number21 3 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 His equipment guy probably just stole the piece from an unused pair and stitched it to sit high in Ovi's pair.You could find a piece of sturdy padding from some other piece of equipment (other pants, shoulder pads) and have a local shop or someplace with an industrial sewing machine stitch it in. Or send it to a hockey repair shop and they could do it. If you know how to sew I think you could get a sewing awl and some waxed thread and go to town. I don't know how to do it, but other memberS have made equipment mods/repairs on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

number21 3 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 yeah my local shop sucks, cant do any repairs and they never heard of swapping tongues, so its a easton piece, but S19 pant or does it look like it comes from a shoulder guardLooking again it looks like the sternum protector from the S19 shoulders. As far as the pants I have no idea what they are, the nike part may be a shell. Places like Peaches Pro Repair and George's Hockey repair would probably do a job like that. but shipping would be a pain and take some time. Or if you come up with the pieces you want put together, look locally for sports equipment repair or maybe fire equipment repair or even a leather repair shop. They could help you out or point you in a better directions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NextBobbyOrr 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 IMO, I'd be careful when stitching that. I've seen some times where that'll snap off. I think it did during the WC actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stuie7 6 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 also what nike pant is ovechkin using in this? thanks guysNike Pro pants, the pair I have (show below) are very similar to the Bauer pro pants I've got. Although they don't say Bauer on them anywhere, I suspect that is who made them. Maybe one of the guru's can weigh in on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

webes 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 i have the warrior hustlers which i really like in terms of mobility but they also have a really large tailbone pad as well as a pretty high low back pad..these combined with my older model reebok 8k shoulders(massive spine plate on them) cover my back really well. cross checks are a non factor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theflash0000 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 I was going to do this to a pair of Sande "The Show" pants I have b/c I have an old pair of ITech shoulders that leave a lot of my lower back exposed. I've got a bunch of extra pads lying around for scrap pieces, but I live in DC and I'm worried about looking like a poser :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tscharf 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 I'm pretty sure Ovi didn't have that piece sewn in for extra protection. He just likes being different and flashy. Same reason he has laces hanging 4 feet from the front of his pants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
