I haven’t got a clue where I’m playing this season. I have my previous tier 3 junior hockey offer and two acha D3 offers that’s really about it.

I’ll likely end up buying a pad with a new style knee block anyways but this project was more to keep me busy and experiment with what I can do to a pad

If I have enough leftover lexan I’ll use it to stiffen the thigh. These are just for proof of concept. If the idea works I might put it into other leg pads I like that lack a sturdy knee block

That would be a much simpler issue lol

The first thing I can think of is make sure that bad boy isn’t a pancaked glove to the point your T is a straight line from end to end

Project has been delayed due to a lack of tools as well as some other issues that can’t be spoken of yet. I’ll still be around on this site just likely not as much. Thank you for your patience.

True is a confusing brand to size for. They line up about a size smaller than ccm but I fit in a 33 true no problem while a 34 ccm is way too big

I fell in love with my CHL spec Shield 2 and will probably look into trying to find or order an nhl spec ccm after this one’s run it’s course

Does anyone have any idea how to put bolt on prolaces on a G5 pad?

Personally I love 3 on 3 but it’s normally half ice 3 on 3. There are divider boards that’s the place in the center of the ice which means it’s pretty easy for me to get shots and occasionally goals on net. 3 on 3 is one of my favorites because it tests how well you can play your depth and how hard you can battle to make a save.

I wish I could order hyperlite but the sizing flat out doesn’t work for me. I’d need to be in a size small to fit my knee but the pad would be way too short in the thigh. Already asked bauer about custom thigh rise heights and they turned the idea down.

Mckenney pants are awesome and a pretty good deal for pro level pants.

Unfortunately I already bought and cut the lexan and will begin shaping today. Using both rows of lacing was already the plan but thank you. I’ll be using two pieces of lexan per knee block if that helps

Pretty much yes but minus the part where you cut into the core itself. I’m trying to make something that I can use on any leg pad Lexan is cut to the right lengths just need to bend it and then lace the pad back up.

I had almost the exact same experience this year. As an ‘04 trying to play juniors I got next to no game time even after repeatedly proving I’m better and more durable than the other goalies. Thankfully my coach seems to like me but I’m no longer sure if I like him. The way I got around it was growing closer to the guys on the team as well as putting in even more work strictly to better myself for the next season even if I wouldn’t be playing this season. The most important thing was to not let my playing time go to my head. Even despite holding the 4th string title I carried myself like a sta
