$100 isn't that bad, but might be more costly to ship to Israel they said as I'm in Canada. 

But I want the nation team jersey. 

I feel 100$ is costly for any Jersey. At this point I may aswell save that cash and put it into new pads

The website sells the jerseys for $100 a pop I think. 

Was thinking about getting one but damn 100$

Congrats! Nice video. 

Here is the goalie on Reddit, YouTube channels video he posted. He plays in Israel now, I might have mentioned it to you. 

 

Funny you mention that, we are subscribed to each other. He’s documenting his time here along with his games. 
I’m just making highlights.

I GOT MY FIRST COPYRIGHT CLAIM!!! I AM OFFICIALLY A YOUTUBER!

Here’s the first game of the season, happened a while ago but finally got around to doing a highlight vid.

I noticed that some came from Europe too, wonder if they pay them? Look at the league Instagram page it shows. 

I’m not sure, I haven’t really heard of paying anyone anything. I don’t think they are even charging people for tickets. The players do get jerseys shells and helmets

Anyway the IEHL (Israel Elite hockey league) has started 

apparently the commissioner got people from all different leagues and levels to come play. Some college and some higher. 
I should have some highlights ready soon

Good stuff buddy! Nice win!

I came back a few weeks ago, man it was good to be back after 5 years I miss it already. The air, the ppl, the food.  

Nothing better than the promised land.

were you here for Independence Day?

As far as I remember in the regular season, the Rangers won every match against Tampa. in any case, these are my two favorite teams and the conference final will be of particular interest to me

As far as I remember the canes dominated the rangers in the regular season. 
play offs are a different animal

Jeez 14 total goals just in game one

I’m wondering if we can make and sell some pooper shirts and donate the proceeds in bunny’s name.

Israel won a game! Granted this is the U18 team playing in Div IIIA but still a win is a win. 
one of my good friends got stretchered off the ice this game. Was hard to watch.

I guess this thread needs a new name.

made a pad stack windmill. I felt like vasy

In a private message a few months ago when he was cutting weight to play again, I asked where "Bunny" originated. He told me his favorite goalie was Bunny Laroque. Like his favorite, a good man gone way too soon. We're all better off having known him and we're all worse off without him. In my haste and shock, I forgot to add that to my post about this kind soul. Forgive me, Bunny.

I always thought he liked bunnies  

I remember seeing a bunny in one of his sidelineswap listings, I was tempted to ask if that’s where he got his username from.

Our “Flumpy padded” Friend will never be forgotten.

Bunny may have Bunny in his name but he certainly was a goat 

Probably Israel’s best fought game of this tournament.

this concludes the adult highlights

next week comes the u18 team. Who won 2 more games than this team. Granted they are in Div III A

I had this problem on 2X a couple of times. corrected by increasing the tension of the knee elastic. on the 1S I generally installed a hard nylon strap

and of course, the knee guards will not interfere either

Funny you say that. On my 1s I have a leather strap for my knee block

Have you searched sideline swap?  I saw a few sets of cowlings on there.

I found a pair. just trying to figure out a way to confirm that they will fit on the boot before I pull the trigger on the purchase.

cowling is size 8 boot is size 8 should fit right?

OK so to answer a few questions here from personal experience.  I've had several skates that have been riveted and re-riveted a few times over.  My current inline skates, Graf 7500s have had the original cowlings, removed those, drilled and riveted on CCM XSG holders, removed the XSG holders, drilled again to fit the current Labeda Predator chassis.  Still solid.  As it is, I am looking for a smaller sized chassis as the one that is on there is too big.  So that would be another drilling session that would be needed lol.  The bottom of these skates are looking like swiss cheese.  

I've never skated with Tour Thor skates so I cannot comment on the flimsiness of the boot.  But, when I first started playing ice I was in some shitty Bauer Supreme 1000 boots that were flimsy as shit.  Then I moved up to the Bauer Supreme 7000 boot.  As I said I have never held a Tour boot in hand but it looks to have a carbon weave boot so I am sure you'll be fine.  

I recently took them in a skate and they seemed completely fine. I guess I was over reacting. 
i just need cowlings now. 
I most likely will take u up on your offer.

Dammit.  Yea those are the same size.  The problem is that size chassis works on that size 8 skate but it also has a cowling on it.  The chassis I have now were on a 9 boot with a cowling.  They're like skis on a size 8 booth without a cowling.  The tips of the chassis literally hang off the edges of the boot.  I'll add a picture to the original post so you can see lol

Ah got it, so you are looking for a chassis that would be on a size 6.5/7 skate

Let me catch up reading this thread.  But, while I do that :cough:  here look :cough:

 

The only thing holding me back from this purchase right now is the worry that the cowling won’t fit.

@Bmats30 what do you think? Will these fit?
