Helmet – Bauer 7500: Fits great and easy adjustment. EPP foam w/poron inserts excellent protection
Shoulder – CCM U+Pro: Low shoulder caps, excellent mobility, not bulky but offers top protection
Elbows – Reebok 10k: Uses JDP technology which moves the force of the impact to the surrounding muscles to prevent injury.
Gloves – Bauer Pro 4-roll: Traditional fit (looser), simple very mobile, nylon
Pants – Tackla Air 9000: Slim fit durable (used for a lot of years) comfortable
Jock – Bauer core compression: Tight fit, secure good Velcro
Shin – Graf G700: Great fit and protection, but not so great straps
Shin Socks – Reebok Edge: Lighter weight (then traditional socks) extremely breathable
Skate Socks – Drymax: Excellent moisture management
Skates – Bauer Supreme ONE100: Very stiff boot, thick felt tongue, clarion liner w/hydrophobic fit, TUUK light speed 2 holders, LS2.1 power steel, very light, tremendous tendon protection, full upper thermo formable , anatomical fit (wider up front, narrow heel), BEAUTIES!
Sticks – Bauer Vapor x:60: PSS pattern, mid curve, not too big, rounded corners, double concave walls for great stick control, extremely light, dual flex points, great for slappers, excellent for wrister’s and throwing sauce. Pure shot blade increases the connection point between shaft and blade for reduced blade deflection/twisting.

Skates – For inline I wear mission T9’s. I liked the fit of the boot so much that I bought another pair to use for the ice. My ice skates are now a Tommy Montes special custom pair of mission T9 boots with black TUUKS.
Helmet – CCM Vector V10 w/Bauer DX100 half shield. I was looking for a helmet to replace my old Jofa 690 and the V10 was simply the best fit for my head. The Bauer visor I like because it has quick release tabs that make changing out the visor fast and easy.
Gloves – Mission M1, I’ve been wearing the M1’s for years and love the overall fit, especially the wrist mobility. Unfortunately they are no longer made so I pick up any pair I can find on ebay.
Elbows – I have an old model (circa 1996) of Bauer elbow pads that I have had since high school. They are solid plastic making them super protective and have a hinge at the elbow joint for mobility. I’ve had them repaired numerous times and will probably never get rid of them.
Shins – I’m not particular when it comes to shin guards but currently I’m wearing Bauer pro series shins. I do like the strapping system on them though
Pants – I have a pair of mission M-1 pants. They are good protection but are too short. I’ll be picking up a pair of Tackla 9000’s or Bauer Total One’s because they come in tall sizes.
Stick – I like Easton sticks just because I have always had good luck with them being pretty durable for me. It must be the Sakie (now Hall) curve though.

Helmet – Bauer 7500 with Oakley ½ shield: Never compromise the protection on your head. This is comfortable and super protective
Elbows – Bauer Supreme EP3000: Comfortable soft pad with a lot of protection. I don’t believe in hard cap elbows, they lead to potential injures.
Shins – Hespelver Classic Lites: Big protection in a light weight shin, good fit
Gloves – Sherwood 5030: All leather (Old School). Enough said!
Pants – Easton Air 4000 – A lot of protection in a feel good fit, no suspenders
Shoulders – Douglas Forward: small shoulder caps, mobile, lightweight, these came after the Douglas “football pads”
Skates – CCM Pro Tacks with E-Pro holders’ lightweight, supportive, responsive and a great fit
