Love the Christian goalie sticks, and that Heaton Brodeur too. I've still got a Belfour Christian tha's in perfect shape - after twelve years! It's tje ultimate backup stick.

B)--> QUOTE(Tyler B @ Oct 19 2007, 10:40 PM) ←yeah i got them at sportchek. they gave me 10% off cause i went there last night. bettween source for sports and sportchek i had 3 differnt skates on order for my size. They said they didnt have my size in and would phone me later if they could still find a pair in my size they would order them. They never phoned so this morning i called them and the guy said they must have not looked hard enough cause he had a pair in his hand at that exact moment. So the guy gave me 10% off because we could have got them yesterday. they sharpened tehm for me and what nto as well, shittiest sharpening ever aswell and they guys look when i said 1/2" hollow was priceless. lol hahaha - I love that look. It's even better when I ask random shops for 3/8" hollow as a goalie, and I actually get "Hhuuurrgghh?" in reply. "Oh, nevermind, I'll take them to my normal spot."

Yep - saw them in there last weekend when I was getting some extra runner-nuts for my RBK cowlings. Guy said it was one of their best selling SMUs - people love the old Tacks last. Now I just need someone to do an SMU 8090... :)

IIRC, nylon really intensely dislikes submersion.

Heh, that team's gotta be the envy of the league with their holders done up. Did you personalise or do them all the same?

Love it, love it, love it! :) I'm going to have to try this RIT-dye thing some day. I'm still paranoid about it coming off on the underside of my pads, but I'd love to do that LAX-head fade-dye by dipping the cowlings in the dye, in-and-out for a few hours. For now, I continue to look desperately for 8090s in my size... :(

Gorgeous, gorgeous skates... I could never get my foot halfway into a Vapor, but you can't argue with craftsmanship. Incredibly, there are still some Sportchek stores around Toronto that have stock of brand new Vapor 10's -- I saw them in my questing for Flexlites. Thanks for the help on my holder dilemma, by the way. I'm still dithering on Pitch or Cobra - I know the Pitch's are all-around superior, but since nobody around here stocks them, I'll probably go with the Cobras.

Just a plain old Simmons Matrix matched set. :) He's also just about to get beat five-hole or low-glove - hehe.

The employees in question wish to remain anonymous. :)

I wish that sentiment could be impressed upon a few people around Toronto... After my little escapade with my LHS, I've made the following resolutions: 1) When one of the three guys I (now) trust sharpens my blades, I'm giving the cash directly to them, with a tip if possible. The list price for a sharpening at this place is shockingly low - which I like, of course, being a broke grad student - but I think I could probably double it for them now and then. 2) If it's one of the guys I don't trust, I'll pay at the front and get a receipt. Story time: One of my favourite days in a hockey shop involved going with a buddy of mine (who was about to move overseas) out to a well-known goalie store. It was a bit of a trek, so we figured we'd make a day of it. Thing was, I didn't need any gear and my mate hadn't yet figured out how he was going to ship his stuff across the Pacific without effectively doubling its cost. Long story short: we weren't going to buy anything, but we were going to spend a lot of time in the shop. First, we called ahead and let them know we were coming. We figured out a day that would be relatively quiet, and settled on that When we showed up, we made sure to stay out of the way of real customers. Anything we touched, we put back. When the shop calmed down a bit, we sat around, tried out some stuff, and shot the shit, so to speak. Good times. At the end, we presented them with some beer, with the intention of leaving it as thanks for wasting their time. Hell with that, said the shopkeeps - we all went through to the stockroom and had a little afternoon sip to celebrate a pretty good day.

What the hell... here's a shot of me at a recent goalie clinic, using a pair of incredibly nice TPS Summit/R8 hybrid gloves loaned to me by The Other JR (Roons) from The Goalie Crease: (Wellsie has nothin'. ;))
