Bro semi pro hockey player here, I got out just when True started making stuff. It's interesting to see they have skates and pads now, I think it's really cool. Back when I played, Warrior was the new thing, so yeah, been a while. Excellent video buddy.

I am in my 40s and played pretty high level Juniors getting back into it., and was blown away with just how stiff all these damn pads are now. I used to use the old Brian air pacs, and also the Koho Felix Potvin pads. I would deff be considered a hybrid goalie by todays standards/ do they make any pro level pads that are not solid blocks lol especially in the foot area

The big difference between pad boots now and back then is how you strap them. You no longer do tight toe ties (or buckles) and a tight boot strap keeping the boot connected to your skate. That generally takes away the need for a really soft and squishy boot that you are used to. There are some pads that still have pretty soft boots, Bauer Vapor 100deg boot is softer as well as CCM Eflex. Warrior has an option to do a boot that is basically on a hinge and moves completely with your skate, so that might be the best style of option. Kenesky & Brown both still makes more old school style of pads though if you want something that is more familiar to you.

Take a look at the Bauer X5 pros . There's softish with a solid knee block

Everything will feel VERY different than what you were used to. I had a similar transition from original 90s Vaughn Visions to 2008ish Reeboks with a soft double break to Bauer X5 pros. The boots are relatively soft so it’s more about getting used to how you strap them so they rotate and return. The thigh rises are so much bigger and even the soft ones will feel stiff. Knee pads are also a must now so that took some getting used to. That said, once you get used to it - it’s great for 5 hole seal as well as sliding that I wish I had back in 90s. I will also say the rebounds are a preference but I’ve loved the change from short tight rebounds to big rebounds that fly past the guys hanging around the crease for loose change.

hey man, I'm in my 40's too, and been doing it since the days of pillow style pads also. My recommendation to you is to ease into it with a set of used Vaughn V5 Velocities, and go from there. The V5 is kind of the closest thing in a modern style pad that still plays with the flexiness and a general resemblance to an old pad, but also affords you the features of a newer pad with the new school landing gear and toe securing systems. You can really get alot of utility out of them just by messing with strapping and adjustment (you can play them much, much looser), and they do a good job of bridging between old and new school style. From there, you're able to start figuring out what your tolerance is for what you want out of a more modern pad. For my part, I'll just say I wish we had pads like this when we were growing up, I loved my 580 Potvins too but holy hell can you just fly around in this stuff. The irony of them making it smaller, is they made it way easier to move in and almost self defeating. hope this helps!

Bro I KNOW. I'm a retired semi pro forward here so it's not apples to apples, but yeah, the pads I used were SO heavy compared to what I've seen these days. And damn if you aren't bulletproof in today's gear. I wore these old shoulderpads that looked like grandma made 'em, today they are almost like football pads, plastic shells and all! It's unreal how far things have come, safer yet lighter, it's just amazing. The biggest reason I'm replying is, MY goalie wore AIRpac pads, and from what I remember, at that time, they were sort the cool new thing. Kind of revolutionary for being lightweight and flexible. Back then, the goalie pads all had unique style, be it the leather rolls or the flat face (new, back then) pads. I'm shocked by how much things have changed in 20ish years. I'm almost 40 now, and I haven't skated in 15 years. Congrats for getting back into it brother! Be safe out there bud.

I used the toe clips for around 10 years and got sick of them falling off and they were extremely hard to fix in game especially with no real intermissions. One day around 6 years ago, I ripped them off cuz I was annoyed at them unclipping, I haven’t used toe ties since. Is there any reason I should go back to toe ties again? And what ones would you recommend that don’t come undone? Thank you!

If your system works for you, I don't see a reason to change anything?

What's that stick-on pad you have on the True skates? Is it to protect it from the post?

@HockeyReviews Ай бұрын

Exactly, they are from these people: instagram.com/theskateprotector/

Does the outside vs inside toe tie holes impact five hole closure kn the butterfly? Or is kt just overlap when standing?

@HockeyReviews Ай бұрын

It shouldn't, as long as there is enough slack where your toe isn't pulled up the toe tie position isn't causing pad torsional flex from being too tight, thigh rise seal should be fine.
