It's a Hoffman Big Daddy reissue. I ride just about every day.

I forgot I had these pictures. Taken a week before the pandemic started.

In my league, we were told after the Thanksgiving Break, that it is now mandatory to wear a mask underneath our helmets. I said okay. Apparently the rest of the teams are having a hissy fit about it. Even threatening to leave the rink and take legal action to get their money back. There was even a lot of blow back about not being able to dress in the locker rooms. I haven't been able to play since the Monday of Thanksgiving week (based in US) due to how the schedule was created. Our first game back was supposed to be tonight, but it had to be postponed due to lack of players. I believe that a few guys on my team are not happy about having to wear a mask.

Oh, cool. I never played down there. I did play in the Rockets arena growing up quite a bit though. I've just been washing my hands as soon as I lay everything out when I get home and then shower immediately. The rink I am playing at, you must get your temperature taken. In the beginning they allowed us to use locker rooms, but after the first game we've been told to dress in the common areas. They don't require that you wear masks, but I do, just not when playing. We still get our temperature taken and then just dress wherever. Which is kinda nice, you can get dressed without listening to the one guy who never stops talking... I have a feeling that our season will be suspended soon.

Thanks for that information. I am actually moving to NJ at the end of the year, where do you guys play? The rink I play at here in PA seems really lackadaisical about the whole situation. I guess I'll find out tomorrow how everything goes.

My intention is to use a lysol wipe or something similar to wipe down the pads. I'm just trying to be extra careful. I should've clarified that in my previous post, sorry about that.

@coopaloop1234 Tell me about it. Thanks for the information. Seems like Canada has it figured out. Does anyone wipe down their pads when they get back home? Wondering if it would mess up the materials after awhile. Thanks.

I am slated to start my season next Thursday in Pennsylvania and I was wondering if maybe someone could answer a few questions I have. Unfortunately, due to management changing hands multiple times at the rink I play at, getting a solid answer is kinda hard. The only thing my captain has told me is that the rink will be disinfecting the locker rooms, but can't guarantee that they'll do it before we're scheduled to be in there. Nothing about social distancing in the rooms either or while getting to the ice. So, I'm curious to see what others are doing to stay safe. Do you get half way dressed outside or come in your under clothing? Do you wear your mask the whole time before getting on the ice and then put it back on after you get off the ice? Do you wipe down your pads or spray them with something when you get home? Maybe even wipe down your bag as well? Any suggestions or info anyone might have, I would really appreciate it. Looking to get back on the ice, just want to be safe, is all. Thanks.

I bought the Warrior R/GT2 full set back in 2019. These are my first set of brand new pads since the summer of 2004. I previously wore the Simmons Ultra Light 2 full set. Still trying to get used to the 75 degree glove. I know, boring, boring with the white colorway. But based on my budget, it's all I could do at the time. This was when I first bought the pads, right before my first game in them, last October. And this is what they look like now, after only 25 games from the 2019-2020 season (ended in March). I seem to make a lot of saves with my right leg. I think I do a lot of half butterfly saves, compared to full butterfly saves.

Hey, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I am located in South Central Pennsylvania, so about 7 hours away. I am also unavailable that weekend due to work stuff. Thanks for thinking about me, I appreciate it.

There were goalies of all ages, mites-adult league players. I am of adult league player age.

I reached out to the "hockey manager" at the rink I play at for goalie clinics and he told me that the goalie coach of the Erie Otters (OHL), comes to the rink for goalie clinics and would put me in the loop. Last week, my team had a game and guess who is on the ice before our game? A bunch of goalies doing goalie drills. I was pretty bummed and e-mailed the "hockey manager" about it and he still never responded. I would love to go to one though.
