Helmet: RBK 4. Was using ccm 1052 for a couple of years but found the EPP foam not so comfy. Tried the RBK 6 and 8 but the old style foam is much more comfortable i found.

Visor: Bauer FM1000. One of the cheaper ones at the hockey shop. Was using one of these from 1996-2004 and found cleaned up well using clear plastic polish. Went to a oakly visor, but after a couple of years and a few scratches later, the plastic polish made it worse. Picked up another new Bauer fm1000 visor last year.

Shoulder pads: Jofa 9800. Later known as RBK 8. Center Ice series is way over kill for the level i play at. But got them off ebay for $50 in almost brand new condition years ago. Handy, cuz i tend to crash into the boards a lot.

Elbows: Jofa 8044. More of this center ice series stuff. $25 online, brand new. Nice pointy cap = protection for me = concussion for hard charging goons

Pants: CCM Supra 520. Again bought new online. From a seller had bunch of new and used pro equip. From the now defunked Greensboro Generals ECHL

Gloves: TPS r2. Comfy, Does the job

Shins: Bauer Vapor 10. Light and comfortable. Only $35 new. Take a guess how i bought these. 17 inch. Leaves no leg uncovered. (i'm only 5'10) Had to heat them up and make the shell a bit narrower. My legs are on the skinnier side.

Skates: CCM 1152. Sport Check was blowing them out about 5 years ago for $199. So cheap, i had to buy them, even though i didnt need them yet. Had them sitting in my closet for the last 4 years and finally started using them last spring. Took off the Prolite 3's and got Tuuk litespeeds installed, with a slight heel lift. I do feel there is more rocker on the baldes now, but the way i skate, doubt its going to help my game. Just looks cool.

Sticks: Franklin THT 850 titanium and TPS redllight. Easton ST stubby blades for that "low kick" feelin. Have a couple of TPS response sticks in my closet wihp and reg, but cant get used to that tapered shaft feeling. I like the old school stuff.

I tried that "Willie Mitchell aproved" Bladetape, but felt weird. Good old fashion tape works best for me
