Wanted to revive this thread. I never did replace my cup like I was thinking of when I first created this thread. I just had the Eagle cup altered to fit better. But I still want to get a new cup. Question is, which one should I consider? Is double cup required? It seems some manufacturers offer a single cup as their top model presumably with other structural reinforcement to make up for using only one cup. It turns out the Brown cup that I titled this thread after is only a single cup and the shield over it is what reinforces it. Anyone have any further opinions on their offering? Is it as protective as the standard double cup? What are your opinions on what would be the ideal cup to wear? I think my local Perani's has a Brian's Optik double cup. Any ideas and opinions are welcome.

Thompson in Vegas, too.

There aren’t many full right goalies in the league right now. One thing I’ve noticed is it seems the ones who are, seem to appear small in net. Like they are playing small. Are they wearing small chest protectors? Are they crouching too low? Is it an optical illusion because they are a mirror image of a regular goalie?

still an appropriate use of this meme

Won Upper C in Antioch Ford Ice Center. We went undefeated. Good group. nice trophy

Tournament in Nashville at Centennial Sportsplex this past weekend. The tournament had a photographer for all the games. Here are some pictures. We won one and lost two. Good news is we didn’t have to wake up early to come back for the final Sunday morning. I have more if you like, but we’re old-ish, so might not be all that interesting.

Let’s see some pictures. The only pictures of the gear is what Brown sent.

You know what he would think of her.

Does Edmonton have the market cornered on goalies that play like beer leaguers? Pickard and Campbell play like beer leaguers trying to keep their heads above water at this level. At least Skinner looks like a professional as he plays. Of course, I root for guys like Campbell and Pickard, I’m just surprised they’re out there. And I know that Campbell is currently in the minors.

Got a stick for the first time in a million years. Gift card to Perani’s for Christmas paid for it. I’ve since transferred the Buttendz grip from my broken True stick to this one.

I can’t speak to their RECENT offerings. But, I’m still using a set of Simmons pads and gloves purchased in 2012. I did have the gloves refurbished back in 2017. I’ve been using various measures to cover wear spots on the whole set. First ShoeGoo, then electric tape, now PadSkinz. I’ve also replaced leg pad leather straps and the knee elastic velcro. But everything still functions and preforms how I like.

Just got done playing five nights in a row. Haven’t done that in a while. I slept pretty soundly last night.

I’ve had mine for over ten years. Gel to cushion landings. They have the garter belt attached. I’ve had my girlfriend mend all elastic and the garter belt once. I may need her to do it again. Still structurally sound. I too never get hit there so I don’t know if there’s been any loss of protection.
