Vintage/Old Cages- Where to find?

[eric42434224 1]

Looking for an old-school, vintage cage for adult league hockey. You know the ones. Flat-ish with not much wrap around, and semi-cat-eye design.

Not huge protection, but enough for a high stick or puck. Anyone know where to get one of these? Saw one on ebay of a guy selling new ones, but looked like it didnt give hardly ny protection (hole in cage way too big).

Thanks in advance, and I will post in WTB as well.

No, that is a goalie cage.....but thanks!

I have scoured ebay and google, but I havent seen anything.

I was just wondering if anyone had one, or knew someone who did.

Is this the only thing out there?

They have the extra cheek bar added, but do you think the holes are just too big for C level, no checking, adult league?

I want better vision, but I also still want protection from a puck or stick.

Have you considered the Itech FX-50 ? I have the Rebellion cage you mention and a stick blade can definitely fit through the bars.

Thanks for the info on the rebellion. I have seen guys with old cages similar to those, but stick definitely coudlne get in those, so the rebellion is kind of out.

I have heard the FX 50 is heavy. Is it any heavier than a full cage?

What about the concept II DLX? or the Recon? Is fog, scratches, and heat the problems with full shields?

Yep, FX-50 is definitely heavier than a regular cage. You might want to try a find a welder who could add a couple of bars to the Rebellion, but at that point you'd be approaching what a regular cage has to offer.

Contact prenny207 - he used to sell a cat-eye player's cage.

FX-50 is heavier but that didn't bother me so much as the fogging.

Maybe it's the warm rinks around here or I'm a knuckle dragging mouth breather, but even using anti-fog between every skate and skating 1-1:30 min shifts, it'll still fog up halfway through the shift.

I got tired of wiping down between shifts and switched to a cage.
