I know we were all sad when CPR closed down, but Ian at ITR has really stepped up his game. Here are two custom built gloves he repalmed for me. Both were modeled after the Hawks’ 2015 Winter Classic appearance where they wore multi-colored gloves like they did in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and early 90’s before switching to an all black glove with small red accents like they have today. All teams would look so much better with more colorful gloves IMO

I've always come back to the Quad. I've tried everything out there except for the Polaris. Personal preference, of course.

I called CCM and the guy that answered the phone said this is releasing in September 2026 (he said, "I cannot give you an exact date, would you like an estimated date?" I said, sure" and he said "Sept 2026" ... I thought I would get a more generic time region like Fall or Summer or whatever so I was happy with his response. I asked about helmets and I cannot recall exactly what he said, either "Do not know yet," "Cannot say," or "Will have to wait and see." Cool guy/ A++ for customer service as far as I am concerned. I need a new pair of elbows as I am still using my CCM U+ Crazy Lights from 2013 or so.

Another glove find, NEW unused Torspo gloves. Very nice gloves, low cuff.

Same as the old Tacklas, as far as I can tell. I'm 6'1 and somewhere between 32"-34" inch waist, and the large fits me well

It's mostly a formality to keep the trademarks, same story as why Bauer chucks something with the Easton logo out there every now and then :/

I don’t know if i’m on the extreme side. I havent really though of it, because there is a few Sr players on the club that also use 41mm. What profile they’re on, i don’t know but after speaking to other coaches from other U13 teams on education days and so on, it seems as if we (our club) use shallower hollows than most other clubs on U13 level here. Most seem to be on somwhere around 20-25mm on their U13 players.

My custom eagles. CP94s with Hossa cuff. Yellow Mustang Palms

Let's see a pic of the current state of these, because DIY gear mods are great

I haven’t been active much lately with recovery from a broken knee, and lack of ice times. I was the same, blowing good money after bad on shoulders that didn’t fit right. Before I got hurt, stopped wearing my shoulders, a pair of older Supreme TotalOnes, and started wearing a padded shirt that I made. Which was fine, until some plug who I play with and can’t aim took a shot during warm ups and bounced it off my shoulder. I put my TOnes on, and remembered how bulky they were. I went back to the grind stone ,and saw an archived post here and then it dawned on me: I had always assumed removing the caps meant the whole piece, and never considered removing the hard shells from the foam. Fast forward, a couple hours of seam ripping, and getting some donor material from a pair of older X800 SMU shoulders (mostly for the Velcro and an extra foam pad), and here’s what I have. I restrung the shells with some 10lb test fishing line and glued some Velcro on the back side for when I need the hard shells, which is rarely. The black vapor foam is if I need extra padding without needing the shells. Otherwise, just rocking the TOne foam with the bicep guards.

RIP 😧
