Heard the same thing, like October-ish.
-
I was ripped elsewhere for strongly urging others NOT to use hot water in order to work in a glove. I stand by that.
-
They offer XS now?
-
At first glace at your pad design, it looks like two white arrows pointing at the five hole. Kinna looks like an orange road sign.

It's refreshing to hear goalies giving the CCM brand a try in skates. They've lacked in forward progression and/or evolving their goalie skates for the last few years but their latest lines are now being competitive. Now you might have to change your username, eh?

The short answer is no. I mean, you don't need to spend $900+ and get the best mask on the market. I know not everyone has the money to spend, but I'v said so in other threads and that is that the number one piece of equipment you NEVER cheap out on is your mask. Spend the $500-600 and get a decent mask.

Nothing yet. Stay tuned.. -
Good on the stickers, more than 1 painter has told me those masks are a nightmare to paint. lol
-
...anyway back to Vaughn gear. I do remember they always offered Iceberg, Pulse, Vertical Stitch and that weird Diamond Stitch even in the first year life cycle of Velocity. I think they're really trying to push forward with the newer graphics and leave older ones in the past.
-
I think they already have. Statistically speaking, for all the goalies in the National Hockey League wearing Vaughn leg pads, the majority are wearing the Ventus family over all the Velocity series combined! And why not, that leg pad is solid! Dare I say it's better than (if not, the same level as) the CCM Premier.
-
Are no goaltenders in the National Hockey League (or AHL) wearing the Velocity 8 gear? And if they are, is the graphic that bad where no one has even that?
-
Can't deny that they look intriguing. I typically find goalies get caught up with the WANT to buy rather than the NEED to buy mostly on the fact that a product is the latest thing on the market.

When you like 2 color combinations and can't decide on which one
-
So people are saying original gangster goalie pad and original gangster mask? I really don't follow. That makes about as much sense to me as to why bunnyman insists on spelling mask as "masque".
-
Their internals could probably be a touch lighter and their outer roll could at least use a taper into a triangle or almost flat like the Optik. Otherwise it's very light as is and a definite improvement over the original RBK Premier. Still don't know what "OG" means.
-
It's the only colors I wear. 15+ years.
-
They definitely aren't the best graphics Lefebrve has put out (and not the worst) but I really do like they way it came out. Good balance and overall I'm happy with it. I'v done a few mock ups but leaning toward this one. Never been a white-based gear type, not about to start now.
-
Picture taken from the CCM Instagram page. The P2 customizer is now available online. I'm leaning strongly towards getting a set. Anyone else considering the line?

I remember hearing how big Heaton was back in the 90s. Saw a lot of their gear up close and played around with it. But any store that had Heaton also had Koho. And for me, Koho was king and I never even considered another brand. So unfortunately I never owned one "big" piece of Heaton equipment. What I mean by that is I had a very nice chest/arm unit of that brand but otherwise nothing else ever. I have to say I hated the fact that every goalie I played against that had Heaton only had the Brodeur color scheme set up. And I absolutely LOATHED Brodeur. That white/black/red color combination that was his made me so angry cus I hated Brodeur. But I saw the allure though and could appreciate of how nice it was built.
-
I'm not a rep, I'm not an expert in that stuff. But I am privy to some information regarding the mark up on pad sales from the factory to the dealer. And based on what I know about those costs, I find it grossly unfair how much a consumer has to pay for any level of gear. Those number lead me to believe that material costs (at whatever level) are NOT that much. To summarize, consumers are somewhat getting hosed.
-
A handful of negative reviews isn't enough for me to stray from wanting to buy from a company. But after catching up with this thread and seeing all this nonsense, I'm very jaded. And...any company wanting to associate themselves with Mr. Vogel....doesn't get my support or money.

Stir up indeed....

No surprise there. I inquired sometime ago to get this graphic done on a Velocity 7 and the upcharge was $300 just for pads. I don't think it's so much the difficulty or time or effort to do as to why they charge so much. I really think Vaughn tries to discourage people from getting custom graphics with these kinna prices.
