Anyone play/watch/follow hockey?

Just got some new equipment today, figured I'd share for anyone that's into hockey...

Pads are Louisville TPS Xhales 34" (I've had these for ~5 yrs)

Glove/blocker is Itech Vamp 7.8 just bought these today (impulse buy :))

Helmet is a custom painted Simmons mask (Had this for about 4 years)









Old glove/blocker is a TPS Cujo catcher and TPS 900 blocker

I love hockey but unfortunatly my wife hates it. I still watch the occasional game but I can't follow it like I used to when I was single. Nice helmet.

I LOVE hockey!!! My son used to play goalie. He has TPS pads custom made 36's. He has a Battram glove and blocker. He has 3 custom helmets painted by my husband. BTW, I worked at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake and got free tickets to several hockey games. We sat 2 rows from the glass right near center ice every time.....Good times! Thanks for sharing.

I've never played hockey, but I do watch the Dallas Stars play when I can catch a game on TV. I've been to a few minor league hockey games too.

I am a huge Hokey fan (I'm Canaian eh), I bleed blue and white ..... sadly my Leafs did not make the play-offs.

I do play as well. Twice a week in the winter, and a buddy of mine is trying to convince me to play this summer on Wednesdays as well ..... but damn, when the weather is warm, I wanna play golf not hockey ...LOL + its car season, the Mustangs coming out next week, and I've got a car show May 6th to get ready for.

Bring on da sun !!!

Heck yeah for hockey! I haven't got to play in awhile because of school, but hopefully this coming fall. Living in Hockeytown is great, except I am a diehard Devils fan since 1983 and Lady Fenrir is from the Detroit area so we have fun during the playoffs. The Devils/Rangers series should be a fun one, and the Devils are probably the hottest team in the league. When you have Marty in goal, you are always a threat to hoist the Cup! And all you Stars fans, Hull was in the crease when he scored that goal against the Sabres! J/K! Great pics of your gear and thanks for sharing snova!
