Pronger Skate?/Ankle Protection?

[Shane91 0]

Hey guys are those some kind of extra protection or are just they the skate tongues. How do you get the extra long tongues or if they are some type of pad where would i find those? Thanks here is a link to some pictures.

I can't tell you what exactly they are, but I do have a buddy that gets all of his skates custom so that the tongues are bent forward and over his laces til near the end of the skate on purpose for the little added protection that they can provide.

He did used to have long tongues...but those are extra pads. You lace through them and they give you some extra protection on the front of your foot. Some players attach them to the sides by their ankles, like Leetch. It's been discussed before, and quite recently too.

Pronger's skates are the Reebok 9k Pump. They are fitted with extra long skate tongues for extra protection...as previously mentioned. He does that with all his skates.

Sorry Krog, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you buddy. If you look through all of Pronger's pics (even the most recent ones on gettyimages) you can clearly see that the the little piece of protection has a black lace through it, attaching it to the skate. Also, you can see in some pics where his shinpad ends, and the top of the skate is. You can see gaps between the pad, his shinpad and his skate. If it were a tongue, you wouldn't be able to see all that. The reason you can, is because the pad is loose and just kinda dangles from the top of his skate.

Now if you go back further to the pics of when he's on the Blues, you can see he has Vapors with long tongues. No gaps. Plus in one pic, the tongue has flipped up on him.

I'll have to re-look at the pictures.

But I was referencing what my buddy, who's head of PR for the blues told me about his skates while he was in St. Louis.

Didn't CCM make a shinpad with those things that dangle down from the bottom? So I'm guessing they're that little pad attached to his shin pad.

A company makes them. They look like little squares or circles of black material with very hard foam of some kind in them. You lace up your boot, and then on the top eyelets you lace it through this pad then tie your skates. It's actually a pretty simple device.

ya i never noticed that before, i always thought he just went tounges out

[hitz14 0]

to me it looks like when he had XX they were extra long tounges, but with the rbks he has like a floating ankle pad

Some of us have seen the auctions for his skates in the past. ;)

Pronger is like 6'6 and he's in an 8.5 skate??? I'm 5'7 and I'm in 8-9 skates. Damn, he must have a really small...stick. He must use really small sticks.

I personally know they arent extra tongues. my buddy's brother has got them the are called 'shot blockers ' i think. They are extra padding which you buy seperately

i have got a pair ordered when i test them give you results.

[aamir212 0]

its a guard, we sell one at work similar to it, its called skate guard or skate mate i think or something like that. Its a piece that goes over your laces and protects the front of your foot from shots. You can also get it so two pieces come up and protect your ankles.

[Shane91 0]

Where would I find these online? Crutesie where did you order them from?

[aamir212 0]

I know we sell them at National Sports they run at 39.99 for the portection just on the tongue and if you want the tongue with ankle protection they are 59.99
