    If the orange/ blue graphics above are an option I don’t see any issues with the graphics. At the end of the day if the pads are better than the Premiers ( Which my son wears ) I wouldn’t have a problem considering these. Quality should be the same as the current CCM pads . What about the Eflex pads - will they be changed if the Lefebvre relationship is over ?

    Mike Bossy , one of the greatest goal scorers likes the goal! FYI a player in the Junior majeur ligeau just scored a similar goal - a Russian player I’m not crazy about it but banning it ? Not sure.

    Step confirmed to me that they will stop making Bauer blades ! This might be a stupid question , but do we know if Tydan will incur the same faith ??

    Update ???

    Well put Bunnyman - would Kevlar provide the same rigidity as Carbonfiber ?

    It certainly looks problematic - maybe not know but down the road. Go to the shop where you bought me and file a complaint - make sure you get CC ‘d on any email/ text to the local True holder!

    Insert - thank you for the feedback it looks like a very nice product, unfortunately I have yet to see one live. Question - sine it seems to have more padding than most other units and the padded sections are HUGE does it impede in any way your mobility?

    Do we have any feedback on this padded shirt from Vaughn yet ? FYI - CCM has a new version of their padded shirt which looks pretty good I will post a picture this weekend

    Awesome mask - obviously your a connoisseur!

    Nice looking boot - I hope they dont go down the same path as True/VH with a player cowling!

    Both Bauer and CCM make custom 3D scanned goalie skates in Quebec - considered both options before pulling the trigger on True/VH for my son!

    TGN I also agree with Ultima Poron Maltese ( or whatever there called know) EVA Etc ………………….. Any chance you can clean this up?

    So after the initial issues and subsequent repair we got my son’s True 2 piece skates earlier this week. Today he was able to skate in them - he spent about 2.5 hours skating and acting as a shooter at a goalie school he attends. So the first thing - skates are extremely comfortable, just as an FYI his Bauer Reactor 9000 he had for about 2 years and he found that his True skates where already more comfortable! Initially he had a hard time with shuffles, It got better as the time on went on - will ask him how his week goes with his team practices go this week. Might have to reduce the current cut selection. He has two weeks of no games and a practice with his coach - look forward to getting some feedback later on this week and seeing him on the ice next weekend!

    So my son got his True skates yesterday - what a complete disappointment, as he was waiting for the skates to mold and subsequently cool off he noticed that the section on the inside top section at the back of the foot was unglued! HOWEVER that was nothing to what was coming - when he pulled out his feet both sections at the back of the skate where the littlre bump is to help keep the heel in place where torn? i am being told that the True rep saw these today and a solution will be provided within a day or two. Does anyone use these skates with Clorino liner my local store is telling me that's only available to pros.?

    Cawarmar does this new model of laces still have the protruding bolt on the inside that rubs on the skate toe cap? I am looking at pimping up the toe tie on my son's CCM Premiers that he should be getting soon! The issue with the bolts was my only concern when I got this system 2 years ago.

    Nice - what are the straps at the top of the shoulder floaters??
  21. Big2
    Very nice! Have not been following the thread - fiberglass/glass + kevlar/full kevlar?
  22. Big2
    anxiously waiting for a picture?

    Dude - hook up with the Maltese group purchase and do it yourself, unless you have two left arms it's not that hard to do. All you need is a bit of patience I would start by putting your helmet on and checking to see if you have any loose spaces and figure out the thickness of foam required to make sure the mask is snug all over. If I'm not mistaken Bauer doesn't make their padding available - which is a pitty the foam on their latest 961 looks amazing. Good luck with this issue !

    Doobie - where did you get your hydrodipping done? Very nice looking job - will it stand up to shots to the mask or you have to get a clear coat? look forward to seeing the final product!

    The CCM pro mask (NHL Pro ) is not an off the shelf unit it is made I believe by Bombardier in Montreal and the thing is light as a feather.. i would consider getting one for my son (you need to know people to get one) but 1) not sure I can get a a CSA approved cage 2) it cost about $1500 without a paint job? i think a 961 clone from Michel is more likely to be his next mask, will depend on his grades at school!
