That's a great deal for us Americans - sub-$500 for a very protective and mobile chesty. I love mine.

I know I shouldn't. But should I?

Wow, what store would accept a return for a used item? When you're returning it, do they know it is used?

Some mildly interesting 2020 CCM news... When you go to the EF4 customizer page (https://ccmhockey.com/en/product/goalie/customizers/extremeflex-4), CCM has posted the 2020 EF4 customizer PDF (http://microsites.ccmhockey.com/microsites/eflex/core/imgs/2020CCM_GoalieCustomizer_EFlex.pdf) When you look really closely at the 2020 customizer and the 2019 customizer, you see some little tweaks in the images... Above are the EF4 cuff options as they appear in the older 2019 customizer PDF. We're all pretty familiar with this. Below are the EF4 cuff options as they appear in the new 2020 customizer PDF. CCM is changing the cuffs up for Axis. And it looks like a new curve is coming to the custom stick options. I put together a shitty comparison below

Yeah, I wasn't a fan at all of the graphic cutting the pad in half. Graphic looks like the GT2 but now with a bigger slice of the pad being divided by that vertical line. While it's kinda cool that you can pick up GT2 or G4 or G5 and the graphics are pretty close enough to each other that they can look like a whole set, I'd like to see something different and more exciting graphics-wise. Warrior's got some other interesting stuff in the pipeline this year that, to me, is more interesting than G5.

Holy shit. https://www.goaliemonkey.com/pre-black-friday-sale Valid now through Monday, November 11, 2019. Some crazy deals on Bauer 1X gear. Bauer 1X Senior Pro chesty at $249.98. Or the Bauer 1X Senior Pro pants at $139.98. Some other stuff, like CCM Premier 1, we've seen at those prices before. Hopefully we'll start seeing other vendors blowing gear out as Black Friday approaches.

https://sgbonline.com/bauer-hockey-reaches-settlement-in-skate-steel-lawsuit/ While it doesn't specifically mention the Vertexx Edge holders, I wouldn't be surprised if goalie steel is included because the attachment mechanism is the same. Link to the Canadian patent on the trigger assembly. Some information on the case in the Federal Court of Canada is here: Federal Court of Canada - Summary Federal Court of Canada - Docket Also a snippet of things to come mentioned in news story - bold emphasis in mine.

Reminds me of a cross between Mission Slyde and the CCM YouthFlex2. I wonder if CCM will be upset about this leak.

Thought these pics would be fun to share.

Some crazy deals to be had at Goalie Monkey - https://www.goaliemonkey.com/brick-wall-specials CCM Premier Pro leg pads at $669.98. CCM Premier Pro blocker at $164.98. CCM Tacks (Pro) skates at $224.98. Bauer MyFlex bars at $4.98. They've got SR level gear too, as well as some youth and junior. Monkey must be losing money on these items - a lot of these items are priced at 60%+ off original retail price. They seem to have a ton of colors of for the Premier Pro blocker, and lots of sizes and colors on the Premier Pro leg pads and plenty of sizes for the Tacks skates. Didn't really look at the SR level price points, so YMMV there.

This was part of our college club hockey initiation on the first night of our two day tryouts IIRC one guy did it in less than 2 minutes. He's a dentist now.

Custom CCM E-Flex 4 sticks. Ordered 5/20/2019. Arrived 7/8/2019. 49 days, or 7 weeks.

This weekend only - Passau is offering 10% off on full sets of senior pro custom gear.

Monkey is blowing out apparel, including moisture-wicking base layers, jerseys, socks, hats and more. https://www.hockeymonkey.com/hockey-apparel-blowout Use code "APPAREL70" to take 70% (!!!!) off.

Perani's has a CCM Premier Pro chest protector - basically the old Premier 1 for sale at $229.99 - but in size SMALL only! https://www.hockeyworld.com/CCM-Pro-Chest-Arm-Pads-Sr Use coupon code "USAVE10" for an additional 10% off to bring it down to $207.00 before any tax and shipping - seems like a steal to me! Code should work with other stuff if you find any thing that piques your interest.

Hi all, Let's try to keep this to brand new gear from actual shops, as opposed to second-hand stuff from Ebay/SidelineSwap, etc - we can start a separate thread for that. Ideally, this thread would be the first place someone looking for brand new gear would look to find some solid deals. --- Monkey is doing "Brick Wall Specials" where they are clearing out some older gear. https://www.goaliemonkey.com/brick-wall-specials The page claims that the gear is not subject to additional discount and is available until June 20th (ending a couple days from now). They seem to have a gazillion CCM Premier 1's in numerous sizes and colors.

I assume you're talking about this strap? I'm not quite clear on what you're saying. There's no other place to velcro this strap besides where it is in the picture.

Second post. The first post is the initial impressions. Second post has the review.

Review is up. I focus mostly on the glove because that was the most interesting piece to me. I hope someone gets something out of it and that I don't come across as a total tool. .

No issue there beyond the little stray thread as previously pictured. It hasn't gotten worse. But the top of the other leg pad has started to wear. I'm re-writing it now.

Interestingly enough, it saved the attachments but not the text.
