It’s a bit of a long shot but pretty sure this is Ben Bishop in Hyperlites In the background of course. Those look likes his skates and helmet. Personally I’m just happy to see him in practice. EDIT: confirmed bishop’s in hyperlites

On the blackout jerseys yes. On the normal jerseys they switched to a ever so slightly lighter green this year. Still not lime though

The only problem that I’m having is since I got a blue one my blocker palm is slowly turning blue. The retailer I ordered through for a discount didn’t have white ones.

Got tired of my knobs basically turning themselves inside out over time so I bit the bullet and got a buttendz (flux z) I wouldn’t go so far as to say “it’s a real game changer” or any of that nonsense but it should be more durable than tape which is all I care about. Plus having a grippy surface is nice from my experience so far

Ouch. Maybe I can talk with some old coworkers to help me out with ordering earlier than I initially planned.

Open angle boot sounds odd. I’m sure it’s not just me but I feel like true is releasing new gear just for the sake of saying it’s new. 20.2 looks barely changed which I guess is understandable if people liked 20.1 so much. But still cmon, sometime soon more and more people will see how bad the service is and won’t want true by lefevre gear I hope. I hate to push a brand while they’re falling but it’s getting ridiculous (if it wasn’t already).

Hope Vaughn can cut down their wait time before April because that’s pretty bad

Not necessarily a pro gear sighting but I didn't see a thread for 2022 bauer We have a name at last. https://shop.hockeybase.fi/goalie-gear/goalie-sticks/bauer-s22-superme-mach-sr-goal-stick-silver.html

That would make sense

True but I wouldn’t have the opportunity to try on the actual product. Otter’s skate would’ve been big but I’d at least get the general idea. I do wonder how they’re going to work around the tongue potentially pinching at the ankle.

Much to my disappointment Otter is no longer wearing the hinging bauer skates from the looks of it. Was hoping to get a closer look at them.

That’s kind of what I was thinking as well. Definitely felt way closer than an SLR series glove

The subie continues to go strong FullSizeRender.mov

On top of this it says custom 20.1 is out of stock on the goaliemonkey website which one can only assume means they’re no longer taking orders

Now that’s a nice touch

And the glove. Also the blocker. The vapor poster child doesn’t wear anything vapor besides the chest.

Falling in love with this line more and more every day but the stock graphic isn’t my favorite. As someone who loved the premier 3 graphic I think I’d go for an 8800 graphic

Pretty sure he’s still rocking an ultrasonic set. Likely for the same reason he’s using Bauer pro skates and not the laceless ones. All eyes are on him for new Bauer stuff plus he’s the poster boy for vapor. I expect he’ll give the new supreme line a try sometime soon with a hyperlite graphic but considering he’s used tune fit for so long I’d be surprised if he moves to what appears to be a new system.

What can I say I like cycling back and forth between a JRZ set and a CCM set. I feel it helps me focus on improving my own abilities rather than relying more on my gear to stop the puck. That said the game setup will most likely be a G5 glove with an EFlex 5 blocker and Fusion leg pads.

Those of us playing lower league juniors such as NA3HL tend to replace our glove, pads, and blocker every year or so. But we’re also on the ice for an 1.5 to 2 hours every day with frequent 3 game weekends. Chest protectors get replaced about every 3-4 years from what I’ve heard. And the pants, well let’s just say there’s a guy wearing 8800s on my team. Plus quite a few teams in the NA3HL provide team pants rather than shells. Keep in mind leagues like NA3HL and USPHL Premier/Elite are still pay to play which is why we don’t change gear as often as preferred, we have to pay for a season too.

As someone who’s very curious about SLR3 and has used warrior gloves for the most part, what’s the closest Vaughn glove to the feel of a warrior?

You’re not gonna include pictures of the jerseys?

Switching to plastic rather than air slide in this actually makes a ton of sense to me because as helpful as air slide was to me I did run into issues a few times where hinging on the post was difficult because the slots are the complete wrong direction for that kind of movement. Removing air slide from the knee should solve that.

That’s kind of the whole idea. It allows you to mix and match different models without it being super easy to tell. That said, the graphics still are on the lesser side of the spectrum even though G6 is solid.
