Is this what you are looking for? Coming from a size 8 skate.

Also I am having problems finding cowlings at a reasonable price. If anyone can find second hand cowlings that would be nice. also thoughts on the ccm Prolite cowlings? how about graf? Would shaving down grad cowlings work?

So I settled on buying and cutting cowlings. The Difference is so minute I’m sure I won’t have a problem. There is one problem with your suggestion of getting new skates. The closest store with more than 5 goalies skates is far far far away. I would love to try on skates but being in a country with a small but growing hockey community I don’t have that option.

I’m excited for a Florida v Florida match up

I was thinking about buying a set of Bauer vertexx cowlings and cutting those. Just came across a recent problem. The boot of the tour skates may be a little too flimsy. I should probably skate around with the tour skates and figure it out. this option seems a lot cheaper than buying a used pair trying them on and reselling them.

I really love angle I get with the cowlingless skates, so if I were to buy a Bauer cowling to put over the tour skate I’m worried about losing the edge I can get from the cowlingless. I feel combing the two can keep me at the angle I want plus the comfort. the problem lies with the protection. Do you think I get the angle+ protection by buying Bauer cowlings while cutting the sides? (What trav4oilers did)

So for awhile my x700 skates have been hurting my feet, even after baking. I recently got the idea to try and convert my Tour thor G1’s to ice skates. But I have thought of some problems 1) the Tour skates have cowlings while the Bauer ones do not. Which means the toe cap of my roller skates won’t be able to stop a shot like the Bauer skates if I take off the cowling. 2) if I just swap the chassis and runner I’m worried that the Tour skates will be too high and the vapor skates too low. 3) is it worth it? My roller skates have been the most comfortable skates I’ve worn in a long time. And my current ice skates don’t let me get tight bcs of pain. unrelated question, does swapping rivets multiple times damage skates? Does anyone have suggestions what I should do? do I just swap the runner and chassis of each respective skates with each other? do I just buy a new cowling for the roller skates? Or something else. here are pictures of the skates

Another games where israel got crushed. Talked to one of the players last night. I was told they could’ve picked a much better team if it wasn’t for hockey politics

https://youtube.com/shorts/-E362G23zWs?feature=share i have done it a fully mic’ed up vid. Granted I sucked this game but hey one thing at a time

Just about done with the Israel v Netherlands game working on the Israel v Spain now. this one was the closest game

I’ve been told by a very trusted source that they left out some of the better defensemen this year by taking a lot more defensemen (fcking hockey politics.) Looking over the past 3 games it feels like 1)individually a good amount of them can be competitive but they aren’t playing well as a team. They barely practice together. If they even get a practice game they will absolutely fleece everyone else. So it’s hard for them to get actual competition. 2) while watching the Israel’s defensive game they just stayed inside the dots leaving a ton of space by the boards for passes. We only have 1 ice rink with European size ice and that’s all the way up north in israel. The main rinks we play/practice in are not that size. It looked like they played the wrong style of defense 3) there had no urgency/hustle. They were always second to the puck just waiting for the other team to make a move. Not getting so physical. Leaving the goalies to foot the bill.

Israel got rocked by China this game 14-1 final

So this practice was right before the IIHF tournament in Zagreb Croatia The other three goalies were all on the National team this year. let’s just say I got completely rocked by some of these guys

Will reupload later

I made a highlight vid for the Israel v Croatia IIHF game that just happened the Israeli goalie faced 84 shots while the Croatian goalie faced 22 couldnt do much about the announcers though.

That’s awesome! It’s always great here in the holy land. did you know israel just finished competing in Croatia they got crushed

IIHF Division II Tournaments are happening now. Just throwing that out there

My cousin recently got signed. I’m also friendly with half the goalies in the league i guess that’s the perks of playing hockey in such small country

Sheesh that’s one hell of a set

As of now I’m not in any league i was actually supposed to draft yesterday but I had it pushed off last minute for medical reasons i was thinking about trying to sneak my way in the IEHL as a back up but I realized how rusty I am when I went to a practice with the best players that are currently in israel. I got absolutely sniped felt like Swiss cheese. That vid will be up in a week.

That’s nice to know, I just sticker bombed my helmet it came out pretty decent

I did, this is giving me ideas on what I would do if I get a bucket painted

Beautiful bucket

I made a very nice split save at around 4:12 There was this Russian player taking this “beer league” game waaaaaaaay to seriously. He must have had like 8 breakaways
