I've used the same on my cycling shoes for years. Very durable and provides consistent pressure across the entire lace bed. Interesting to see this technology come to skates. I remember tying my skates as a kid and having to use one of those lace pulling tools to get them tight enough on the first few crosses.
Only thing I could see being an issue is when players want varying degrees of tightness. The Boa system is pretty even pressure/tightness for the whole system whereas I like tight across the foot and lower ankle but loose to moderate near the top.
Edit: seeing this is for gloves which makes a whole lot more sense. Proly hasn't been adopted for skates because of the reasons mentioned above
