Is there an idea of what new tech is coming with the v10s?

I mean being Vaughn will there be anything other than weight reduction?

Since everyone was cutting sticks I figured why not. 
here’s my grip and how I hold it. 
Only got on the ice twice since cutting the stick, but I did notice a difference in play.

thinking about cutting the 2s 

The real test is when the season actually starts.

Great interview! She has her game together and I loved the depth of her meanings and explanation of her mask's tributes.

Thanks! I have to mention she is a bit gear nerd aswell. After words we had a very short convo on gear before the rest of the team came out.

This probably should’ve been the first interview I uploaded. 
i got to ask a couple questions to her while volunteering for the maccabiah. 

all in all a very positive experience!

I semi-retired before COVID. Putting the pads in storage has been nice.

I’m itching to get back in the ice.

Here are some photos I took of some of the tendies at the Maccabiah. Canadian goalie in the reactors is Molly Tissenbaum, former Harvard Tendy. I interviewed her before the game. It should be going up on my channel soon.

the Israeli goalies all play for the national team in IIHF tournaments.

other can goalie was playing for the 40+ age group

american tendy was the starter for the open division finals.

i have some pics if you guys want to see more.

Yah I’m definitely guilty of lurking and not talking. Mainly because I’ve had to put the pads in storage for the time being.

hoping to get back to the ice around December/January

My opinion, the graphics look terrible. Aside from that, they look like nice squishy pillows  

It feels like Vaughns graphic style was changed once for the v8 and then they went back to random squiggly lines.

I’ll start it off here.
1s pad durability.
Here are the pads in question.

1s od1n SR size M  
Purchased in used condition June 2019.

Usage

August 2019 - March 2020
 I was using them 3-4 ice times a week with each ice time lasting about on average 1hr 15 min.
April 2020 - Today
Averaging to about 3-4 times a month with each ice time about 1 hr 30 min

Now that we got a rough estimate on how much I used these pads let’s take a look at the damage.

Face
I counted a total of 7 cuts on the face of the pad, all of which I covered with hockey tape. 2 major cuts. 5 small cuts that I can’t tell if it’s a cut or if it’s because the cortech just started to decay.

The top of the pad has it the worse with the cortech just peeling off.

Inner/Outer Gussets
Jeez where do I even start?
Bindings. Who thought it was a good idea to put bindings in the area which gets the most friction?
So those are starting to fray pretty bad. I can now see the edges of the cortech in some places.

Don’t forget ripping cortech!

And whatever happened in these places!.

Verdict
Yes, the durability was just as bad as we remembered, but god damn the sliding on these are just as good as day one. 
Effortlessly moving across the ice with no problems.
Anyway,It may be time for me to get a better set of pads.

Was it really that bad?

So this thread is for looking back at all past goalie/goalie gear controversies.

Saw this on the GGN twitter. Graphic looks a bit different but I don’t think it changed much.

Thoughts?

Great, thanks!

It begins.

but there is a slight problem. If I move the boot to the front of the cowling there is space in the back.

if I move the boot all the way back same problem with the front. What’s the call?

I think mines pretty obvious, but should probably have it changed due the channel name changing

Bump

Hello all, I now have the next couple of months off (long story) so I decided that I want to make watching hockey more enjoyable here in israel. 
Currently the IEHL is doing a great job at that but they are only a summer league. 
i looked at both of the regular season leagues here and one is just a static camera with no commentary and the other hasn’t posted in a year.

I figured if I want to grow the sport (and my channel) I should take this into my own hands.

does anyone know what equipment I need inorder to start livestreaming and doing commentary, and which brands are the most cost effective?

and if you have any tips?

I went to an IEHL game last night and woooo boy the camera does not do the games justice. 
skaters and shots are a lot faster than they look.

Bro, you couldn't make it on any team? I'm dying to go and play...

The level is so up and down, so uneven...sometimes you see amazing starts by a team, and then foolish play lets the weaker team come back...I guess these teams don't practice?

It's like beer league in Israel, amazing.

I’m also dying to play, but when the manager was going around and finding players I didn’t think it was possible for me to play. I was supposed to be in the army. My draft was pushed off last minute  for another 6 months. I was in the recruitment center when they sent me home. But I can’t play anyway I’m studying for the psychometry test.
