hahaha!!!! Hard pass there man..... That's like the Great Gazoo!!!

Pros get what they want. A good number don't know what they want. And surprisingly few are picky.

Thats pretty typical for this group. I sub for them occasionally and 99% of the time I have to do all of the heavy lifting.

I'm gonna get laughed outta town on this one, but my favorite stick for a long time in the early 00s was the Trilage. Fit my hand perfectly and the control was amazing. Feel wasn't the best, neither was the kick, but i felt like I could do anything i tried in terms of controlling the puck. Runners up would be the One95 stick that just launched em and the TPS TriCore with the round shaft (also the Easton Cyclone shaft shape). The One95 was probably also my favorite boot, those or S500s

Cooper Techniflex TF1000 Gloves. When I was a kid these were the bees knees. I still have a pair and they are absolute buckets with terrible range of motion in the fingers but damn they still look good!

Depending on how mobile you need it to be, a big melamine tile from Home Depot with pledge sprayed on it is a great option. Pucks slide great, and it’s probably less than $40 after taxes. But, if you’re trying to move it indoors to outdoors on a regular basis, it is unwieldy and heavy. I cut mine down to two smaller pieces. I stand on one piece and shoot off of the other. Works great!

I'll jump on the aluminum Easton bandwagon - way too stiff for me. One beautiful looking wood stick that I loved the look of but was way to stiff for me was a Branches wood stick. Small local used hockey shop (LONG gone) from decades ago had quite a few of them.

Honestly, I find them to be a little wider. As mentioned earlier, I went from an EE width in the MX3 to a D width in the 2S Pro. And my 8.5D Ultrasonic goalie skates are a touch wider than my 8.5D 2S Pro player skates. I’d have to try on sizes to see, but I’m wondering if I could even get into an 8.5 Fit 1 Ultrasonic player skate, when a previous Supreme D should be a new Fit 2.

Imagine the fzs but reversed. Basically the same lineup

Not weird at all. I've been around long enough to hear the stories of EQMs getting trucks and boats from reps for getting X amount of players in their product... But when it comes to holders, absolutely; if it makes an EQM's life easier by having everyone in the same holder, they're going to do it.

Disagree. These are pretty ugly:

Leetch wore 501s (the old model, not that mid line model from the 00's.)

The Graf Supra 707 was my jam as a kid.

As much as people complain about the aesthetics of modern skates, the giant gold print on those 707s is worse than almost anything anyone is putting out now.
