Welcome! These are on Sideline: https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/goalie/goalie-leg-pads/1109094-tps-icecap-goalie-leg-pads-senior-pro-stock Also if you haven't already, check out the Vintage Goalie Gear group on Facebook. It's a goldmine for older stuff.

Sweet, that's good to know! Thanks guys.

Is there an upcharge for nonstandard nylon colors and adding stripes? I'm pretty interested in these, for the price it seems like a great deal.

I've been using the Warrior wheeled bag for the past 2.5 years. It's holding up very well and all of my gear fits inside easily.

Agreed, most of the guys down to their early 20s would still be familiar with older pad styles of RBK/Itech/Bauer they would've worn starting out. Warrior's windfall will come in another 5 years or so, with goalies who've grown up with the brand.

Yeah it's been pretty warm here also. I filled early so the kids got to skate between Christmas/NY, but it's nowhere near thick enough for adults and too slushy for the kids now. I'm seriously considering refrigeration next year, it's not been too worthwhile the past few years for natural ice with all of the freeze/thaw (other than the Polar Vortex a few years ago).

@A.YOUNGoalie13, FWIW @bunnyman666 replied to an earlier thread of yours with some info:

Detroit's goalies at scrimmage yesterday. Greiss: Bernier: Boyle: Pickard:

The chest protector looks a bit more slimmed down...NHL spec possibly?

Guardian Angel Cages (he's on Facebook only I think, no website) just came out with a cateye for the Warrior mask. He may be able to make a certified style for you (albeit without any certification).

For what it's worth, I found 2 options on fleabay in the newer DM series: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Graf-DM-1030-Senior-Goalie-Skates/383312397871?hash=item593f33062f:g:SA0AAOSwUrFd8B4h https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Graf-DM-1050-Senior-Goalie-Skates/383312401592?hash=item593f3314b8:g:MjoAAOSw7Rtd8GHb

Anyone else skating in their backyard this year...? Seems to be a lot more happening with rinks being closed, etc. Here's mine, 28x55. Dropping the liner and filling next week, hoping it'll be ready for Christmas/New Year's.

@A.YOUNGoalie13 seconded for Protechsport. If you have time to wait for it (mine took about 25 weeks), it's the best value out there IMO. Michel is great to work with, also. I didn't send in a head mold, just took about 5 measurements for him and my mask fits perfectly.

Props to CCM, from the images I've seen their print/color-matching quality seems better than Bauer's.

Just when I thought this whole thing couldn't get any worse....Man, this is like every bad hockey stereotype in one package. Only thing missing are the T-Blades.
