TitanG Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's cool how Francis Marotte (centre) is still using a Protechsport even though basically all other pro's have switched to CCM. You can also see in the close-up of his mask that it says Made by: Michel Doganieri instead of Lefebvre as the pro's had, so I guess that's why he isn't in a CCM. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Interesting he has the CCM logo on it. I wonder if that was required or he requested it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I think it was probably required seeing as the rest of his gear is CCM and typically NCAA college teams have a sponsored brand they must wear (I recall there being a goalie with a Warwick who also had CCM on his mask). At least in this case it makes sense since Lefebvre designed the Protechsports but now brands his stuff under CCM. On a side note, I can't stand the CHL rules that you can only wear their sponsored gear brands; you can't even wear logoless pads/mask. Some of you may recall the goalie who wore a non-branded Protechsport but was forced to change to Bauer (before CCM had a pro mask). Funnily enough, if you look through his photos chronologically, it appears he switched back to the Protechsport with an identical paint job to his Bauer and with Bauer branding. It explains the Bauer branded mask on Protechsport.com. Also, the other goalie who wore Passau pads (unbranded) but was forced to switch as well. I understand that the CHL needs endorsements, but when you're literally called the CANADIAN Hockey League and won't allow any 100% Canadian product (Bauer, CCM, Vaughn, Warrior are all multinational) to be used by its players, it just irks me.

bunnyman666 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Update: was told my casting was good; will still not know what fits my head until he does the positive casting, which is not done UNTIL he starts the process, which is at the end of this month. Michel runs a tight ship and I have thusly been impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame he doesn't have access to the new CCM shell style. I just love the look of that mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm sure if you went full custom he'd be able to clone one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is minor. I guess since I have not asked the right questions, I don't quite know what he sells. I also can't name shell shapes, it's embarrassing! Roy's is so distinctive compared to the others! They kind of all look the same to me, especially with paint on them. Like I say- very minor criticism. So far- I have been very happy with how Michel has dealt with me. When he does my positive face cast, I will ask him to show me pix of all of the shells my head fits into. I also got the news that my helmet will be started this time next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to add- I will not know what shell I can fit into UNTIL he does the positive head cast, and that's when he starts. Again- pro level protection starting at a lexan price.; what is there REALLY to complain about? But as I say- Michel is so fantastic that this is not much of a criticism.

Again- pro level protection starting at a lexan price.; what is there REALLY to complain about? But as I say- Michel is so fantastic that this is not much of a criticism. Here is a description of his mask shapes. This is a bit out of date because he now also has a clone of the Bauer/Itech 961. So as far as I can tell his unique shells are: - Brodeur (designed by Michel Lefevbre) - Roy (designed by Michel Lefevbre) - Belfour (designed by Michel Lefevbre but with triangular vents, in my view not as close to a Harrison as a Warwick or Eddy) - Theodore et al. (designed by Michel Lefevbre) - Bauer/Itech 961 (clone of Jerry Wright's design) Basically if he names anyone other than Roy or Brodeur, it will look like a Theodore/Luongo/Giguere Protechsport mask (i.e. the classic three ear-hole Lefevre design). Every name is just a different size basically, so like a 961 clone and a Luongo are each just one size. Caveat: I have never ordered from him but this is how I understand it to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess because I am a lifetime member of the Combo Wearing Dork Club, I never really paid attention. I decided either Roy or Brodeur. I liked them the best. I had to see them with no paint schemes to figure out what I wanted. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
