Patrick Roy's Wink

Some G5 pics from Instagram...

I made it. Its a blank reebok Habs jersey. I removed the "Reebok" embroidery on the upper chest and then found a Habs crest on eBay. Paid a seamstress to sew it on.

Not so much action on these pics but its the best I got.

I also have wear on my Ritual G4s in the exact same spot. Its really disappointing that after 1 ice time, it's already began to show wear. I expected some wear over a longer period of time but after 1 ice time... really dissapointing. I got my hands on some red padskinz and I'm going to patch it up tomorrow. I had my G1s for over 3 years before any wear appeared in inside top corner of the thigh rise. I really loved my G1s and their durability was top notch. Not a loose stitch at all. So far, I'm a little bummed out with the build quality of my G4s. I have had a view other issues with my Ritual G4s that I plan to contact Warrior about.

Incredible setup! Gotta look good when stopping pucks.

Five Hole Inc also makes them for $30 per pair. Check them out on their Facebook page.

+1 for this. Just used the hair dryer and it worked like a charm.

I carefully looked at my mask and I couldn't find or see any air bubbles. My mask is comprised of 6 pieces of vinyl. One on each side of the mask. One on the forehead and one on the chin which are used to hide the seams between each vinyl piece on the sides of the mask and 2 vinyl pieces of the back plate. One is the background and the other is the image. I knew going into this that multiple pieces were going to be used. Its not to noticeable and I don't mi nd it. My only real complaint is that I wish the purple stripe with black outline was cut in a cleaner straight line. He took the image below and did some series photoshopping to make it work on a mask. He made several mockups to accommodate all my requests. Overall I'm a happy customer and it was much cheaper than getting it painted. I highly recommend JF Aumais and I would consider getting another mask done if I had one! lol I'll do a review by the end of summer or earlier regarding its durability.

I got my sportmask wrap by JF Aumais. I think it looks incredible. I went with a TMNT theme. I sent him my ideas, he added his take on it. Made some revisions and ended up with this. He's a great guy to work with.

I use to drive a 03 Jetta. I had to place my bag in the backseat. The trunk opening was too small. I upgraded last year to a Toyota Highlander. Super easy to pack my hockey gear now. I lay the rear seats flat, grit sumo bag goes in first, then the pads just behind it and my sticks between the rear passenger seats.

Ric Flair approves this save.

Found some actions shots from back in the day when I attended the David Wells Goalie Clinics. The KOHO set was my first set and the RBKs were my second. I bought both sets from Ryan Munce.

Both! Habs and Roy fan.

Figured I would post this here. Anyone playing with a custom knee brace? I'm using the Don Joy Defiance 3 along with warrior knee pads. I just played one game with this and it seems a bit bulky in the knee cradle due to the brace, pants, knee pads and knee block. I haven't been keeping up with the latest gear. Is there any kneepads that are low profile but offer good protection?

Hey fellow goalies, Glad I found this place. I use to visit GSBB back in the day under a different name but that place has gone dry. Anyways, a bit about myself. I started playing the position on ice around 12 years ago. Loved it so much that I attended a few of the Performance Adult Goalie Clinics that Dave Wells ran. Those were fun. Those sessions really improved my game. I went through a few different goalie pads before settling on my current set. I rocked KOHO 590s, Reebok pro series 2 and 3 before settling on Warrior Ritual G1 pads along with Brian's subzero catcher and blocker. I've been serious eye balling the new G4s. I love the innovations that Pete Smith and Warrior are bringing to the table. I haven't played the past two years due to a torn meniscus and partially torn ACL. I injured my knee playing ultimate frisbee so it wasn't even doing what I loved most. I played my first game last week with the help of a custom knee brace and It felt DAMN GOOD to be back on the ice. I hope my injury days are behind me now. Looking forward to visiting here often and contributing when I can. Cheers!
