One rink opens back up in August. The private rinks are having pickups tonight, with two of my teams starting back up the week of 6/15. I am going to skip a few of those games since I have asthma, and had my baby girl spend 50days in the NICU earlier this year.

I got an Itech 961 in the mail today. Was 50 bucks on so I couldnt resist.

This is a good instructional. I have taken apart and rebuilt pads, but never a catcher so good information for me.

Its Halfoween. So I busted out an isolation movie marathon, some pumpking and weyerbacher imperial pumpkin. Movies, with themes of isolation : Beetlejuice The Thing The Shining

The wait times are long and only getting longer. My wait was around 9 months total. As far as was it worth the wait, I will say yes as I have had a hard time finding a mask that fits me properly. I put my Protechsport on, and it had no wobble and felt glued to my head. In terms of protection, I took a slapshot to the head from a former college player first time out from the top of the circle no ringing whatsoever.

It is one of those quality, time, cost scenarios. Pick two. In this case you are picking quality and cost. Michel is a single man operation, who has built masks for many NHL'ers and offers a custom padding to your head. He uses high quality materials and keeps his costs low by being a one man shop. He is also working a full time job, so this is his side hustle. Price wise, his top of the mask is 4 layers of kevlar + 3 additional kevlar layers in the forehead and chin + 1 fiberglass for 695CAD This competes with a Bauer 950XPM in price but is made with much better materials and has a custom fit. Other custom manufacturers are priced around $800-$1100 USD.

I like the stock black foam so far. Its pretty comfy and protective.

im a sucker for navy/powder blue combo. Not likely buying tho but I can still play with the customizer

Goalie Monkey has CR3 sticks up for sale at $55

Shes sitting in the pocket of the trapper. I her glove saved her when mom wasn't looking.

Happy, healthy and home after a 50 day hospital stay. Raised my GAA the past couple of games...

Was quoted 40 weeks, but came 10 weeks early.

Hate to bump up an old thread, but this came across my facebook feed...

Only one thing to do: throw more money at the problem

Just got my masks back from JF Aumais. Turn around was super fast once customs cleared them.

He still does as a standard question on the order form.

Buying Vortek pads over Smith. Love Vortek gloves but liked Smith pads way more once I got my hands on a set. Then I sold my Smiths after being injured. I then bought a used Warrior set because the feel a lot like the Smiths I had and longed for after coming out of retirement.

that looks like a delight.

Good luck!

Thanks! I live near one of their bars, they had a Pumpking Fest. Otherwise all their IPAs are good. It ended badly when we got the 18% Rum barrel aged Pumpking. Thank god for uber.

Thanks!! We finished the season with the least goals for and 2nd best goals allowed. 37 GF / 32 GA. Record was 6-3-1.

Love Oskar blues, Ten Fidy and old Chub are my faves.

Just wrapped up my regular season by handing the first overall team their first loss of the season. We had no subs vs a full bench too. Thus I bust out Warlock a 8.6% imperial pumpkin stout

Buying tip: Always use paypal goods and services for your protection. It costs 3% but is worth it. If someone asks to go friends and family or alternate payment method, you do not have as much recourse in case of a scam.

Just received this 1994 Protechsport.
