Old and busted with the new hotness. Was able to get these on clearance for $370±.

At 38, I am putting on the goalie gear for the first time in my life tomorrow. Hour long beginner clinic, followed by an hour long scrimmage. I've played hockey my whole life. I played defense all throughout school, and transitioned into playing forward once I hit beer league. Now I skate out one night on defense, and one night as a forward in my leagues. Looking forward to learning something knew. All my gear was purchased second hand on GGSU (except mask/dangler.,goalie jock, and sticks, which were purchased new). Looking forward to the clinic, and even more so the scrimmage. Gonna be rough, but hopefully a lot of fun.

Played my first league game last night after fucktard broke my ankle four+ months ago. I was doing well at first. Still hard to get up but it is what it is. I ended up letting in a super soft goal. Distance shot, one of the ones where you're 95% sure it's going to be blocked and don't want to go down in case it DOES get blocked and you're down and out. Especially with how hard it is to get up. Second goal was a rebound that went to a wide open guy in front of the net. I doubt I would have gotten to it even at 100%. Third goal was the most painful one. Damn thing just bounced around the crease for a good 20 seconds it felt like, and I just couldn't get a handle on it. Somehow it ended up going in while I was standing? I have absolutely no idea, but I'll have to watch the video to figure out what happened. Last goal (winning goal) was a really good tip that went 5-hole. Hopefully we'll see much less of those once I have my new pads! I made some pretty good saves. Mostly the glove (which is one reason I'm so terrified to use my new glove....) and one toe save to my left in the first period. Probably won't look as nearly as amazing in the video as it felt at the time, though. They never seem to, really.

Only six years younger than I when I first strapped on the pads. It is a rewarding AND frustrating position. But I have a funny feeling that you will become ADDICTED. Welcome to the brotherhood.

Awesome!! Good luck, and welcome to the club :) What gear did you get?!

by far, I think the most skilled player on the USA team I believe is Patrick Kane. His speed, puck handling and shot is just top notch.

I got these new NYI Stadium Series team stock AX1's off Sideline Sports on Tuesday for $120, and what made it even better was that the seller was right up the freeway from me and I got them the next day. Really happy with this find, I am in love with the colorways.

I have always used lacrosse elbow pads while playing. I read a bunch about how much the STX Surgeons felt like lacrosse pads finally decided to try them out. The mobility in these are far better than any hockey elbows I have ever tried on before.
