Couple of decent shots from a game a couple of weeks ago...

Great to see you connecting with us through MSH. With 5 sets of STEP in my circulation I am a huge advocate. MSH is a great way to get feedback from players! Welcome aboard!!

Having spent some time in the area and having skated there a bit there isn't much. Polar Ice in Chandler has a nice space but the shop (Players Bench) - closed and then became goalies only. Not sure what it is now - its been many years.

Make me a P46 and I'd be happy to demo it! LOL

We gonna go down this road again...lol? I will say for my part - as I said before - I do not believe that these tests really say much about a helmet's ability to prevent concussions. The whiplash and momentum is too great and the amount of movement the brain has within the skull cannot EVER be prevented by a helmet.

@Haggerty might know....

what you can do is participate in the MSH Pro Sharp project! Lots of info and opportunity! http://modsquadhockey.com/forums/forum/191-the-prosharp-project/

Racist but iconic... bought myself a swasitika armband at garage sale last month so I can hold onto those fond memories.... ugh.

No.

Never wore anything other than a helmet when I was coaching. The HS kids were fine because they can skate but you gotta watch your ass around mites!!! Those suckers have a way of getting in under your legs and behind you!!

I had ankle placement issues. Both outside ankle bones were well forward of the pocket. You need to get them punched. They need to sit on the punch over night and you may have to do it again. @JR Boucicaut did mine. They can be fixed but you need someone really good and patient.

Eric, guess you went to the Rinx eh?

Chris and I play together... he and I have to check the schedule every week and then we post updates to the team web site. It's a pain in the ass.

Knew a guy that used to wear latex surgical gloves under his hockey gloves. He was a germaphobe.

I am also a P46 user. I've stocked up and now have 7 in circulation! Personally your best bet is going back to the P92. The P28 isn't bad either but neither is as good as the 46. Be patient... they do pop up on Sideline swap occasionally.

P46 is now a special order to retailers.

And mats, and toiletry bags, and helmets bags.... but I digress.. that's really swag. yawn

Same here... I am comfortable and wasting that money to replace what working seems like a waste. When I see something innovative - like when I bought my Warrior Alpha gloves - that was fun. I agree. I've got plenty of joy for the game though at my talent level goals and sauce passes are few and far between!

Wine...... we haven't met yet. If we had you'd understand.

I spent years looking for the perfect shoulder pads and finally made up some frankenpads that I love so that settled that. Shins and elbows are now comfy thanks to a good recommendation from JR. Like my gloves too but I guess they will blow up eventually.... I guess I'm at the why bother phase. Kinda sad.

I've been playing for 17 years now... I started late in life. One of the things I loved about the game was the cool gear. I've bought tons of shit over the years and I know many of you gear whores have done the same. But now I find myself uninspired... bored perhaps.... or am I finally just satisfied with that I have? Have any of you also gotten stagnant on the gear hunt? Is it the lack of truly new offerings? Thoughts?

wow... awesome that you dialed back to us to show us the pads. I kinda like them!! Low profile!!!!

Yes

Yes we do. In fact I am calling you personally tomorrow at 3am!!

you did the right thing.
