You can always tell who the MSHers are in group shots- the one with the matching socks...

Everyone's legs are differnt lengths as well. You can't go strictly by height as a guide. The guys wearing the 12 and 13 inch shins on your team need to buy some adult equipment.

I'd like to see a pair of the pants in person- I like the ability to order shorter-longer inseams as needed.

A buddy of mine has TPS R8 lites in all white nylon- they somhow have actual dirt on them. White nylon is a bad idea as a general rule.

The TPS pads are indeed hockey shoulder pads, circa the early 1990's. Douglas made a similar pad that was very popular as well.

They had LAX protective a couple of years ago, so this isn't completly out of the blue.

1996 = Heavy (Think Douglas Defender Shoulder pads)

I can picture it,but The name escapes me as well. At any rate, those seemed to go over about as well as a fart in church....

Were those the ones that had the exoskeleton knee brace attached?

The shoulder/elbow pads look like they wll be about as popular as the Rawlings "Jam" fromn a few years back....

So did you bury it?

Underage or suspended license?

It's the angle of the tape.

Thanks for clearing that up, Go Pio's.

You would think for the Northland Gordie Howe sticks there would be a pattern #9, no?

What's up with your toes?

What's the deal with the 2 kids in the Team USA jerseys wearing neck guards for roller hockey? Is it an age requirment or overprotective mothers?

Will the nipple grip only work when it's cold?

Thanks Dougie, NJ Devils colors on the gloves. I like the 10.0's so far. I've been using them since this summer. They replaced a pair of older 652 pro stocks. The Vectors are much lighter. They broke in quickly, and thus far I've had no issues. I replaced the steel because I just don't care for the perforated stuff. I've always worn CCM, but there retail Tacks the last few years have left a lot to be desired. This is the first time in a while I felt comfortable buying a skate “off the rack†The Vectors are solid and I would recommend them.

Vector 10.0 and pro stock pro Tacks, Tackla 9000 pant, Bauer 4000 helmet and 480 CCM/Jofa cage, Jofa 8044 Elbows, Jofa 5070 pro stocks, I added calf wings to, CCM pro tacks gloves.

that is a great glove, i purchased a pair similar to those on ebay. if the auction has a "make an offer" option, go $70-$80 US, that would probably do it Be sure to get a quote on shipping before you commit- I was looking at a pair, and shipment to the US was close to 40 bucks. $40? Why? Assuming he is from Canada, how is it $40? I ship stuff to Canada all the time and the most its ever been is $15. Is it more coming out of Canada then going into? I shipped a pair of gloves to the USA for about 20$ Canadian with Expressmail. If its more than that he's probably just charging some more dough to make up for the low selling price of his auctions. This seems to be a general trend with ebay and with shipments across the border. . The shipper was in Canada, and shipped via UPS. There is another thread about a possible class action against UPS for their brokerage fees. I never said there weren't less expensive ways to ship - I was saying you may want to make sure you are comfortable with what your total cost, including shipping will be before you bid.
