Being a Hockey Parent

[Ahbroody]

The boy loves vapor gloves. Do you feel comfortable with him in the u+ as a D man blocking shots?
I was playing with those at giant the other day. While super light and comfortable the front panels around the center section seemed really thin. Hell I have the boy in S13 pads and those things are really protective in the chest and collar area and hes a forward.

Its funny how certain companys do a good with certain items. I know for the boy we like Bauer for Gloves. Bauer or Reebok for Shins and elbows. Shoulders I definitely prefer the way Easton does their chest and front panel. They also now tend to have a low profile and large cap option. Their new Mako line of shoulders is very cool and the boy said they felt great when he tried them on. Pants I still say most pants are garbage. Graf, Tackla Eagle make amazing pants extreme protection with great range of motion. Skates anf helmets are such an individual thing but seems bauer holds court. No idea why I just wrote all that. Clearly wasting time.
