RichMan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 My observation is that the concensus in the NHL seems to be Vaughn, despite that most people say their arms at retail level are underpadded which is disappointing for $600 a pop. I`d be interested in know who is wearing what that isn`t "registered" such as Brown, Passau, ect - and how they wear it (in or out). For a pro goalie to show confidence in a product that isn`t on the NHL`s contract says a great deal in the quality and protection of said chesty.

coopaloop1234 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I enjoy it. C/A's are generally not easily noticed and having a separate thread seems fine by my books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 @RichMan - To my knowledge no NHL guys are still in Brown or Passau. Bobs in Vaughn, Bernier is in CCM, and Halak is in Brian's. I know Passau made a unit for an AHL guy last year. However, he was / is in a paid gear contract with CCM. If he was seen wearing the unit it would have voided his contract. I am not sure if he ever took the risk or not. Maybe we could start to compile a Database and work on percentages of who is wearing what. For my money, I think CCM and Vaughn are very close. I don't think Vaughn is dominating like say True is with skates. . . Maybe 50% Vaughn, 40% CCM, 7% Bauer, and 3% Brian's or something similar might be a realistic pie chart.

It's nice to see the C/A Mods and looking at what Pro's stick with what works for them, even if it's a model from a few years back. I find that very cool!

TheGoalNet Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 @SaveByRichter35 - an unmentioned contact close to Brown told me they were not fans of the gear sightings threads, GGSU, Instagram, etc It just put a giant bulls eyes on all the guys wearing the Brown C&A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 When every rep sees Bobs, arguable the best goalie in the league, wearing a Brown and not getting paid to do so... Every rep at a major company will bombard Bobs and to get him to switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 ok, back on topic. Aside from those who are sponsored, I'd be interested in knowing why a pro chose a brand and/or model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 @RichMan I actually wonder the opposite, haha Goalie Gear Nerd had a nice post the other day showing guys who change their main gear company and keep the chesty subban still in Brian’s, Elliott still in Bauer, etc I figure guys get used to a feel and don’t want to change. So I’m curious when they change from a CCM to a Vaughn, why?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’m curious when they change from a CCM to a Vaughn, why?!? I can see a guy say having worn Brown forever and get approached by CCM to wear the full kit and him saying ok, except for my c/a and they agree - or not. But I'm sure some guys will see or hear about a new model out and might get curious and maybe even switch. That's where I'd like to hear what made them switch on their own. Protection? Mobility? Durability? Vision/clearance? Adjustments? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckus007 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I know Bernier tried a Simmons and Passau before. Then got stuck with CCM =p. I want to know the construction of the C/A's though. They're noTHING like what we get. I've held a Backstrom C/A a couple years back and noted beefed shoulders, biceps, forearms and plastic in the belly blocks.
