Update:
Hot glue gun from the dollar store didn't do jack sh*t.Found the glue I used last time. Amazingly it still came out of the tube even after like 10 years of sitting under my sink. I think it's going to work fine.

What's the appropriate glue to re-adhere the occipital pad of my Easton Stealth S13 helmet?
It's the gray piece at 12 o'clock in the picture below. The pad seems to be EVA and it normally sticks to both the plastic outer shell as well as the EPP liner.
In the ancient past, I remember having good results reattaching helmet padding using some clear gel that came in a big toothpaste-like tube, but I can't remember what it was.
Thanks!

Anybody familiar with this product?

Like, is it any different than the Green Biscuit? -

Any idea why MIPS exclusivity didn't happen in other sports? Like did True offer a huge amount of money or are there other aspects involved?

Anybody know if CCM or Warrior (or even Bauer) plan on incorporating MIPS in their future helmets?

The study cited above is for non-check beer leagues (which is personally most relevant to me) but we don’t have to limit our discussion to that.
I used to wear those football style pads but switched over to Sher-wood 9950s because I play where people “aren’t supposed to check me.”

No worries. Glad I understand you better too.
Reminds me of when Cascade claimed to have superior protection. Then Bauer refuted it. And then Bauer bought them.
Maybe custom helmets are too new for any data/evidence to exist but I’m hoping that it catches on enough that we can at least begin to study it.
Maybe this feature will come out from the big brands soon?

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but your response seems oddly confrontational when it seems like we'd both agree that evidence is good.

That is, if you're looking for the most protective shoulder pads out there, what would you look for?
In case you're wondering why I'm asking, I was skimming this study:
Caputo P, Mattson DJ. Recreational ice hockey injuries in adult non-checking leagues: a United States perspective. J Sports Sci Med. 2005;4(1):58-65. Published 2005 Mar 1.And it says (emphasis my own):
Key Points
-
The injury incidence rate was found to be 12.2/1000 player-exposures, similar to previous Canadian literature.
-
The concussion rate was 1.1/1000 player-exposures.
-
38% of injuries involved a lack of protective equipment and 24% of injuries involved penalties.
-
Full facial protection and shoulder pads should be compulsory.
-
Strict enforcement of game rules is necessary.
-
History of prior injuries was found in 89% of injured players.
There are several threads here asking for recommendations on low-profile/lightweight/minimalist shoulder pads, but I only saw one asking for more protective shoulder pads. Was just wondering what your thoughts would be if protection was your #1 priority.

Do all high-end helmets have EPP?
Anybody know if the CCM pod helmets (introduced with the Resistance models, I believe) have EPP? If not, what do they use instead?
-
Saw two replies mentioning data and proven science--what are some of the evidence out there regarding current helmet technologies?
Are you excited about MIPS?

Do you guys know what companies are making PPE for consumers?
I know it's dorky on the level of wearing a Tackla belt with your jeans, but maybe I still want to represent my sport while protecting myself from viruses.
I know Bauer has this:

(I really liked this stick in particular. I have another one90, but I really liked that one.)
is this you? :)
Mr. Sharp, why did you retape your blade after your game against the Red Wings? Did you not realize it was broken?

ha i dunno if that's him... guess it might be, but they also have howard cosell on their team so who knows... the link at the top goes to a record label site but it's not his label... would be pretty cool if he was into hockey...
The name matches and I've heard word floating around the league that it's him, although I never really kept my eyes peeled for the hairy bastich. It's no secret that Matisyahu grew up playing, and still plays hockey when he gets the chance (try googling Matisyahu and hockey), but I can't tell you whether or not he was a full time player for that team. As far as I can tell, and from my experiences, a lot of the guys on that roster are in the music biz.

I saw Mando Diao the other night. I believe they opened with the song "Welcome Home, Luc Robitaille". How topical.

I'll second Mando Diao if rock n roll is what you're looking for.

I have callouses at the back of my heel now that I didn't have when I used my old Mega 10-90s.
On the other hand, if I'm not wearing a long enough sock, the top of the 8090 boot chafes a line in the skin above my ankle on the outside. Anybody else have this problem?
anything left to salvage?

I dug my Bauer Biax X90 skates out of storage. The number of times I've used them can be counted on one hand, but the wheels are so old they shattered upon light impact, and the (cosmetic?) plastic on the boot and tongue is fragile and cracks easily.
Is there anything worth holding onto? Chassis, bearings?
