the franken shoulder pads...just highlight how much the pros don't care or believe about the latest tech the companies push.  A few years back (maybe 2013) aft the blackhawks won the cup...Patrik Kane is in the locker room and takes off his jersey...he's not wearing bauer shoulder pads and neither is Toews....They are both wearing CCM RBZ shoulders and elbows.

A lot of players loved their shoulder pads, but had to change out the shoulder caps a couple years back when the NHL introduced new equipment rules mandating soft caps.

What type of material are those shot blockers?  They look super thin.

Actually looks like steel or possibly titanium. You can see the laser burn marks where they cut the pattern through.

Probaly just kydex pre printed with that design. The light color makes the laser marks more noticable than on the black ones.

Ovi wearing the new Vapor skates

Great photo.  Good to see that the pros flinch when in the line of fire too.  With regard to Ovi, I was  watching the Canadian broadcast (shown on USA network) and they commented on how poorly Ovi was skating!

NEW Sher-Wood 5030 HOF Vintage shoulder pads.

 

Great. That fixes my one beef with old/current ones, the shoulder caps had to little to no taper and didn't curve around your shoulder much.

I have the same beef. Kind of torn though because I am a huge fan of the bicep and shoulder being attached on the originals (and on others like the old CCM's). Will give these a try though.

They have a laser cutter they use for polycarbonate blockers. That just has a graphic over it.  All the ones he makes has the players number and perforations, you just can't tell because most are clear.
