Ice Hockey Goalie Pads

What ice hockey goalie pads should i get?
i'm a butterfly goalie and my pads are too small so im always leaving my 5 hole open. i need new pads, i was thinking rbk premier 3's 9k, vaughns v3 (how much are those, v3's), or nike bauers one 75, the new x60's, or just anything u guys recommened. all help is appreciated thx

Actually, just depends what you prefer in a pad. Most goalies, like myself, are picky in choosing their gear. It all depends what you feel comfortable in... Don't let someone choose for you, as most goalies tell you its more of a comfort fit on what you like, not what others think is good....

1.) Some suggestions, is to try on(if possible) at the nearest hockey store.

2.) If no hockey store is around, always make sure when you buy something new online, make sure their return policy is at least 30 days & a customer friendly policy. Such as if you don't like the pads, there is a no hassle return policy. This way it gives you a chance to try on the pads, if you don't like it - then return it. But, remember you have to pay for return S&H charges, if the item is returned.

3.) Another suggestion is go to your local hockey rink. If you see a pair of pads on another goalie that you like, ask them if you can try them on as your thinking about buying a pair. Some goalies may say no, but most goalies realize that they were in the same situation on buying new gear.

4.) Finally, don't be afraid to ask the hockey stores or online if they 'PRICE MATCH'. So, many goalies miss out on great deals and deal savers..... Just imagine it as having more money to spent on more or better gear. Always check & compare prices and ask about price matching....

i am dedicated my self to being a goalie and i was wondering if i buy inline goalie pads are they the same pads that icehockey goalies use like are they as thick and puffy i know theres different brands for both ice and inline but is the thickness of the inline pad the same pad thickness as an ice hockey pad like could i take inlinepads and use them at and icehockey goalie game are they the same thickness

No they're not. The main reason being that inline hockey uses
a significantly lighter puck or ball as opposed to in ice hockey.

In theory, you could use your ice hockey goalie pads in roller,
but unless you're playing at the elite level I don't recommend it.
And obviously don't use them if playing on asphalt / concrete,
unless you're sponsored or super rich.

Price: $109.99 $79.19

Adjustable straps
Durable reinforced stitching
The Fireman golaie series from Tour is the perfect starter package for the future goalie in your family. This will give him the protection he needs to start out between the pipes.

I have rather old-ish Louisville's, and I was wondering if I would be wasting my time trying wear them while playing roller hockey on these new synthetic "ice" sheets. Do they slide at all? Wear down? Tear???

I'm mostly just worried about tearing them, they're old, like I said, and have some leather parts.

I would get a pair designed for roller, they're lighter and sometimes even have coolmax, unless playing in elite level tournaments you don't need that much protection since the puck /ball used office is considerably lighter than a ice one I have played on sportcourt using my ice goalie gear and was ok but outside it's useless to even consider doing so

Price: $70.09 $39.41

Mask Features a Welded Wire Cage with a SHOK-SORB Foam Liner
Includes a Plastic Goalie Mask, Knee/Leg Pads, a Catch Glove, and Blocker
Recommended Sizing for Ages 5 to 10

I'm thinking of selling my goalie pads and wondering how much they are worth...
They are Itech Prodigy 9.8s i have the leg pads and blocker but not the catch glove. They are used and marked up from getting hit from pucks but other than that there is no wear/rips/broken straps on them.
If someone could give me a price range that would be nice, thanks.

Well im not a big Itech fan besides their masks which are now bauer. i googled them cause i wasnt sure exactly which ones they were and two pads came up.

If they are the ones: http://www.choicehockey.com/goaliemonkey .com/index/index040506/itech-glgp98srd.g if

Then id say prolly no more than $300. Thats if they are like 32" up

and if they are these: http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I /bbhockey_2042_21560247

Then id say $100 at most.

The prodigy pads were def second best to the x-wing.

goodluck selling them

im a girl 5'9 ive been playing goalie for 3 years, and i was just wondering what the best goalie pads are.

I'm a female goalie too and I've never gone wrong with any equipment made by Reebok. The cut allows for easier mobility and I find they are lighter than CCMs and other brands but they still provide excellent protection. Good luck!
