I believe he's used graphicless prototypes in the past for lefevre. 

Yep, I remember seeing them on IG a few years back.

I’m in a Bauer Pro Series C/A with reinforced everything, and it’s the best chest protector I’ve used. The only improvement I would like is a strap at the back to attach it to my pants. Any suggestions on the best way to add one?

You can find some fight straps on eBay. Sew them into the back and you should be good.

I like the first one here.

That's the nonsense they do in soccer, I don't wana see or hear about any hockey club being called a hockey club.

I believe it's common in european hockey too. 

But yeah, I would prefer not to see HC used in the NHL team name.

Arrived last night, a few adjustments made, played at 6am this morning with it. Felt like I’d had it for years! I’ve been wearing a Simmons 996 since 2012 and LOVE that thing. Never been hurt, super mobile and comfy. Could not find anything I liked that was lighter and updated till I tried this on. Was going to buy another Simmons but got an absolutely amazing deal on this. There are a few deals out there that make this a GREAT choice. So far, one skate this was fantastic, felt smaller, a lot lighter and no mobility issues, nothing got caught or in the way. Took a few to the shoulders and chest and felt nothing other than contact. It’s got a ways to go before it’s 996 soft but extremely happy with first skate. Love the blue too, matched my Warrior G6 pads, although no one can see it…

You don't see this colour for a C/A often. Looks really good man. Congrats on this beauty!

New to me, pro-return beefed up size Large Pro Series.

Can't wait for some ice time

 

Are the crocks pro return too?  

Kidding, of course. 

Great looking C/A!

Thanks for this. Sweet setup.

Porter has done some Lefevre testing in the past. New Catalyst graphic? Construction. 

nice.

Sew it if you can and patch some padskinz or duct tape over it.

Sold my V9s and picked up these V10s. One game so far. Stiffer and I love the boot. Glove is super light, though I had a couple stingers in warmups. Overall a good first game with some minor adjustments to make. 

Light Bright

Another Leafs vs Bruins series. Should be awesome.

That’s a sweet mitt.

Nice looking trophy!

Just got word that my Iconik/Eclipse combo is in. Ordered my SLR4s and this set like almost 3 months apart and they came in within 2 weeks of each other.

Great looking set. Love the colours.

My kid ended up winning the season which was nice. But the biggest win was being able to teach all of the kids the lesson in both winning and losing well, and also staying the course when things aren't going well in the game. This year was the hardest on me due to so many factors, but also the one with the highest highlight in how my kid behaved on the ice and off.

My son had a challenging year in the first half not getting as much ice time as he wanted, but he really took a big step just after Christmas break and actively improved what he needed to work on. It's house league and I have no delusions, but I loved watching his normally bubbly happy-go-lucky self disappear when the game starts and see eyes get so focused. He upset the top two team each twice in the playoffs and never let in more than one goal, afterwards as he skates off the ice the first thing he asks me is "Can we now talk about what I could have done to stop the one that got in?". I had to tell him to enjoy the win for at least a moment.

Every time I lost the fun this year, my kid found it for me and helped me see the bigger picture without realizing. Absolutely adore this guy.

So Awesome. Congrats to you both on learning so much this year. That's what sport is all about. 

Experimented with a old golf glove, but didn't like it. Something fingerless like above posted sounds interesting, as getting the "feel" of the glove would be important to me.

Go Leafs Go...

Tournament in Nashville at Centennial Sportsplex this past weekend. The tournament had a photographer for all the games. Here are some pictures. We won one and lost two. Good news is we didn’t have to wake up early to come back for the final Sunday morning. 
I have more if you like, but we’re old-ish, so might not be all that interesting. 

Those Jack Daniels jersey's are hilarious. They look so cool!

Which one?

the 2nd one.

I like that he's sticking with the all-gold. Looks good!

Wow, what a nice looking setup. Digging the powder blue!

Awesome updates! Well done!

So, is that a reverse, inverted, upside down RVH?

They;ll be teaching this in goalie camps across the country again realll soon I'm sure

Now that's a sweet looking unit. If I was looking at upgrading my C/A (currently in a gen 1 CCM AB PRO), I'd probably look for this.
