Probably just wrong, but if you need it and can afford it then go for it.

If you're parents are paying then you definitley need to get the new set! Living on my own and buying all my own gear, paying my own fees etc makes me miss the days when my parents would buy me new gear.
If you don't need them why bother getting them? I'd rather get a new mask or a new paint job on the existing mask.
really, i was never a big helmet fan, always liked the pads better.
if they dont fit or are having a negative affect on your play(you not just house league?) I would say it isnt a problem. Be prepared to sell the old set...
There is no reason to have two different sets of pads unless they are IDENTICAL. It wouldnt help your game to be switching between different sets of gear. you would get rid if the older set.
If you feel you should be rewarded go for it. But why not wait to see if you make the team and then reward yourself if you do? I'm sure you'll appreciate it much more by then, and you can get yourself something else nice for now as kind of motivation to keep going. (maybe not even hockey related, or as expensive haha). Don't get yourself distracted though! Keep practicing, the real reward will be making the team. (and seeing this years starter become the backup )
Well confidence is the most important thing for a goaltender. If you're unhappy with your current set of pads I'd say go for it.Well basically i guess im loseing some conifdence in my pad, maybe because of the allure of getting new pads. So basically I can buy them now work with then in the summer then tryout with them or order them after making the team then wait 2 months to get them in which the season would already almost be done.

I would love to see the goalies that made it backing up me because I know im a lot better then them.

No offense, but maybe spend the money on goalie camp.

In that situation, I would say Sooner is better than later. Try-outs for next season arent at your current season end? Ours(USA) are always the week after nationals end, First or second week of April.
