That's for an actual mask made by Harrison to your specs I believe. The Protechsport is not that.

Likely a Wall Finland model.

Those are some great accent colours. Normally I find mostly white pads to be boring, but not these. They really pop!

In most cases I don't think there's an off-the-shelf cage that will fit, so probably best to contact Michel. His cage prices are pretty low too, only $90CAD I believe which is the cheapest I've seen for a new cage.

I don't know if Tony is still at Sportmask. From what I've seen on social media, he's no longer involved there since the merger (or sale) with OTNY/GoalieParts.

How big is your nose (if you don't mind my asking)? I have an Eddy mask (GTII I think, size large) and I replaced the chin cup with one from Sportmask because I prefer feeling closer to the cage to improve peripheral sightlines. My nose gets close but doesn't touch (I have a long nose), though the mask is too wide so I had to add in extra cheek padding. Maybe see how a larger size fits you as well? I have heard of people using masks that have the cage in contact with the nose, so I don't think it's a huge deal other than you might get a nosebleed if you take a hard enough shot to that spot of the cage.

Saw that too late too haha

Is there a noticeable difference in mobility (or anything else) between the split and one-piece gloves? Obviously you probably haven't had much time in them, just curious if there's anything obviously different between them.

When I placed my order about a month ago, he said 35-38 weeks, partially because he’s been getting a couple of orders per week.

I think either protechsport@gmail.com works but for sure m.doganieri@outlook.fr works.

Yeah, same. Maybe we'll see this make a comeback?

OTNY and Sportmask are now one company, so maybe he could get access to them? Also, I'm not sure that any Sportmask cage would fit without drilling new holes or having some fit issues, though as we saw the current CCM cages (which look similar to some Protechsport cages) fit on the Sportmask Mage. I haven't made my final decision yet if I'll go with a Sportmask cage or a standard one, I'm sure I'll enjoy the mask either way. I'm just waiting for him to receive my mold so that I can see what size window he can fit on their (I prefer as large as possible), then decide on the cage.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I’ll have to send him the cage measurements. I’m not sure where he gets his cages.

Thanks for the info. I might try to get him to fit a Sportmask cheater cage on it (I like the openings better) and I know that a CCM cage can fit on those (someone on here once showed that), so he could likely make it work. Edit: Found the post:

I'm taking the plunge: Don't know why it's bulging on the right side there.... Also has anyone ever given Michel their own cage to fit the mask? There are some cheaters that I like that I don't think Michel has from Sportmask and Warwick that I might want to send to him.

Totally agree with that. If you can support local and get an equal or better product for the price, why not?

I've only worn a gen 2 Passau unit (non-pro) since I'm relatively new to goaltending, and the shoulders at first did interfere with the mast, but with some breaking in and suspenders I've gotten used to it. As for protection, I don't have anything else to compare it to but it feels solid. I think one other benefit of the Passau is the price for the options they give you, only like $550 CAD and you can select arm size and body size independent of each other, but if you need the pro pack the price is then comparable to the Kenesky. I definitely like the look of the Kenesky so I'm keen to see the improvements they put into yours @Chenner29!

The shutdowns in Canada are by province, just like in the US how they are by state, and Quebec has been the hardest hit of all so I think they will be shut down for awhile. The shutdowns started in the second last week of March, just a few days after the NHL shutdown, so I'd agree that he probably has a lot more time to make masks now.

This is great! And the below describes me too lol

That is really odd; did you message the seller? Maybe it was originally going to be a senior level line, or they made them for the April Fools? Although the latter would be a lot of work for little publicity...

Sportmask just launched a .ca domain with no mention of custom (still on their .com website) but they now include the option of getting an EcoProFoam kit installed from the factory in a new mask or you can order the kit on it's own (they're owned by Goalieparts I believe). This seems like a nice option for people who prefer Sportmask over OTNY mask but still want the improved foam.

I think that's a Coveted mask... But great pickups!

I've thought about using the Poron knee pads for the same purpose, although in my case to prevent my knees from accelerated aging, so let us know how it works out. I remember there was a pro goalie (I think in the AHL) who used them under his knee pads years ago when they were still the G-Form brand.

The one piece sliding surface on the FM Protos may also help with power transfer and thus slide easier, though it may only be a marginal difference that would be much improved with a material like Primo.

Thanks! I know things have changed a lot at Coveted over the last couple of years so was just wondering whether things were still available. I'll of course contact Ron if I want to go with Coveted.
