He wore Brians in Stanley Cup finals 2015. And launch of 1S was maybe 2016

Maybe you have to go gym if you feel that foam core stick is super heavy. Less weight is more money or/and worse durability.

It's not a surprising that you have some lace bite issues. The felt tongue is so thin in GSX skates that is clearly worn out already. Lacing tricks might help some time because there is some fresh foam in tongue but it wont last forever. 1. I think you need some rest if your feet are inflamed and painful. 2. You have to make felt tongue thicker and stronger. 3. Try wider non.waxed laces.

That is not non-standard or custom stick, it's 12 years old model and Bauer used to mark sticks like that. It's identical with current 23". If I remember right 27" was 28,5", 26" was 27", 25" was 26,5" and 23" was 24,5". Bauer's measurement way was different between foamcores and composites. They changed the measurement way when they released 1S line.

I guess one thing in NHL rules says that velcros are not allowed and all NHL goelies wear custom c/a's. But I bet 99% of young euro goalies use stock models and those should be ok in IIHF games. But there is lot of velcros in Warrior c/a's and E+/PRO+ might be oversizes as well.

I think Wall and Kova are only Euro- brands in NHL. Not sure about underwear etc. , maybe Aycane because they made underwear for Timo Meier (if I remember correctly). And Jofa heritage lives strongly in CCM gear.

Not gonna happen.

If you have twisted and/or ankle + low/high arch the first thing I would do is go to running shoe shop and scan your feet. Maybe they can help you to find the right insoles. After that you can maybe buy new skates if you still need one. Skate scanners just tell you a correct size etc, those scanners don't tell whats wrong with your feet. Basically same thing with custom skates, if you have a problem foot they make a skate for problem foot but don't solve the real problem. You might have skates wich don't hurt but your feet are still twisted.

How old are you? I would forget Bauer. This kind of background I would stay with domestic Brian's or order a True custom set. If you don't order a custom set maybe True 7x3 could be the best option or Vapor mid-level set if you want more modern option.

Almost all Euro Pro goalies wear the brand of their team sponsor. If they change a team , they must change a brand. Of course the are different kind of deals, some team might have deal with one brand but special goalie deal with alternative brand. Sometimes you see goalie with no logos gear but basically that means he is an ex NHL- goalie and has special contract. CCM and Bauer are big in Scandinavia and Warrior has solid market share in Germany/Central Europe. Russia is different because goalie purchases gear what he wants and nowadays what he can get. Of course Warrior hopes that some of their Euro goalies would sign to NHL but that hasn't happened. Scott Clemmensen, Roloson and Gustavsson wore G1's. Tim Thomas used G2's 10 years ago. So hopefully Warrior would be back in NHL. Warrior has made goalie gears maybe 13-14 years so these young NHL- goalies/prospects are the first generation who might started their career wearing Warrior gear.

Ok, RBK 8K is 15 years old model so I guess there might be something newer and shinier options. But not everyone needs a pro glove and pro glove is not only option if you play ice hockey. His old Koho glove looks like similar to RBK 6K (printed graphics) so 8K should be more than enough. If I remember correctly this was the first time when there was three different price points. And 8K should be "like a pro model but made in Asia". It wasn't but it was way better than 6K. But why there is a brand new old stock glove for sale? I bet it is really stiff.

That line was terrible but still looks kind of modern after 20 years.

Those mini sized pucks are hard to find nowadays. Mini pucks are quite dangerous because those can go through the cat eye cage.

I watched a bit of Vegas - Ducks game, I think it wasn't sold out or atleast there were empty seats, was it because the Super Bowl day or is their boomtime over?
