looks like Tyler Seguin is wearing a warrior helmet. Benn was seen in a CCM. I’m thinking there will be no more blank Easton helmets now.

Thanks

Hi guys. I’m looking at a Sherwood EK15 stick with the vintage graphic on it. I’ve never owned a Sherwood stick and hear great things about he EK365. Is the EK15 the top of the line stick? I’m used to using CCM Tacks sticks and ribcores as well as the odd time a Bauer 1X. I know it’s low kick but how does it compare in quality to the Ribcore and 1X? Is it a decent stick for $140 CAD? Thanks

Gloves with the best finger protection?
Oilers97 replied to Oilers97's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I’m looking for hopefully some pro stock HGTKXP gloves in black 13”. I heard they have much thicker D3O in them as opposed to my retail ultra Tacks. And im in Canada yes and I refuse to pay anything close to that much in shipping. 20USD absolute max. I’ve heard bad stuff about PSH from Americans as well. So I’m just sticking to sideline swap. I’ve had good luck selling. -
Not sure I like it. Looks so similar to the Bauer reakt. But I havent seen It up close.
-
What helmet is Matthews wearing? Maybe its just a Tacks but the angle makes it seem different.

Gloves with the best finger protection?
Oilers97 replied to Oilers97's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I’ve been looking and looking for a pair of CCM XP gloves in 13” new. I have a feeling I’ll like the fit and what I’m getting online. I keep watching sideline swap. And I don’t know why the shipping for me is outrageous for pro stock hockey. Maybe I’m messing up. It still says over 50 USD -

Oilers97 replied to Oilers97's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Yes. No way am I paying 70USD for shipping. Absolute joke. I wish I was kidding... I was looking at some on a huge markdown at a store. Are the retail ones any good or should I go pro stock? -
Hi guys. I currently have a pair of ultra Tacks which I love the feel and fit of but I twice in one game got hit in the fingers and bruised them. One I almost broke, other just stung. I’m thinking about just switching back to my franchise but as much as I love them, they don’t fit me the best overall. They seem a tad too big and my hand mobility is less than the ccm gloves. I cant find any new hgtkxp gloves in my area in a 13” (I’ve heard they were a great option and similar to mine) and I’d also much prefer to try them on. I’m willing to try any fit to be honest.

Wheeler wearing more Bauer now. Seems to be more going to warrior from Bauer not the other way. Could be testing still.
-
Update: I played last night with the profile II i2. And oh wow what a difference. I could see the puck I was getting passes and it felt so much more comfortable than the warrior. I don’t feel useless anymore!!!! Thanks everyone for your feedback and ideas. I feel safe and can see.

Helmet screws stuck and just spin in place?
Oilers97 replied to Oilers97's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Okay. Will go buy epoxy. I did try super glue and alas the same issue happened. One screw is completely stuck. I freed the one. It has the original hardware and I’m thinking pliers is my solution. Just gotta go get a smaller needle nose. -
Helmet screws stuck and just spin in place?
Oilers97 replied to Oilers97's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
One has the slit (I just replaced it) the other is the stock screw and it doesn’t have the same slit (it’s very very small. I’ll try pliers). How do I prevent this in the future? -
Hi! I’m having some issues with my vector 8 helmet. Basically on one side the screws keep getting stuck. I all ready had one screw removed today at the LHS and they just recommended putting a new washer part (I have a few) in and it should be fine. Nope. Now the other screw on that side is spinning and I need to get a cage on this helmet. Does anyone know what to do and more importantly stop it from happening? My other v08 doesn’t have this issue.
-
Hey guys. I decided and got the Bauer profile II i2 (black outside white inside) hell of a time getting it on but it feels amazing. Wayyyyyy better than the warrior. It feels like it fits and sits right. Chin is in the right spot. Will use it Friday so we will see how it goes! Thanks for your help. I’ll keep the rest in mind too if I don’t end up liking this.
-
Thanks again everyone. Going to go to the LHS with my helmet and try things out. I don’t remember having such severe issues in minor hockey. But now I can barley see (didn’t wear glasses back then). But I went into a harder shooting, faster league and I’m definitely wearing a cage. Taken 2 pucks to the helmet and cage so no way. Going to see all they have and go from there. I’m not going to paint my own I don’t think. I thought about it but then the chipping issue could be bad. Also I am worried about a fishbowl fogging up badly. What i I truly want is a way to use my tinted visor and a cage attachment but I don’t think it exists. Even a clear visor (not top mounting) and a cage bottom. It’s because of severe fogging I had in the past.
-
I wore a cage in minor (24 now) and really only started up again 2 years ago. I just was getting too afraid. But I’m going to see if I can find a white bar cage here in town or I’ll order it online.
-
Thank you. I had no idea cages could be different sizes from the helmet. I was using a medium warrior on a medium v08 and it was too big. Thanks everyone.

Hi. I currently have a vector 08 with a warrior cage off my PX+ (grey) as I didn’t like how huge it was. But even when I had it on the proper helmet, I can’t see a damn thing out of it. I always lose and miss the puck on passes and I’m missing easy one timers. I’m usually very good at this but it’s affected my game badly. I also wear glasses so it gets really bad at times. Contacts are t an option due to my all ready very sensitive eyes. I am too too much of a chicken to go back to a visor. In that, I had zero issues with puck reception and one timers. I have a Bauer HDO pro clip. It is also tinted which helped with my eye issues. But I was always so afraid of getting hit in the Face id never go into the corners, stand by the net etc. And I did take a pass off the jaw. So lucky it wasn’t worse. I am looking at the Bauer profile II i2. I’m not sure if it fits well on a CCM helmet. I don’t think I want the full shield as when I reffed years ago the top mount visor (Bauer X100 I think?) fogged so bad I couldn’t see. I just need something so I can see what I’m doing. I’ve become useless and I always lose it in my feet and in front of me in ways I never used to. Any other suggestions or feedback on this cage? Thanks guys.

https://instagram.com/ccmhockey?igshid=3isw286gg514 Check out CCM story. Here’s a better photo of the helmet. I have. Screenshot but don’t know how to upload images
-
Exactly my thoughts. Prob get a 0 like the alpha and the Tacks 😂
-
Yeah... it looks so weird. I know chara was the model but it seems so low profile. Hard to say how the pro reception would be. The reakt 200 never got time at the NHL level same goes for the Fitlite 500. They really are appealing to the consumer market as a “concussion proof” or ultra safe helmet. That being said the Warrior Alpha Pro was very popular this year. I think I’ll stick with my V08s lol.
