mik3 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 When I joined corebeam I had probably two pairs of gloves, three sticks, two helmets and one of everything else. Now I have a wall of sticks, 35 pairs of gloves, about ten helmets and three sets of everything else. And that's after a fire last month caused me to lose about 10 sticks, 10 or so pairs of gloves, two pairs of skates and 5-6 helmets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drewhunz 3 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I've thought about it, and after several request pm's I've decided to suspend updating pics of my gloves and sticks for the time being.Photobucket account got deleted and it will take all day to get another pic retaken and get the fear put away.

BlackIce 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I'm not as bad as some of you guys. However, after a pick up game a few weeks ago a guy said to me" Dude, do you work at a Hockey Store"? I asked him why. He replied, " you got nice gear". It was at that moment that I realized that I am a budding Gear Whore. Have to keep myself in check :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fastbrother7 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Yeah a buddy of mine has almost half a garage full of hockey gear. Fortunately for him, his brother's on-ice employment (NHLer) allows him to reap the pro-stock benefits, so he doesnt necessarily feel the financial pain of actually having purchased 10 one 95 sticks or gloves or whatever lol What's so funny about it is that the guy beaks me of all people. Go figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatwabbit 93 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 Yea... i kinda felt it was a habit when I broke into the 20s of the number of sticks I had... now its down to a manageable dozen or so.At the height, it was 6 pairs of skates, 8 pairs of gloves... down to 4 pairs of skates, and well, 8 pairs of gloves.

jds 20 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 So I'm surfing the online hockey classified ads which I only do every 20 minutes or so and I spot this pair of old Jofa gloves for $10 in mint condition. So's I swing by the guy's house and pick 'em up even though I don't need gloves. They just looked "kinda cool". Then I think , "I should start a glove collection" .Please dear God, someone intervene here before it's too late.( I wish you could sell your blood in Canada) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrWizard 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 I have the same love/hate relationship as most of you here.Although, I think some of the pictures people have shown of their stick collections has really helped me with the girlfriend :PAll of a sudden my 9 sticks don't seem so bad. Stupid pro stock sale at National Sports probably means I'll be adding another one too.To my credit, I'm trying to part with a few in the marketplace, just no bites :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

furlanitalia 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 Thankfully I'm nothing like Drewhunz, TBLfan or half you guys with stick collections lol. Ironic part is I'm probably one of the only guys whose girlfriend encourages him to get new stuff. Other than my 3 sticks and 2 pairs of gloves I don't think I'm only out of the ordinary because of how little I have. I do keep every broken shaft/stick I see which is a little unsightly. That said it is new skates day today and we'll see if a stick happens end up coming home with me today as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
