Long pants have to be up there.


Ahhh, the Copperall and Propac period {shudder}.

Roller hockey has been the breeding ground for some horrendous gimmicks that have trickled over into ice hockey, but thankfully they've largely been later beaten to death by practicality.

Is she a goalie...or a wee bit safety conscious?

By the way, it was by wearing those darn cooperalls that I ended falling in love with the hockey girdle and have never changed back to breezers.

JOFA got it right with the 690 helmet IMO. But everything before that was ugly, and I wore a 390 as a kid.

not really sure how anyone could say that the classic CCM HT2 helmet is "junk"

that is the classic North American players helmet and has been a staple in hockey for 40 years now. besides all that, the helmet itself is not even close to being ugly like those old jofa buckets. handzus and s. thornton are the only players wearing that classic CCM now that smyth retired

Bauer 4500 is THE classic and still the best looking helmet.

That helmet is just a knock off of the CCM helmet. How can a "classic" be the one that knocks off the helmet that came before it?
Lol they aren’t close. Is anyone even still wearing the ht2 in the show?

Sorry, but if you don't think those helmets are similar, you don't have much credibility on the topic.
They are shaped differently and don't look anything alike. Sorry, but they aren't similar other than the type of padding and the general two-piece construction.
