Just curious, have you looked at any possible physiological solutions for your hip issues? 
Don't get me wrong.  I love talking about new gear, but I don't think any equipment out there is going to help with hip issues.

I've been battling stiff hips since a couple knee injuries in my mid 20s.  36 years old now, but wearing stiff pads (x-stiff core Lefevre 20.1).

For me, the physical issue was trying to maintain a sedentary lifestyle with the rigorous demands of playing the position (I got very lazy after competitive hockey).  Sitting at work didn't help much.  The issues compounded over time and I ended up with a really tight iliopsoas and weak glutes, causing my spine at the base of my back to pull forward and creating some anterior pelvic tilt.

These days, I'm in/working out of my car for +/- 6-8 hours a day so it should be worse...but I've actually gotten better, because I've dialed in on a solid off-ice routine focusing on the appropriate areas. 

• Lot of glute work with bands and weights.  
• Lacrosse ball and some other tools for myofascial release on tight areas.
• Core and balance training, as well as a flexibility circuit as well. 
• Short warmup before my skate sessions. 
• Any on-ice warmup is done to ensure I'm focusing on proper mechanics.

Would be happy to post my routine if you or anyone else that sees this wants to take a look at it

I'd like to have a look at your routine

I like how you become hyper aware of your physical needs and started to work on them. Most people don't do this, so good on you.

Please do if it's not too much hassle I've fallen off the bandwagon totally this year and need to start getting into game shape and regain some flexibility.
