estogoalie Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 On 2/14/2018 at 4:32 PM, TheGoalNet said: Connected with Schelling and someone on the team staff... She said she buys her own gear and that's what was cost affordable. Someone on team pointed out that the gear is more expensive in Switzerland because of the duty and women goalies do not break down gear like men goalies. Probably an effect of player weight and shot velocity. Here's the main CCM dealer in Switzerland. Prices are in Swiss Francs but exchange rate is roughly 1:1 with USD$. Senior CCM pads are roughly half the price of the Pro pads. But normally, when you play high-level the team pays. But then Florence is playing in Sweden, so I don't know how they do it there. Hockey Monkey ships to Switzerland, so don't know why she doesn't just go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Zapolski has to have some of these goals. Unacceptable. I bet he is on the bench when the 3rd period starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just wonder what a company will do for someone when that person will be on the world’s biggest stage. That being said- a Zero G pad plays a LOT like a modern pad, and it’s not THAT old, so they may even have patterns and will do it for a price.

As long as they still have the dies, Brian's will make you anything you want that they have made over the course of the company. You can get there gear from earlier 90's made, but the cost won't be cheap. There are one company that will do that. The one glove I want to get is the 90's Air Hook, had one at the end of Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot remember off the top of head the name but when ownership changed out the bankruptcy he was the main investor in Brian's. That is why they have alot of new foam core technologies too.

That is correct, but I believe (nearly positive) the plastics / foam company has sold their stake. Any of the pads that have molded cores require molds (expensive tooling) and then to be installed into a molding press to run. If the company changes the core design, that means new tooling is required. To make a legacy model, it would be very expensive to keep the old molds maintained, then load them up, make 1 core, and then de-install them again I don’t believe Brian’s cores are molded in this fashion, but pieces is the CCM and Bauer cores are. Long term this could be an issue with keeping pros in legacy models. A glove, blocker, or pad made of sheet foam would be way easier to whip up If you are wondering, molded cores look like a styrofoam material and would be made in the same fashion as a styrofoam coffee cup or disposable cooler. Mold making is about high volume applications, like millions of cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mold making is about high volume applications, like millions of cups. I am certain that moulds for foam cores also have a life cycle, and most likely the quality starts to degrade with time. That would also come into play for the older moulds. Why make a new mould or repair one at the end of the line when the next gen is coming?

creasecollector Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I know height doesn't mean much (if anything, really) when on the topic on pad size, but I'm 5ft5 and I wear 30+2 CCM Premiers. I could fit 31's though. But Yeah, I'm a short goalie I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
