Big2 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Watching tonight’s game between Boston and Columbus and on the Boston goal they soomed in on the goal line, during this zoom in I realized that he is not wearing a 1 piece True skate, his holder looks like last years CCM with bolts on the side of the holder to hold the blade ?. Does anyone know who’s holder he uses ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It is a Swiss cowl that is about $1000 a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than "he is used to them and comfortable in them", I think there is very little reason to consider these now than the VH 1 Piece skate exisits. Bobs has used these since before that product existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobs has used these since before that product existed. Remember also that pros like what they like and Bobs most likely orders $10K worth of steel and cowls several times per year, possibly on his own dime (Tim Thomas used to spend all of his team-provided budget, plus his own money on gear) to be supplied with plenty. You could not just go to your local shoppe and buy steel for this cowl! These are produced by the same people who produced the Airexxess masks! I would be willing to bet those cowls would not be in the Blue Jackets’ end of season sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started with Airexxess, but someone else is is doing them now. The masks are not by a medical composites company and just called RXS goalie masks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big2 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Wow $1000 buck a set certainly not an expense I would be able to wrap my head around. Thanks for the feedback ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 That cowling is loosely modelled after the old Koho cowling, so it makes perfect sense why this cowl is favoured by Euro goalies. It is moulded to your skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
