The event will begin with an exclusive presale on Friday, July 10 from 4:00-8:00 p.m. for 2015-16 Canes Season Ticket Holders. The sale includes used and non-used sticks, skates, hockey pants, pads, goalie gear and more. Most of the equipment has been used by past and present Canes players (not autographed), and there will be a few hundred items for sale (while supplies last). Equipment is bought as is, prices are non-negotiable, no bulk purchases and all sales are final. Cash and credit cards (American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa) will accepted. Season Ticket Holders who want to take advantage of Friday's presale will be required to show their Season Ticket Holder ID Card for entrance at the VIP entrance of PNC Arena. The remaining items will be sold to the general public during the Summerfest Celebration on Saturday, July 11 from 10:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. General Pricing (subject to change) Gloves: $20-$50 Goalie Gear: $100-$1400 (includes separates and complete sets) Jerseys: Practice Jersey ($35) and Former Player ($50-$100) – max purchase is six per person Player Pants: $30-$80 Sticks: $80 (used), $120 (new) Skates: $150-$400

I just hope one of the two shops in my area will carry it with that price point. I'd like to try it on and see if I like the fit. I have no problem with the $269 price tag, as I've always bought top end helmets for myself and my kid.

Is this price point correct for the helmet? It seems a little high.

Email I received from Easton about the middle of March said they had no plans to at this time for the E28 to be a blade only option.

It was something the Hurricanes announced and put out first to full STHers, corporate partners, and suite holders. It really was just first come first serve in terms of getting the registration form in. Game cost was $1500 with all proceeds going to the Hurricanes Kids 'N Community Foundation. Yes we did get to keep the jersey. The jersey they set us with were the authentics which are quite heavy, and came with a patch for the Alumni Game.

A few pics from the Carolina Hurricanes Fantasy Alumni Game. I'm #96, Hurricanes alumni who participated, Rod Brind'amour, Glen Wesley, Jesse Boulerice, Steve Rice, Aaron Ward, Steve Halko, Robert Kron, Shane Willis, Tripp Tracey, and Ron Francis.

A few pics of me from earlier this year. Will hopefully have some good ones from the upcoming Carolina Hurricanes Alumni game.
