If so what gear do you use? how do u like it, and how long u been playing for?

[suprasian]

i play goalie on occassion. i play forward and goal so i alternate everytime. been playing for a while but never stuck with it as i like playing forward too
i have the reebok 4k set (pads glove and blocker) the pads are great but the glove and the blocker are starting to rip apart. i have a lowerend itech chest which i upgraded to a better eagle one but havent tried yet. in my experience, dont buy the lowerend stuff. you feel stingers from better shooters. i'd spend the extra money and buy mid level gear as it will give you more protection and should last longer. by all means im no expert just telling you from experience.

[JOHNNY_TRAN]

Yeah I got all RBK 6K Pads, Catcher, Blocker, Stick, with Itech Prodigy chest protector, and Itech pants with CCM vector skates. Trying to find a ITECH Envy 7 Mask

[RayBot]

just curious.....whats the retail value of all the gear, mid end....brand new??

I've always been curious....but i dunno if i will ever have the guts to play in net.

[suprasian]

you can get a pads set (glove and blocker too) for maybe 600
chest would be around 200-250
mask- 250-300
skates - 200
pants - 150
stick - 90
jock - 50

so you're looking at a pretty penny. i usually upgrade one thing at a time. that being said if you buy from goalie monkey you save alot of money. i got a high end eagle chest protector and the 6k pants for only 244 after taxes. the chest alone was 450 originally

[JOHNNY_TRAN]

someone find me a CHEAP ITECH ENVY 7 mask !!!!!

[Noir]

I'd love to be a goalie if I wasn't so near-sighted. :) They get all the free passes & ice time on pick ups

[RayBot]

Yeah,....i wouldn't mind being a goaltender as well....but some groups that i play with have players that have broken masks with wristshots.

Screw thinking about what slapshots will do.

itech 960 & 961 masks($600 on ebay each but hey...its your head you're talking about here), rbk premier chest, pads, blocker, glove. dont buy low end trapper/blockers cause those slap shots will sting your palm. unless you're playing with totally newbies. this stuff is gonna cost you a ton, but all the leagues and drop in, i play free so it's totally worth it.

ps, if you want some rbk 5k. i'm selling mine. used for two seasons in roller. always had pad covers on so not much wear. the trapper smells good....blocker wreaks!! ahahha

[Selanne_200]

[bui95]

cyclone taylors sells eagle ones. but they dont fit pads properly cause they're generic so you should bring your pad in and see how they fit.

I'm sadly selling my gear :(

[saiko]

Damn, that's a nice set of gear.

I recently purchased a used set off a really really friendly friend. Goalie is so interesting and challenging.. Still having a lot of trouble with angles, rebound, and staying in position.

Who's up for some stick and puck in richmond? Weekday morning/afternoons specifically..

I use yoga pants...it's super comfortable =)

[Chooman]

I personally wear thin sweat pants and hockey socks on top. I've seen people just use hockey socks and i would suggest wearing something longer than shorts since the straps are gonna be rubbing up against your leg if you don't. unless you're into that kinda thing...:D

[bui95]

yes.....every guy goalie should own a pair of nice tight lulu pants ....ahaha
