Hey all, looking to get rid of stuff I’m no longer using. Pads and blocker were purchased from The Goalie Crease. I used them for 3 seasons on and off with another set I currently use and then cleaned them for coaching. Loved them while I used them, but no longer need 2 sets. Chest protector has been used for a while, got lots of good use out of it, probably best for someone getting into the sport. Pads: CCM Premier R1.9 34+2 (TGC spec) $350USD [SOLD] Blocker: CCM Premier R1.9 SR $150USD [SOLD] Chest Protector: Bauer S190 SR Large [SOLD] Willing to sell everything for $450 USD together All price’s negotiable I’m located in Buffalo or Toronto so I can ship US and Canada wide or meet local and take USD or CAD Shipping covered by buyer

And yet we chose to live with the consequences hahaha, But i strongly agree, being a tendy chose me

We all chose to be goalies, we were never on the "cheap side" anyways hahaha

Now its a matter of sticking with the supreme family or venturing off to the vapors. Seems like they're both fairly similar in terms of what I'm looking for in a pad.

I did not know that the Cortech was still on the sliding surface of the midlevel gear. Definitely makes me more intrigued to try out a midline level (.9). The one issue I only had with the Supreme One90s was that the soft 100 degree boot (that I loved) got TOO soft and became more like an 80 degree angle. Any shot to the top of the foot shoots right back out to the slot. As a result I tried to find a pad with the complete opposite boot to that (the super stiff 125 degree Premier boot) and discovered that I hate that one even more. Few years later I go back to the old pad.

Somehow missed that post, thanks for linking it! Very in-depth. Definitely got to update us all when the new gear arrives and you go out for a few test drives.

Definitely gonna check them out, thanks Chenner

I also heard the same, that the 1x and 2x line were very similar to the 1s and 2s line, with the 2x receiving the best upgrades. I'm surprised you say the Optiks didn't even compare to the 1s. My wallet would definitely appreciate that suggestion. Does the jenpro face make a big difference compared to the newer faces? Growing up I always went for cheaper gear as I outgrew everything in ~2 seasons, but now that I'm older and can justify buying a pro level pad, would it be worth it?

I once tried on my buddies EF3's and they were everything I hated in a pad: weak rebounds that sat in the slot and super soft core. Even the Premiers I have now with one external and one internal break I find are a bit too soft. Good to learn what I did and didn't like. If you have any insight on the vapor vs supreme line id be interested to know, as I know they are supposed to be Bauer's "flexible" line but compared to other brands they seem harder than most.

I know Bauer has since changed their style of pads for the OD1N line, I just wasn't sure if they've gone "COMPLETELY" different as they seem to promote the same things as the One90s (Light, Hard rebounds, easy sliding, flatter style of pad etc.) but just do it way better. I obviously am not looking at getting the same pad but I want to look into getting a pad that has improved upon that style that I like.

After playing in CCM Premier R1.9s for the past 4-5 years, I went back to my old Bauer Supreme One90s and they feel way better in all aspects of play. Apart from getting soft since they're over 9 years old at this point. Looking for my next set, I want to find something similar to the Bauer Supreme One90s and wanted others opinions on Bauer's new OD1N stuff (supreme or vapor) in comparison to the One90s, as well as other brands to consider. Thanks in advance for your input

With Bettman being the commissioner I don't see Quebec City or Canada for that matter getting a new team any time soon. I keep heating Houston or Kansas City as the next destination of a relocation should a team get tossed out of their arena. The Coyotes have the new arena being built in Tempe so as much as I'd love to see more teams back in Canada I'm not too thrilled about the chances. I do know that the governor of Quebec really wants a team back though so who knows. Money talks.

I've been looking at a Coveted for a few weeks ever since I discovered them. Pretty local to me and seems like a great product!

It's just a small dent near the nose that went inwards. I know its not the best thing to knock the steel back but its small enough and i'll be getting a new cage fairly soon as I've got a few dents on her. Appreciate your input!

3rd game last night, 6-0 win, only face around 15 shots so not busy at all. Switched back to my old Bauer Supreme One90 Goalie pads and they felt way better than my CCM Premiers. I think its time I make a switch back to Bauer or something similar. Also with a minute left guy took a slapshot from the faceoff dot right to the cage so got a little dent I gotta work out. Anyone else get really bad ear ringing from a direct shot?
