pretty good and have great grip and improved my hockey stops by a few feet but, not for aggressive skaters
Best wheel for priceThere isn't a better wheel in the price range. Great grip, very easy to stop with.
Not for heavier playersWheels are decent don't recommend for a heavier more advanced player highly recommend the dynasty line feel I got a much better feel out of the Dynasty Line of wheels.
Great gripThese wheels have great grip and decent durability, but can chip easily on wood floors when stoping. Had them for 3 months and to change wheels out. Still would buy again because that was a great 3 months!
Great wheel for speedGot these as my first wheels when I was somewhat new to skating. Right out of the box, they had great traction and flexed just right. Perfect for speed, and sharp turns come together nicely. They are more of a rounded wheel so toe work is a little difficult on them.
However, I do not recommend them for hockey play or aggressive skating. They crack super easily since they are so soft, and they burn after enough stops.
Grippy as heckSo you're wanting to have a wheel that grips and makes a larger contact patch under load, these will do it.
They're really soft for my body weight, but anyone in the 175lb-200lb is going to love these if you need to stick to the floor.
I used to skate Hyper Formula G's in the early 2000s and these are just as grippy.
I love the color style on them too. The clear wheel with the colored center makes for a cool look at the rink.
