Franklin Hockey

Hello, I know there are a lot of questions on here about what pads to buy/wear, but my question is different.

I got a really good deal on a pair of Franklin SX Pro 1200 30" Goalie pads. I want to use these for street hockey right now (shoes not inline). The problem with that is I can not figure out how to attach them so they don't ride up.

I'm sure they should be tied around/to the shoes somehow. The pads only have 4 straps (not 7 like full ice hockey pads) and so none of them are low enough to go to/under/through the shoes.

The packaging did come with 2 long "shoelaces" but I have no idea what to do with them and there were no instructions, Franklin's website offers no help, and the store I bought them from doesn't know.

Google hasn't helped me. I hope one of you can. Thank you.

If you're wearing shoes, the best / easiest way you can do this is take a pair of sneakers and dedicate them to hockey. They are going to get really scraped up anyway, so it's not like you'll want to wear them for any other times. There should be 2 holes near the toe of each pad. That's where the laces go through on the pads.

Option 1: Unlace the shoes, taking the laces completely out. Lace them back up, but skip the first holes near the toes. Use those holes to run the laces from the pads through, then leave them attached to the pads. Once they are attached you won't have to untie them, so cut off the excess lace from the pads.

Option 2: tie the laces around the back of your ankle, then wrap the remaining lace around your ankle and tie on the top of your foot. You can use duct tape during games to keep the laces in place. (The duct tape will come in handy too if you're playing outside - wrap the toes of your sneakers to help them last longer.)

Let me better explain the 2nd option for you. Sit down, lay the right pad face down in front of your right foot. grab each lace, bring them around the side of your foot, criss-cross them behind the heel, bring the laces up to the top of your foot and tie. Take a piece of duct tape, put it over the criss-cross to hold that in place. Take another piece and wrap it over the top of your foot and down the sides to keep the laces tied and to hold the laces in place on the side. Repeat for the left leg.

street yes, ice hockey not at all...id recommend for ice hockey tps..best sticks ever made, most others will break before they have proved their worth, and at 200 dollars a pop breaking 2 a month can really break the bank, but tps is going out of business therefor everything is cheaper so go tps

I have a hockey puck from a Rochester Americans game and its signed by Jason Garrison, Keaton Ellerby, and Franklin MacDonald. How much is it worth on a site like Ebay.com?

I ordered a set of hockey elbow pads. They are on backorder, and won't be here for 3 to 4 weeks. In a store up the street, they have Franklin Street Hockey Elbow pads for $15 dollars. I know they aren't the best, but can I use them for ice hockey for the time being. If I fall on the ice, they should help, right?

Thanks

Elbow pads are the 2nd most important piece of equipment after your cup. You're much more likely to take it on the elbow than the head in an average game. The street ones are better than nothing, but depending on the level of your game, try get something better soon.
