  1. Hey guys. I've been lurking in this forum for a little bit. I'm thinking about starting to play goal. However, I suffered a lower back injury about a year ago that I might be stuck with for life. I also have some knee issues but those are from being overweight at 5'6" and 275.

    I guess I'm asking if goaltending is hard on the lower back? I know it can be on the knees. I'm also getting back into the game after a little bit of a hiatus so my skating and everything isn't up to where it should be.

    Should I stick with playing out first and then maybe look at goaltending? Or go for it now? I'm not sure what to do.

    Any help is appreciated!

  2. Hey Bolt ... Not a dumb question at all. The JR/SR only represents the size [not age], that being said you're real close. Technically right on the line [JR goes from Y13 to 5.5]. I would lean towards the SR as you can modify it down if you really had too. Also the brand of skate comes in to play as well. The great thing is we look at your skate size and brand when you place an order so we can make sure we suggest the best options for you.

    Also, keep in mind the POWERFOOT comes with a satisfaction guarantee, if the initial POWERFOOT sent doesn't fit the toebox [see what I did there! lol] we’ll make sure we get you the right size.

    Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for your interest in the POWERFOOT!

    Great, thanks. I went with the SR so we'll see how it goes! Eager to report back!

  3. When you go outside to shoot some pucks around but you can’t even make it more than 10 minutes without being in intense pain from a back injury from a car accident that was a year ago... oh and you were just about to start playing on a club team at university after not playing since May 2013. Awesome.


  4. Went to the Lets play hockey expo and saw the new Covert DT1 gloves.

    What a disappointment. They were ugly.... Shoudlve kept the luxe look and simply renamed it and improve protection by adding plastic inserts throughout.

    That weird air mesh on the glove and the disappearance of the Silver Shield. Almost looks like a Mission glove.

    Stitched logo made it look like a quality glove but id take the luxe anyday.

    I was depressed they didnt showcase the new protective gear.

    They know how to throw a fun atmosphere and had sick pro stock gloves and stick to showcase.

    Still love warrior but i think they dropped the ball on the new Covert Gloves.

    They're really comfortable though. The new liner is really nice.
