I'm just wondering on how much goalie equipment will cost me! For a fact as a goaltender it's the most expensive positioin if you have the $$$. Well I'm 16 years old will have a job in the summer time and am asking you guys on how much equipment will cost me. Can you give me a around/exact comparison? I'm 6''0/6''1, 150lbs and so far have $45 The reason I'm asking is because in the summer time my grand-father (ex-soccer player, one of the best in his division) is going to train me on the ice and on the road. So far I calculated that I may need around $700 or $1,000 dollars that I may not afford by or after summer time Do you think there are cheaper stuff that I could handle with all my size and stuff etc? Like I don't need all the "new" stuff that came out last year I may want soe of the older stuff. Eg: CCM, Itech, JOFO, Nike if you get the hint!

Opinions would be helpful lol!

Thanks!

well I'd say that $1000 should get you some 'good' second hand kit ether form a shop or off ebay, BUT I would strongly recomend that you try kit on before buying it.

As for kit, I'd say stay away from Bauer/nike mainly cause it's so expensive when you firsts set out, I have a set of vapors and their amazing just expensive! I have to say that I do like CCM as they seem to be good lasting. If I were you I would go for CCM or Vaughn.

If you need anymore help just PM

I get all my stuff from Play It Again Sports. They have them in alot of places, and I got goalie leg pads for $100, blocker for $65, Glove for $70, chest pad for $40 (it will probably be more for ice) and the pants are about $160. The cheapest skates are $150 And yes, you have to have goalie skates. I would get CCM. They run lower in price if you get some used ones. Reebok/Bauer/Jossa are REALLY expensive. CCM is very reliable. OH! And for a helmet, you need to make sure it is HECA approved. They should know what that means Mine cost me $130, new

Any cool design like Wild Wing putting out a fire or something?

Naw, just plain white, but I might get it painted like Jiggy's '03 one

I was wondering what "unusual objects of art or pieces of bric-a-brac" PB was posting about in this Forum. I suppose goalie equipment could qualify as curios.

Duckette right about the skates, go for CCM's you can pick them up cheap and they last ages. I'm still squeezing my foot into a pair I got 6 years ago!!!!

It would be a nice keepsake though.

Have you tried this or related odor removers? Baking soda is also supposed to help ...

It doesn't smell, and I have odor eating spray, it just gets really hot, and the sweat stains it. And we all know Jiggy sweats alot
