Yeah, The shins even have the CCM logo molded into the pad. SMH... Man some old 6070/ 7k shins and some 8066 elbow pads would be insane!

I'm seeing pics all over Social Media of the resurrection of the JOFA branded protective gear. From what I have seen it only model of the following, shoulders, elbows, shins, gloves and the old 580 cage. It doesn't look like anything special and in a way very nostalgic. I can see that it is using the D3O foam, The shoulders look like an old pair of the Vector shoulder pads just rebranded as I'm sure the cage will be the same. I guess I'm just happy to see this name back in the game. Now I can only hope that they bring back the wrist guards and jocks that are still used and sought after today.

Don't let the low price of the OG Blue fool you. This stick is probably the best bang for your buck My curve transition through the years has been slowly consistent. P89, P88, P38, P29,PRO9271, PRO9246 The PRO9271 is a P88 with a toe curve and a P92 blade shape. I still use it as a fun backup.

I do have a handful of friends rocking the PRO29 Laine curve and swearing by it. I will say that it does have a nice blade shape and a deep pocket.

Yes the PRO4466 is the old school CCM BERGERON. The PRO46 is the Spurgeron Pro Curve,. Basically a P92 with a sick toe hook

I'd suggest lookin at the PRO38. Great transition curve from a P88 with an awesome blade shape and size.

I personally don't think these reviews matter as people are going to buy it anyway due to some idiot influencer on YouTube who thinks EVERY new stick is the best or a Pro is using a stick with the latest graphics. I only know of one guy who does long term true reviews on YT and pays for most all of his own sticks because the big boys wont send him product due to crapping on their stuff at one point or another. Either way, parents are going to give in, buy the stick their kid wants and let him or her beat it to hell and do things with it that its not made to do because they want to be their kids friend and not their parent. Those of us on here, well, that's a great part of why we're all here. Simply to help and spread the word, good or bad. I can say that I have learned a lot from many of you over the years on this site.

For what its worth, A friend of mine just got a P46 KYC stick.

Funny, in that picture it looks very similar to the PRO9271

I personally have not however a good friend of mine did and decided to stick with the P28.

Happy you like the OG BLUE. The custom build will be the Redline Mid kick. Its actually a bit liter. (375g) and tough as nails.

Here is a photo of what I had added. You can fold it down and it will protect the lower area as you were wanting of fold it up to protect that area between your shoulder pads and pants.

Truth be told, I don't know of any belly flap that has truly been worth a damn other than back when Warrior added the extra (sixpack) protection in it a few years back. I personally had my pants modified with the Small Nash pad and its been great.

I can say with confidence that Superfeet are my go to insoles. I have always heat molded them in my skates and have at times skated hard for three hours with absolutely no pain in my feet.
