Pic request: Butch Goring's skates

Recommended Posts

I was just talking to him and he told me about his velcro skates. He said they were made by Bauer, but forgot the model. The only pics I could find were pretty low quality. Anybody got a good picture of these skates? Not necessarily of Butch wearing them, though. Thanks in advance.

What's he up to? I"m a huge Butch Goring fan and a proponent that he should be in the Hall of Fame. Bill Masterson Tropny, Lady Byng Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy, 4 Stanley Cups, countless runner ups for the Selke and other trophies.... I can't believe he's not in it.

He coached the local team to consecutive IHL Turner Cup championships as well.

He's living in NYC, analyst for Isles games. He's also the head of the New York Cyclones youth hockey program. Plays 2-3 times a week. Seems to be enjoying life.

A lot of people share your sentiments on Butch in the HHoF, but at least his helmet is there.

Look at the cuffs on those old Jofa 686's! (Although it looks like they have "Canadien" branded on the cuff roll)

The older 686 JOFA gloves had "professional" marked on the cuff. Later on it was changed to JOFA on the cuff.

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks :)
