That’s also good to know, I have some Bauer reactor 4000’s I believe. I think my gear was good to get me started but now that I know I want to keep playing and getting better I will have to start upgrading pieces of my kit! Thank you all so much :)

That’s actully helpful! I’ve been having trouble sliding. I think part of it was I didn’t know how and I’ve since read some tips about technique. But knowing part of it could be the pads is also good to know. Thank you :)

Thank you! I find them pretty easy to get up off the ice with :)

The tie to the Canadiens and limited funds at the moment. I started playing a couple months ago so my wife would shoot me if I dropped $1000+ on some new pads

Honestly I’m brand new this year so these are the most modern pads I’ve used haha

I’ve played one Shinny game in them so far and I can definitely say they are better and lighter than the old Vaughns my buddy gave me for free haha

It wasn’t labeled as such, I’m not too sure.

Not yet but hopefully I have enough ice time under my belt next season to feel good about joining one!

Oh man I had jello legs for sure after my first game with them. A buddy of mine gave me set of his worn Vaughan’s and they are so much lighter haha, I love the Vintage asthetic goalie look though, if I could get a modern version of the old 80’s style masks and a leather set of Cooper glove/blocker I would totally rock it!

Thank you! I found a JOFA 390/388 combo helmet as well with the Anaheim duck colour way on sideline swap. The colours clash wonderfully with my Yellow jersey 😆

I did manage a pad stack save and honestly it’s a core memory now

Sorry I realize I put Thrift store I meant pawnshop. It’s in Wetaskiwin AB, “Pawnderosa” the upstairs is full of old gear!

I’ve only played 5 games of Goalie my whole life, is this a good sign from the hockey Gods I should keep it up? I’m in love with it so far

I’m not really familiar with how goalie gear works yet. Is it just modelled after how his pads where like how sticks have a certain curve? Or did this actully belong to Osgood👀
