Any piece of gear is eligible to be used the I'm the NHL as long as it meets sizing requirements. It's the branding, per piece of gear, that needs to be paid for. Warrior only pays the licencing fees for their sticks as there's enough of them out in the show to warrant the $10k price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cuff is thinner at the heel and gets thicker as it moves towards the thumb side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is inevitable we'll someday return to the NHL. It's not in our current plans. As stated, it's extremely expensive. It's more than licensing fees too. You have to hire a rep, pay him a salary, give him a travel budget, give him a sample budget. Then, you have to pay the athletes as well. To do it properly, the costs could easily get to $500,000+ in just one year. Right now our focus is to use our resources on R&D and innovation that goes into our products that hit stores for all goalies to use. Sticks are a separate category and the licensing fee is shared between player & goalie. Therefore, it does not cost Warrior extra fees to have branding on goalie sticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end goal of both would be to get more aerial coverage in the net. On our G5 trapper this is achieved through the interior of the glove (palm/thumb). The example you shared is done on the cuff box itself. It would depend whether or not that glove's ridges protrude forward or if the rest of the glove is recessed. Like I've said before in other posts, thinking critically about your gear in 3-Dimensional ways is not a "new" concept or innovation. Simply something we focused on heavily for G5 to give goalies every advantage possible in gaining coverage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benner33 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hell paying to advertise to the fellow leaguers with early access would be enough for my cash!

I wonder if the bigger issue isn't getting them made exactly the way they need to be to garner Kay Whitmore's approval. I'm sure an NHL player could custom order a set and get them pretty close, but they might not max out every single fraction of an inch the way a truly bespoke set from one of the other manufacturers would.

All of our gear is NHL spec.

coopaloop1234 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 @Kirk3190 Are you able to share a timeline when we could possibly expect pictures that would better showcase the "tilt" in the pads and gloves?

I think with all social media nowadays, even having someone play in unbranded gear would be major advertising. Imagine everyone online discussing what gear someone is using. The name "Warrior" would come up pretty fast. Anyway, I love you guys putting all the resources into making nice gear for us non-NHL tenders. On my team I was the first goalie using Warrior gear (even had to buy it in Germany because Warrior does not get sold in my country). 3 years later and I know 4 goalies who switched to Warrior pads because they tried out mine. Back on topic: the new gear is looking great as always! A real shame you make quality gear as there's no reason at all to change my GT2 pads, G3 blocker and GT chestie so soon... It's still all in mint condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korppi32 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 When blocker is angled that way, do you need to turn your hand more if you want that puck goes to corner? I mean if the face of the blocker is like this \l lot of rebounds will fly straight back to place where the shot came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not make an NHL spec c/a unit at the moment. Our new 2020 units are streamlined but still not downsized enough to be classified as NHL spec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
