jerd31 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Anyone still using an old school combo? I have a SK2000/SM-90 combo that I refurbished years ago and is in great shape and I’m thinking about busting it out for the occasional beer league game.

Someone will take that off your hands for sure. I went to a Sportmask Mage years ago and never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Guess I’ll throw this in here… I’ve ended up with my Dad’s old gloves, which are in very good condition. He’ll never use them again, as the stroke he had - along with the diabetes - has fucked him up pretty good. I have always hated these gloves, and everything about them. Even back in the day, I thought they looked like shit, and they feel terrible (the actually hurt my fingers!) …and yet, as I’m cleaning up in the furnace room/family hockey gear HQ, I can’t get rid of them - even though I don’t know what I’m keeping them for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure helps that they're made by the best name in sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they’re the cheap knock-off brand “Cooper” - so not in fact the “best name in sports” brand, which of course is Pooper. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a guy with a pops who's struggled with diabetes and renal failure for a number of years (he did just receive a transplant so fingers crossed) - I can relate a little bit. Also can relate to "I can’t get rid of them - even though I don’t know what I’m keeping them for" as I have a whole basement area with equipment that bears the same burden (though admittedly none of it has the level of sentimental value these gloves may have to you). Definitely seems apropos to have them hung to admire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 They are a classic glove. I hear you with the pain when using them. But these were from the times when gloves had to be broken in. Today all gloves are pretty much game ready. Those look almost new. The SC Pro were top of the line. Lots of leather and made in Canada. Gems. Hanging them like that looks killer too. Hopefully your dad improves. Getting old sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Pucker Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Another rough day in the “family member’s gear” category, as I finally posted my daughter’s goalie gear on Kijiji - almost a full season after she said she was done with hockey. Definitely one of the harder hockey moments in my life 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of the harder hockey moments in my life Sold and picked up yesterday, after being up for only two days. The guy who bought them was great - not a goalie himself, but played hockey his whole life, and all his closest hockey friends are goalies. He also coaches his son, who wants to play goalie (which the Dad is super excited about, and wants to give him the best possible experience- unlike most wet-blanket parents who want to discourage it). While he only needed the blocker and trapper, he bought the bundle for his hockey association (which, like most associations, has woefully outdated goalie gear to loan out to aspiring goalies who are drawn to the position from watching the big names in the NHL, only to be given the gear that would have been worn by goalies 20-25 years ago…) Anyway, was very happy to have the stuff go to what seemed like a great guy who is trying to do good for his kid, and his kid’s hockey club. There are still some good people out there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of the harder hockey moments in my life I sold my son's gear after it collected dust for a few years. It is better to not have it there reminding you that they used to play - personally. It's weird that the last time they used it, it was just another day playing and they put it away. No proper send off. I unearthed a ton of plastic army men in my yard recently. My now 16 year old kid would always play with them. It made me sad to think that he was playing one day as usual and left them there. A day quickly turned into years. The Toy Story movies really captured that feeling of when kids stop playing with things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
