Anyone know what kind of cages the pros use?

I was watching a replay of the playoffs and noticed it and just became curious to what kind of cage a pro would use when they had to. A very random question i know haha!

If they played NCAA hockey I'll bet it's the same model now as then. If they didn't, well, NHL teams seem to have a knack for being able to get anything they want for trial. I don't think a player would have to try very hard to get a 480 or a Concept II.

whatever they wanted. most seem to wear either a ghostwire or chrome cage or a fishbowl.

They use either CCM/Jofa (same thing) or a bubble (Bauer Concept II)

Kelly wore an Itech cage in the playoffs this year.

Stamkos wore a CCM in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Championship.

Manny Malhotra wore an Itech "fishbowl" during the Stanley Cup Finals.

A "bubble" is the old Jofa cage.

The term you're searching for is "fishbowl."

I don't think so! "Bubble," is synonymous with "fishbowl," I believe :P I forgot to mention the Itech cage, that is also a common cage used by NHLers. @everyone else, just look at Stephane Robidas if you ever find yourself curious of this question. He seems to have a cage on more often than his visy! :)

Um...no its not. How are they synonymous? The words themselves don't even mean the same thing.

In my opinion, a bubble and the stereotypical fishbowl are oddly similar. Maybe it's just a west coast thing...? In my experiences (which include Jr. A and in a couple weeks NCAA), the fishbowl is the same thing as the bubble. But what Manny Malhotra was wearing in the earlier post, that is considered both a fishbowl or a bubble in lingo.

Sorry for going off topic >.<

You guys are arguing over slang. Everyone is right.

Man that thing is ugly...i could never wear one of those..

hmmph..im not sure why but i always thought the pros would be using a bauer cage but im sure itech works just as well!:) all personal preference i imagine

If you look at robidas' nose, you would see why. Looks like a mma fighter.

Bubble

Fishbowl

Glad JR pointed that out, I've noticed my younger cousin referring to ConceptII's and the like as bubbles and its really started to annoy me

If you say so.

I'm pretty positive my experiences outweigh yours. :)

[goaliemanshark 6]

Wow, that does look like a bubble. Never seen one of those before!

This one

<-----

I read that the trainer was swamped so John Madden helped him out and went to the LHS to get it. The Itec titanium.

Jovanovski wore an Easton cage in the playoffs last season. So that makes Easton, Bauer, CCM/RBK all in the NHL recently, and from those come the itech or Jofa products that now exist under a new brand so...all of them?

Check out Tommy Soderstrom on Google Images for the most epic bubble cage of all time...

Hmm it really seems like about all different types of cages/"bubbles'? are used which honestly is really surprisong to me!

Bubble equals jofa 51-270. wish i still had mine...you were the sh@t if you had one of these back in the late 90s early 2000..atleast in the new england prep leagues and ejhl when i played.
