Updated... Helmet: Black Bauer 5000 with a Chrome CCM cage Shoulder Pads: Bauer something, don't know the model # Elbowpads: Some really Old Jofa elbows, but really nice Pants: CCM 152 Shin Pads: CCM 652 Skates: CCM Vector 6.0 Gloves: TPS HGT Gloves 13 in. Stick: Jr. Mission M-1 Gaborik Back up Stick: Either an Int. Mission L-2 with Team USA Nike blade, or a Sherwood 9950 jr. woodie, amazing wood stick, maybe the best out there

Hm I like the way the XX Stickum looks, and yeah I second that the rubber sleeve thing is a good idea, sounds good to me for 05

Wow, looks like somebody likes Synergy equipment..................

Reviewer background: 5 foot 2, 110 pounds, 14 years old Bantam A ice hockey Usage before review: About 5-6 games Test Blade: Nike Team USA Blade shaved down to fit Lemeuix Pattern Shaft shape/flex: I am using a 75 flex shaft that I got from kovalchuk71. I really like the flex on it, doesn't really feel like an Easton 75 though...but I love the flex on this shaft. It's not too stiff, but not too flexy. 9/10 Stickhandling/Passing: As of now, I really like the way I am recieving/giving passes and stickhandling. This shaft has the perfect feel in my hands, but I may want to try and get a Gaborik pattern L-2 blade, or something close to it, to see how it responds with a tapered blade. 9.5/10 Weight/Balance: Weight is perfect for me. I definitely feel it is perfect fo me, and the balance is great. 10/10 Shooting: Amazing with the shaft. Has taken over #1 spot over the M-1. No goals with it yet, but I have been in quite a scoring drought lately. 10/10 Durability: Definitely a Tank. got a few hard slapshots that got up on the shaft, but no damage. Taken some nasty slashes to it, nothing but a very little paint chip. 9.5/10 Conclusion: Definitely an amazing stick. I would recommend this shaft to anyone that is looking for a stick, and who likes tapered shafts. But I still would like to try an L-2 blade, or an XV, to get the feel of a tapered stick, not just the shaft Final review score: 9.5/10

Helmet: Bauer 5000M Visor: None, use a cage Shoulder pads: Bauer 1000 or 2000 I forget Elbow pads: Really really old Jofas, been using em for loongg time Gloves: Eagle X70i's(love them) Pants: CCM 152's Shin pads: CCM 652's Skates: CCM Vector 6.0's Stick: Mission M-1 50 flex, Easton Synergy Int. EDIT: Recently switched to chrome CCM cage, and am now using an M-1 and a Vapor X shaft with a CCM Vector 20 Blade(Recchi) or Synergy Grip shaft with same blade...don't really like the Synergy Int. anymore

Wow those gloves are awesome looking, I'd like to get my hand on a pair, but it wouldn't go well with my teeam colors of white/black/orange(hence the name Flyers Youth)

Product - Eagle x70i gloves 5 foot 4, 115 lbs Winger Fit - When I tried these gloves on, the first thing that came to mind was wow, I couldn't believe how comfortable they were. These were definitly the most comfortable gloves I have ever laid eyes on, so I had to get them. Now I have had them for about 5 months, and I wouldn't change to another company 10/10 Protection - Protection was without a doubt a plus on my scale, except for the shorter wrist section of the glove. Otherwise, I had not had any problems, they aren't too big but aren't too small, perfect size. 9/10 Weight - Weight really isn't that much of a factor to me, but they actually seemed lighter than a lot of teh other gloves I had tried on. 9/10 Durability - I've had them for 5 months now, and the only thing wrong with the glove is that there is a minor hole on the thing on the left glove. Otherwise no wear whatsoever. 10/10 Intangibles - Nothing that I could really find. 8?/10 Conclusion - amzing glove, definitly top of the line, I would definitly get a pair if you are willing to pay the price(109.99US). MY view in my books is a 10/10
