CCM U+ 07

I bought CCM U+ skates from IHW. The blades broke after 3 months. The warranty is 1 yr. Neither CCM or IHW would do anything about this. At 1st I was told I would be sent some blades and I needed to take a picture, which I did. My son needed his skates for a game that night so I had to pay to get the blade replaced on my own. NOW, IHW is telling me I need to send back the blade or no replacement blade(I figure I need it for the next time these cheap blades break). The blade was thrown out so they won't do anything. Terrible customer service by both CCM and Icehockeywarehouse
