Finally, SixthMan.org will stand up to it's name.
After two years and a lot of drooling, I finally bought my hockey goalie equipment tonight - all Canadian made, baby! I'm keeping with the original theme of my past IM hockey teams from Michigan - Black and Gray. I also signed up for an instructional league at a local ice rink where goalies are free and the instruction is priceless. Gotta start somewhere, and there's a definite chance of being asked to sub for goalies in the leisure leagues, or even being placed there myself!
Imagine, if you will, me wearing all of the following:
And, of course, the most vital piece of protection any goalie can wear!
It should ship tomorrow and possibly arrive on Friday. Expect a picture as soon as I find the UPS man withering in pain on our doorstep.

At least you're not going right to the big leagues, and will pick up some life-saving tips in your class. But think about it... there's a reason why there's giveaways for goalies.
Good Luck,cutie.Remember what Jim says..."You've got to be careful when you make your living from your good looks!
That's why I bought the Kevlar-lined goal mask. If that thing's even remotely bullet-proof, I think my teeth and face will come out just fine.
Who ever said I make my living from my good looks? That's just a perk! ;-P
