Now this is a phenomenal looking chest and arm combo from Reebok, the 11k Sr. PRO model! The protection here will be second to none, and we’re very impressed with the design and materials used. Nicely done, Reebok!

Here’s a photo that illustrates exactly what we mean – Team Canada goalie Mark Visentin wears all Vaughn goalie equipment, except for his glove…Why? Well, as goalies on our team will tell you, a catcher is a very personal preference, since not every goaltender has the same size of hands, or the same preference pocket-wise, or strapping, or any number of other factors.
For the most part, goalies appear to have complete sets of gear, but we often wonder if that’s due to trying to make a fashion statement, or because the entire set is exactly what works best from a functional perspective?
Our point is this: If you can, try a few different pieces in a demo offering, or try on several gloves (I’m in the process of possibly switching from the Reebok Revoke/Premier 3 glove to either the Bauer RX10 or Bauer One100 glove, for example) in-store to get a feel for what really feels right.
Who cares if every piece isn’t the same brand, or even the same color? Hey – With you making the big saves, no one’s going to question you.
Goalies: Have the leadership to go your own way, and wear what you want.
