  1. I will be wheeling only when it's time for me to hit the wheel-chair as of right now shoulder it is
  2. Just a little yes, looks more disappointing and a very expensive unit
  3. Nice chesty yes, but I can't justify $675 CDN for that, nothing has changed from the 1S, it looks like my NXG just lighter, and my NXG is holding like a bull after 3-4 years. I would rather have more coverage with the ccm premier chesty and pay less.

    @Lurch thanks bud, I did order a custom set. Went with a 34+1 my P1 were a 33+2. You go with the same size for both? I tried a demo pad and even though it was straight I did notice the speekskins and they made a very small difference. I wasn't going to get it but I did under the pad only. The rest jenpro. I went single break internal but not out. My P2 after a year and a half of use look like a double break in and out lol and it's only a single. I also went with a stiff boot cuz the pad looks way too soft and I'm scared that after a year will just break and shrink. Post some pics for sure!

    @Znowleopard looking good man! I went with the same setup but with white sticking, Corey Crawford inspirited, but all black in the leg channel as well. Let us know how it went on the ice with the sizing and all.

    No, here in Canada they like to take advantage of our own people, we pay more for shipping than they do in the States sadly. It might cost just as much, who knows. Find out @Znowleopard

    Perhaps due to the exchange rate? When I went on Friday to Pro Hockey life to try on the new CCMs there was a dad and his daughter from the States looking at pads, all because of the exchange rate I suppose and maybe the big hockey market.
  11. @dreadlockgoalie @Larceny#30 I don't think he's wearing anything that's made in Canada, not even the mug he drinks from haha
  12. I think that kid is on something, don't pay any attention to him....those masks don't crack just like that unless NHL players are looking for your head all game
  13. The XPM is top of the line lol you seem lost in here
  14. Top of the line mask what are you talking about, do you play street hockey? lol
  15. Just for Hockey Source for Sports does on Don Mills, I think I only saw an XL size though....try to find out.
  16. Any words on the chesty?
  17. @Lucky Pucker keep on having fun! I still have this fear of not being able to play and I'm 36, all those years missed! I'm pretty good at it shocking, health will be #1
  18. It's Friday so I thought I say hello, I will try to keep this short but I can't promise you that... Born and raised in Israel with a European backgrounf, came to Toronto when I was 11 years old. Played mostly soccer back home and some basketball until I saw the game of hockey, and of course at that time Felix the Cat Potvin! Fell in love with the sport right away, at that age my parents thought I was crazy even thinking to learn the game, skate, etc. so I took up baseball/softball and kicked all the Canadians ass in soccer during lunch time. I did skate when I was around 13/14 but I wasn't very good at it, heck I couldn't stop. Years go by and I'm playing street hockey, got my goalie equipment for gym class and everyone started noticing me, but still, it was nothing compare to now. Fast forward to the age of 27/28, walking with my ex at the park I see ice outside, thought to myself....why not buy skates and see if I can do anything....so I got skates and went on...could skate fairly well and stop (wow, I can stop?) I was a bit surprised. I got this crazy idea to go buy player equipment and take up hockey......went out on boxing day, bought everything and started to take power skating lessons at York University. Did 10 classes and started to play summer and winter hockey at the lowest level. It was hard, hard to compete with guys playing since the age of 5.....BUT it was my dream, to always be in net....I had that urge from a young age. During the Christmas break our team rented ice and I put on my goalies team equipment, obviously due to size issues I wasn't comfortable, and it was a bit strange but interesting...however I was on a mission!! A mission to be a goalie, let's be honest this player thing wasn't working out. I didn't score in 2 seasons even though I did get a bunch of assists. Went to Dukes and got myself goalie equipment, started playing pickup hockey at a low level, slowly joined a league, found another team (won 2 leagues in 4 years) and now I play B/C level. With no coaching, mostly playing, watching videos I'm very proud of what I've accomplished and all of you should as well if you just started. I gave up on all the other sports (except beach volleyball) because hockey is in my blood, I play all year long! Been on the ice for 8 years now and going strong! My name is Niv, you pronounce is Neeev

    I went on the ice yesterday, the straight pad is no good! Even with a break. Can't close my 5hole properly. Unless you are made of rubber band haha I was very much tired after say 40 minutes on the ice due to how stiff they were and the extra energy I took out. The speed skins do make you slide better which changed my mind before I order my pad at the end of the month, I will get the bottom in speed skins. I didn't feel them to be that much lighter on the ice, maybe the stiffness had something to do with that lol. I will for sure go with a pre-curve, single inner no outer.
