Jukka Ropponen Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I tried to see how many gone gear (not sticks) brands I can remember and listed them at our Finnish BB.

bc30 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 On 10/5/2017 at 3:10 PM, craig said: I believe the rigid backplate and hinged chin was done as a workaround for CSA (or maybe HECC) rules that required airways to be accessible if a player was on their back. Pretty sure everything that came after this had a non-fixed backplate. Thank god It was to pass HECC. At the time, it was mandated that goalies wear a helmet. The fixed backplate made it a helmet, but that meant the cage and chin had to be hinged to get the mask on and off. Promasque then came out with a backplate that was bolted at the top and strapped at the bottom, so it was more like a traditional mask but could still be called a helmet. The Wright mask (itech) was the first mask with traditional strapping to get HECC approval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want one done up like the 93 playoffs. I’ve never seen anyone do that one. Usually it’s the one like I have with the “teeth”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to get another actual paint job that's the type of mouth I'd go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullright Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Heaton stuff was pretty good. I had the "Wave" blocker; liked it a lot. P.S. Felix made anything look good. He was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Don’t forget BHG (Brian Heaton’s last company). Canadien comes to mind. I really liked their sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Also- Eagle still exists today, just not making goalie equipment, unless you count goalie equipment bags. Of course Mike Howard (Kenesky) worked for Eagle, then subsequently Vaughn. Eagle was bought by Vaughn and is one of the few (if not ONLY) companies who makes 100% bespoke player gloves, including goat skin (sorry- no more horsehide) gloves, in which I own a pair of the goats. You can get Gretzky-tall cuffs or the modern short cuff. Their top-end and custom gloves are made in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only wooden stick I liked better than my Bending Branches (another defunct hockey brand) were my Canadien 6001 twigs. Canadiens made the puck jump and cross-checking was highly effective.
