Some of my more recent additions:

The Tacks I snagged off of eBay brand new. The stick came courtesy of Total Hockey, and it was hard to pass up while they were offering to toss in a $50 gift card to sweeten the deal (for a +$200 purchase, not necessarily for the stick itself).

I have little doubt that I'll regret either of those purchases - being a former Tacks and Supreme user - but I have mixed emotions over the Vapor XXXX Pros. Sadly, what everyone has said about them is true. They don't take impacts too well. Gorgeous gloves, very light and flexible, but in the last 2 months, I've taken slashes in the fingers and thumb and felt them for the first time in my life. The joint in my thumb still smarts from a pass attempt that went a little too high and caught me in the thumb silo from a game on New Year's Eve.

Broke my loyalty to CCM and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

Bauer Total NXG skates, picked them up from Total Hockey.

First skate I've ever worn skates that didn't hurt my feet, just unreal, feel like a whole new player. I always religiously wore CCM everything since I started playing in 2004.

What size are those pro tacks??

9D. There was also a 6D and a 8D available as well, I believe. Strangely, those got picked off before the 9s which I thought would be the first to go.

And Louie... sweet Christmas, dude. Very impressive, though your lack of a Flames retro third shell makes me sad.

Louie wins. End of thread.

I like Louie but there are people out there with much, much more.

I personally don't understand it. My skates were piling up but I've given away 3 pair in the last few months so I'm down to 3.

Thanks JR and everyone else... It just turned into a collection one day, thrill of the chase and such. JR is also right, my collection does pail in comparison to some.

Warrior Covert DT2 X Bone Gloves (BC Colorway); Warrior Remix LE Gloves (Quebec 1972) (thought I would give the 4 rolls a try, seeing as how I hear how so many people love and swear by them- got these for $50 via clearance +25% off for holiday); Easton Mako II Pro Stock shaft with Warrior Kovalchuk paddle; Mission Inhaler helmet with Re Akt cage, and of course, Mako skates. The monkey made his way into the picture because I just wanted the gloves in a row. And yes, I sleep on a pink bed. As long as my wife refrains from commenting on my equipment purchasing habits, I let her choose the sheets lol. Only got to use the gear once (except the 4 rolls) as I got a bad case of Mako bumps that I am recovering from; but love all of the stuff, even the skates- just need to cover up the area that got shredded (when it fully heals) with some mole skin and I ought to be good.

custom skateguards made for me by Junkyard Athletic:

6D76B446-C3D1-473F-98C9-2ECD07217C0D_zps

a small piece of custom gear that makes me feel like a rockstar!

here's their webpage for you newbies: http://www.junkyardathletic.com

I'm beginning to think there's nothing they can't do.

They did a single piece? May I ask how much?

I forget the total but the soakers themselves were something like $30 and then I added names and numbers for a few dollars extra.

I like bright soakers so I don't forget to take them off before stepping on the ice. I used to get tiger striped ones made by A&R but you can't find those anymore except for the puffy ones made for figure skaters. :(

Custom Easton V9E sticks.

Left hand, grip surface, 80flex and my own blade pattern.

The pattern is based on Roenick.

I cut its toe off 1cm shorter.

My shooting skill uses much stick's tortion so I love this oval neck stick!
