It’s a ton of fun with the smaller ice surface. Lots of shots, they used to keep track, the most I had in a game was 75. A lot of odd man rushes, penalties are penalty shots, and you get to play the puck a lot too. I’ve got two empty netters so far and just missed another one a couple weeks ago. You just have to not beat yourself up over letting in goals, cause it happens.... a lot!

Thanks! It looks quite familiar!

That’s right. It’s about 2/3 the size of a regular rink. No face offs, offensive team just clears the blue line for goals and goalie freezing the puck. It’s a different game but a lot of fun.

A few pics from a shinny game at the 3on3 rink I play at. Not sure how many of you have a 3on3 rink near you, but it makes for some wild hockey!

It must be new mask day! I picked up my Coveted 906 Pro today. I’m loving it so far. Ron was awesome through the process. I couldn’t find a helmet that felt really good. I went down to Ron’s shop to check out his masks. He gave me a tour and showed me how they make their masks. It was pretty cool to see! I tried a few on and we took the one that fit best and made a few changes to the shape of it. I guess you could call it semi-custom since it was from a stock mold and we added a few tweaks to it. My mask was made and ready for pick up in less than two weeks. It was a pretty cool process and can’t wait to get it on the ice! I would highly recommend going with Coveted if you need a new mask.

Oh boy. The latest concept has just surfaced....... the Seattle Sea Cows! Very intimidating logo. I really see the marketing possibilities with this one!

Will they be in store anywhere? Or can I go to your shop?

Haha. Tucker’s right.....weirdest of the weird! What options are on the pant customizer? Do you have price point? Or do we have to wait til 4/1?

I have a pair of Pro Spec 870 pants and they are tanks. Never had an issue with them. Thinking of replacing them with a new pair of XPG1’s. @McKenney Hockey How does the protection compare? I’m looking for a wider fit at the waist for tucking my chesty too. How do the XPG1’s fit?

Yea if I didn’t have to commute, or have car seats, I would love to have a WRX. Crosstrek will do for now though

Seems like there is a trend of Subies and goalies! I can jam all my gear in the back of my Crosstrek with the rear seats up. No amount of snow can stop the goalie from getting to the rink!

It looks like a mask will be my next purchase and I’m definitely interested in a Coveted mask. Does anyone know what type of foam they use, or foam options? Would a mask straight off the shelf at a store be priced much differently than a custom mask from their factory? Thanks for any of your answers

Haha! They’d have much better set-ups!!

Green is a great colour for Seattle to go with, but maroon and yellow combo is way too under used and under rated in hockey.

If you’re not going Carbon I would recommend checking out the Ventus. You may want a bit stiffer pad if you’re not going Carbon cause they will most likely soften up over time. And they’re cheaper than PVE and VE8.
