That's worth a pretty penny these days. Timeless lines, gorgeous car.

I love modern gear. Pretty sure the pads I use now are lighter than what I used at 9 years old.

Makes sense. Thanks!

How does that work? isn't the ice in a curling rink slightly pebbled?

Bring back the Danbury Trashers!

I wonder what being tall is like.

Yeah, but consistency and moderation isn't sexy enough to sell a workout program, diet coaching or bullshit supplements, etc.

I mean, that's not much of a pay increase, but what's the difference in cost of living for Saskatoon versus your current location?

Had my first actual officiated hockey game in 20 months today on short notice with the Puck rent a goalie app. Picked up a 5-1 win, had to kill off a full 2 minute 5 on 3 in the first 10 minutes of the game and then it was pretty smooth sailing!

$75 shipped or $75+shipping?

Far too busy for my liking.

I think I've finally reached a point where I know what's comfortable for me and I see no reason to change. I've always been the type of person to try out different gear every 6-12 months (or more frequently), but every time I've tried something new for the past 2 years or so, I don't like the change. For me, Warrior pads just feel like an extension of my leg and I can't seem to play the puck as well with any other brand of trapper.

There are definitely a couple guys around this forum that are older than you and still strapping on the pads. Keep at it as long as it's still fun and it doesn't hurt your health. Any rough idea what Swiss Div. 4 equates to for us in North America?

Yeah, it seems we've kind of hit a point of stagnation, I know I can't really think of what to improve upon. How much lighter can a pad get? How much better can pads really slide? It's kind of like sports/supercars, any manufacturer's halo car is going to do a 0-60 in under 3 seconds and has for a while.

Loved my 9980 pads back in high school! And my Cerberus set!

You'd be correct.

Canada. Narrows it down, eh?

I don't see a whole lot of Warrior stuff out my way, but I think I'm going to be sticking with them for the foreseeable future. G6 might be worth upgrading from G4s.

I live in a particularly low vaccine uptake area and last Friday it was implemented that you need to show proof of vaccination to enter the facility. We had 8 skaters last night. It's not looking promising for there to be much hockey this winter in my area.

Is this your goal physique?

Yup. I think for me it was March 2020-June 2020 and then November 2020-April 2021 and again in May 2021-June 2021. Really though it was a good thing for me, as I needed to take time off to recover from a torn adductor.

I don't have R/GTs, but I'm on my 3rd or 4th Warrior set and over a little bit of time they've all softened up quite a bit. For comparison, I've kept choosing them over Optiks with an FLX core, Vapor 2X pros, Premiers, and a couple other sets. The only ones that I really considered was a Gnetik 3 set, only problem was the sizing wasn't quite right. I don't think anything made today will play much like a traditional old school pad unless you get a bespoke old school pad made.
