Show It Off

[badger_14 601]

Naturally, the week I get my shiny new jersey (which does not smell like it needs an exorcism, unlike the other two, no matter how many times I wash them) is the week when a) I hurt my hamstring at work and b) everyone is away for the holiday weekend, meaning none of the usual hockey.

The picture in no way does it justice. The colors are rich and vibrant (it's sublimated), not much give in the fabric but it fits perfectly over my pads. I had requested a goalie cut, and I think they goofed on that (or my arms are stumpy?), but the sleeves still aren't as long as my other jerseys so I'm okay with that. Hoping to glean some old-fashioned goalie mojo (logo osmosis).

4 years after getting a stunning deal on some Vapor XXXs when they were two models behind, I picked up some pristine X 7.0s when they were two model years behind. Thank God for late model markdowns, keeping me in high end skates on the cheap.

Just some goofy swag I picked up, and they all showed up awesome

I have nothing too special to show off, but I picked up another 4500, because the one I use had a huge crack in it. I have wanted to get more protective shoulder pads so I picked up these U+12 shoulders from eBay. I also wanted to try out some longer shins I grabbed these U+CS shins also from eBay. Love the longer shins and new shoulder pads, and could not be happier with them.

Sent these, and some other simple repairs, over to Pat at Custom Pro Repair and he worked his magic on them.

They started off as these:

And came back as these:

Specs:

• New Pearl Mustang palms, tightened 1/2" at the wrist
• -1/4" white Mesh gussets
• AX1 style binding
• Shortened fingers from 14" to 13"
• Baby blue carbon pinky stripe and Hossa cuff
• Yakupov split on top of cuff
• Anisimov split on bottom cuff

How much for the customization on these mitts? Super sick.

Mind sharing how he added the pinky/ under cuff? Super intrigued

The price depends on what else you want done to the gloves. For example, if you need new palms, it's easier for Pat so it's cheaper. I remember they gave me three prices for stuff depending on what I wanted done. You can email Pat and he can go over the options for you or you can PM and I can try to find the price rundown in my email.

He took apart the gloves, replaced the tufftek with the carbon then re-assembled the gloves as far as I know. His work is great. It's like having a whole new set of custom gloves with exceptional quality.

Thanks for the information. I'll consider contacting Pat in the future.

Got these a while ago, love them but they are a little big. Wish they fit :(

If they don't fit why did you buy them? Favorite team's equipment sale?

By fit I mean more that they don't feel great on my hands. It's a lot tighter glove than I'm used to.

Those are gorgeous! Where'd you get them?

Pretty sick mitts. Look just like Wiz mitts with the Kangaroo leather palms. Such a nice palm.

So sick! I definitely love them.

[Speedz98 15]

Actually, literally, breathtaking.

Oh, what the heck? Might as well essentially copy/paste this from Sports2K.

I scored a pair of CCM Ribcors off eBay recently and decided to convert them into roller hockey skates. Took them all the way to Monkey Sports in New Jersey, though it looks like it was worth the trip. Apparently, they do conversions all the time. Going to be taking them out for their first spin tonight and I'm really excited about it.

Took apart a 2XL jersey stitch by stitch, seam by seam, and tailored it to a medium:

Wow impressive work!
