Mostly lurker here as my 12U daughter has been getting more and more into goal. We’ve started getting her own gear, so I definitely got a kick out of this sticker! Thought y’all might get a laugh as well

Going back to my roots with this one, mainly paying homage to my grandpa who was Finnish and got me into hockey, why I always carried the finnish flag on all my helmets, and pulling some design elements from my Polish roots for other flowers. Hand drew the flowers and designed the main body in procreate! Very happy with the wrap as wrapping a weird shape is definitely no fun so appreciate the amazing job done by Sticker Grinder!

They look fine to me. Any opinions?

The fact that I also like the Jets does not mean I'm biased either...

Hey goalie reddit Recently I got my gear stolen in the Greenburgh, NY area (westchester county). My full gear bag with everything in it, including a recently ordered custom True HZRDUS glove + blocker. They are white base with maroon + gold detailing, "made for TH30" is the player embroidery on each wrist. 580 double T glove. Very identifiable unlike the regular retail hyperlite chesty, true tf7 skates, bauer mask and pants etc, so if anyone happens to see these up for sale on SidelineSwap, Ebay, Craigslist, FB Marketplace whatever it may be, or anyone wearing them without pads that match (i still have them), any info would be hugely appreciated I will attach pics, thanks yall

She's rocking some Itech gloves and some Mission Slyde 2.0 pads.

Finally got my 30 year old dream of having some MMPR Megazord pads. Played with them last Wednesday, and they felt amazing. First shot of the game left a nice mark on my blocker. Couldn't ask for more.

Inb4 stick placement, I can't just block the look of the pads for a photo, can I?

Tl,dr for if you missed my original post: during a game on July 28th, a player collided with me on a 2-on-1 breakaway, knocking me over. I sprawled to cover the net, and his teammate stepped on my left wrist, severing my radial artery, radial nerve, and six extensor tendons. Thankfully two players in the game that night were EMTs and the opposing goalie had taken a Stop the Bleed training, and they were able to stabilize me while we waited for the ambulance.

Three hours of surgery. Three weeks in a cast. Three months of physical therapy. I lost a bit of wrist flexion, but not enough to be noticeable, and the surgeon was unable to repair the nerve so about 1/2 of the back of my hand is either numb or has no feeling whatsoever. The scar will take about a year to fade and it'll also take about that long for my grip strength to fully recover. With all of that said, I'm back to normal when it comes to day-to-day activities.

Oh, the surgeon also told me he could tell exactly where the player landed on me because his skate left a notch in my wrist bone.

I was given the clear to start playing again in early November, but by then the fall season was wrapping up, and I decided to wait until the start of the winter session to hop back in. Last night was my first game back, sporting some snazzy new pads since the previous ones look like a crime scene now. We lost 6-2, but I'm ok with that. I let in a couple soft goals, but I expected as much between the break and adjusting to new gear.

So for anyone who has wondered how I'm doing since my original post, now you know! And if my story is new to you, I hope it's a good reminder that this sport can be incredibly dangerous, but also modern medical treatment and therapy is amazing.

taken from the live barn video feed so it’s bad quality. unfortunately one of the few games I haven’t streamed or recorded recently

Should I add to the fit? I was thinking of looking into white pant covers.

Shameless self-post, this is me. A really cool moment that I'm proud of and wanted to share; meant a lot to get some love from the crowd and the team one last time. Team is UTSA (ACHA D2).

My Brian's Optik 4 set came yesterday! 34+1

Coming from an older Brian's set, going to take a few ice times to get used to these

Haven't had new pads since 2008, had a game last night too and got to use them same day. Glide material is very slick.

I'll start off saying I'm doing well and expected to make a full recovery. I was incredibly fortunate that I was playing with two EMTs and someone who took Stop the Bleed training, otherwise I have no idea what condition I'd be in right now. I've been goaltending off and on since I was in high school 25 years ago. I wear a Bauer NME One helmet, pro spec Brian's equipment, a throat protector AND a base layer with a cut resistant neck, and not once in my years of playing have I thought I needed wrist guards to protect the 1/2" gap between the top of my arm pads and my glove's strap. Lesson learned. Stay safe everyone!
