Is Dave Art the only approved or used mask painter in the league? You rarely see or hear of any other.

I dropped 120$ in there, spread over 5 different ones and it's been up and down a couple bucks for 2 weeks now. I'm trying to grasp how it all works, when to buy, when to sell, what to buy. I'm aware that Bitcoin/Ether/Dodgecoin are the major ones but to even dip into the real action, you'd have to drop at least a grand in each and I'm not ready to go there yet.

I'll be happy if I can double or tripple my money in 3-6 months. Then we'll see what I can do better.  

I thought the AB Pro was a next generation of the P1. My Reebok TGC P1 looks pretty much the same.

Actually I'm a Leafs fan but the jersey is a TB one. Matched the colors best I think for my other company. I buy companies now based on what replica jersey would look best

Wow, I actually didn't know there was plant-based calcium until right now. When I was in school, I was always taught the food pyramid. And they always said milk stuff was for calcium to keep bones+teeth strong. I think the 11 servings of bread+pasta daily might be a little too much carbs, but this is FDA approved, so obey and "follow the science". The government would never lie to you

Well I guess I didn't check it well enough I figured since I asked him twice on the spot I'd find SOME proof thereafter 0f it being a 960.. was such a good deal that I that I had the mentality of take it and run lol.. having a touch of buyers remorse that's all

Don't stress about it. I still hope the mask is in great condition for you. In retrospect, I've yet to see a used 961 sold for less than 400$ US and that was with chin or sidewall chips.

Like @SaveByRichter35 said, you gotta drill the seller. It's good to do the homework before you engage in the transaction. Masks are a really touchy market with lots of misleading info and many outside company reproductions.

So you didn't exactly get a 960. For the price you paid, either model, if no cracks or such, you got a great deal. I'm guessing a 950 is good enough, unless you're going for EBUG in the NHL/AHL/ECHL

I'm in Switzerland, milk products are kind of a big thing here  But actually, I don't really like milk products, which I guess is why I had a calcium deficiency. Now I drink 1 glass of milk a day, and also some mineral water with calcium in it. 

...people have been drinking milk for thousands of years, what's the new "science"  coming out? 

 

Milk creates phlegm and inflammation in the gut. Parsley and sesame seeds have more calcium than milk and won't create calcium deposits between the joints that can feel like crystals creating painful friction and eventually damage. The plant based calcium is better assimilated by the body.

I'm left to right on all the gear. Always been. Found out a while back that Huet had the same habit

Looking at ordering these V9s. I hate Boston but their colors matched my companies colors the best so here's the jerseys we made. Going to get them to match the yellow better 

Wrong thread but no biggie. Enjoy your new gear.

I hope you're a HABS fan and that jersey you're standing on is a Leafs one

Yea, best equivalent of Div.4 would be: "glorified beer league"  (a 2017 and  2018 game I played) I'm sure alot of you guys play better, but it's decent and competitive. Swiss Ice Hockey runs the league, it's structured well, and teams and players can move up/down (better Div.1 players go up to pro), there's a feeling like you're a part of something and have something to work towards. The Div.4 team I played with from 2002-2010 was good and moved up to the Div.3. The team I played with (on/off) from 2011-2021 was a Div.4 bottom-dweller. Actually, they were so bad, Swiss national TV made a documentary about them LOL  (I'm not in it, joined the year after) But cool guys, and plenty of work for a goalie, so I was fine there  

Anyway, we play only about 20 games per year (including pre-season), and teams want to move up, so each game is taken seriously. I'd work hard in training, and prepare myself mentally on game-day, get into "warrior mode" and give 110% on each shot. But now just playing in "fun" games, it's nothing like that. Actually I have a fun-game today, and I almost forget about it, LOL. Not that I don't try, it just kind of like it's not a big deal. People are smiling in the locker-room after the game win or lose. Which is cool in a way, but at the same time it's strange that the competitive nature is missing. I need to adjust.

I hear you on that. My pro aspirations have long been diluted, my EBUG aspirations are dwindling as well. Right now I'm just happy to still play at my age. My number is 60, then I'm moving on to trail running full time.

I haven’t gotten the memo to slow down. Yes, there is some limitations placed upon me by both age and medical condition. Not much I can do about that. I am the big 5-0 next year and as my “bunnyman challenge” is to illuminate, I plan on getting my fitness back. Will it be the fitness I had as a USCF Cat 3/2 racer? No. Will I be in the fitness category that I was as a high-level amateur duathlete? No. I didn’t return to hockey until I was 39 years old and started playing goal at 42. I am not Herschel Walker (he is a STUD), nor am I Jaromir Jagr (same age and hair cut, however). But I plan on being the best bunny ever.

I retired from duathlon at age 32, and have ZERO plans to return at any time; however, I could end up returning at 59 LOL Sometimes at high levels, you have nothing left to prove, even if you hadn’t won the ultimate prize. When I realised that I would never place in a single-digit overall placing and the training was starting to really burn me out, that was when I knew that it was no longer fun. It took me 25 years away from hockey to get me back playing. It is hard to deprogram that uber competitive fire. Once that I finally got that out of my system, sport became fun again. 
 
Enjoy your levelling down.
 
 

At one point I actually thought of getting back into road racing with the masters, but then I thought differently and that's now on pause. I might eventually do a Grand Fundo for fun one day and test my limits.

I'd suggest looking at diet again. Upping milk products might actually be a bad thing and is trending that way with more and more science coming out 

I agree, an over-abundance of calcium can have the opposite effect and create more damage.

So much this, I have had a few games that just snowballed this summer from being in my own head and not fully resetting from a previous goal.

That word. That one goal that starts the uh oh crap and no matter how much shit or pep talk you give yourself, you're shook. It's hard to reset sometimes.

@estogoalie Erik, want a reality check? I'm 52 and still pushing hard but realise that I'm not what I was before this damn covid shit.

Played this summer in a league with mediocre hot headed, egocentric, hot dogging players and my game was crap because of it. I played an hour and a half Friday night with a bunch of ex juniors and seniors and held my own fairly well. Saturday night, played an hour with a bunch of mid level guys and my game was off. But then, a young guy asks me to join his group that followed after for a cancelled goalie. I accepted despite having no juice left. Might as well take advantage of free ice time I told myself. These guys were all some junior A/B kids, and it was some 3 on 3 full ice shit.

Suffice to say I got my ass handed to me on several occasions. That sent a hard message to me. I'm not young anymore. My reflexes are not what they were. My recuperation time is less than adequate for 3 games in 2 nights.

You had the great opportunity of playing at a high level for a long time and I commend you for it. I wish I could of had such an opportunity. If you do step down from competition, just focus on the fun of playing with no expectations from anyone...except your own. We will always be wanting more from ourselves when we know what we once were capable of doing in a game, once upon a time

I don't know about the logos but Finnish U20 WJC starting goalie and Women's 2nd goelies wore Warrior gear. 

 

But it is kind of sad if they only have one line and next big release after one year and Euro goelies are already using those gear. You can Google Jeremy Smith in Kunlun Red Star KHL and see that G6 gear are very similar, maybe knee landing is flat and vertical rolls are even thinner, but there were times when Warrior was unique. 

Maybe they hit a wall, or maybe they listened to the users and applied the changes, or maybe they are of the mentality now of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I find that for myself, as a competitive minded ageing beer leaguer, you self-analyse a lot "should of this or that", "why did I cheat instead of just staying with the puck carrier", "why didn't I hustle, battle for space or positioning or puck control", "why did I hesitate so much on playing the puck on the dump or missed pass".

It takes a lot to let go. Much easier during pick up than in a real game where numbers and goals count.

Even harder to accept when you are a coach as well. Reminds me of a quote from a coaching friend that you can use should one of your students catch a glimpse of your bad goal: "do as I say, not as I do"  

Aside from Matt Hills first impressions at Hockeyreviews, anyone here have game experience with this unit?

Looking at the CHL tournament in Europe on Youtube, there are a few Warrior goalies. The brand is a clear sponsor of many teams and the tournament itself.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any logo-less Warrior gear in the Worlds, be it Juniors, Men's or Women's. Bauer has always had a stronghold during those competitions.

I know some of you are exploring this venue or at least considering it. I started, be it very small, just a month ago. It's confusing as hell but I'm trying. No big bucks in the books yet but time will tell as I increase my knowledge and investments. My go to platform/app is crypto.com

Anyone else in the game? Care to share your experiences, downfall and success, lessons learned, tips and suggestions, etc?

Any form of income is good in these times...providing it's legal and no one gets hurt, right?
