I've tried it both ways. I really think it's different for for each set of pads. On this set there is less tension with the strap around the boot instead of through that hole in the heel. On my newer set, because of the position of the strap, it feels better with the strap through the heel hole. Are you using toe ties? In my experience those are responsible for most of my ankle issues. I just do not use them for roller.

Thanks nuynobi, the cost depends on how complicated your design is. But this one was about $1000 for the paint job.

@@iceicegoalie-OG Nice. I'd have guessed more. Still too much for me though. I'm gonna DIY it.🤞 Needless to say it will be a simple design with solid colours, 90s-style. I've had the same all-white bucket for 25 years now and it was in pretty rough shape. I've just replaced all the hardware and straps and have ordered (still waiting for) a cat eye replacement cage. I'd like to replace the foam too but I haven't found suitable replacement foam anywhere. So a bit of work but still cheaper than buying a new mask, and certainly cheaper than a custom paint job.

@@nuynobi I have good news for you - I just re-did the foam in my mask and here is the place I found it - they have foam for almost every helmet you can think of: www.resilientgoalie.com/

@@iceicegoalie-OG Thank you! I will check that out. Oh cool, they're in my neck of the woods.

I'm a little late in answering this but here you go - These are called Rollerfly Sliders and you can get them on Amazon. If they are out of stock just Google them and you should be able to find them new for around $250 or less.

hey thanks BYGTraining. This game is so much fun it's easy to talk about it with a little enthusiasm. Maybe one day I'll see you on the rink!

You should. Ken's awesome and super easy to work with. You just need a backup helmet while he works on it.

That is my favorite part

MIKE! Hi goalie brother. Slow down? Why? hahaha. I really do think goalie colabs are the coolest. And to be able to meet you in real life would be an honor. We should MAKE it happen. The PBR jersey is pretty gorgeous. One of my favorites. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment.

Definitely, we need to make a meet up happen. This was an absolute blast. We need to start working out plans for a TH-cam goalie meet up.

Thanks ovr40goalie - this really was a good time, and watching Jack's stance and skate work helped me a ton. He's a class act too so the interview was a blast indeed.

This was a great time. Chris was kind enough to meet up and hang out with me. Then he made this awesome video, which was so much fun to rewatch and relive. I enjoyed the interview and talking goalie stuff with my goalie TH-cam buddy. Thanks for watching

Thanks Booman. I love this Brian's set. If you don't mind emptying your wallet I highly recommend this brand. And custom orders are super easy with them.

hahaha you made it to the end! Thanks my Trog friend. Looking forward to seeing you play with Rollerflys. Can't wait to hear what you think of them.

Thank YOU Jack. This one was the most fun yet. I almost wish all my future videos could be colabs with other TH-cam goalies just because this was so cool to do. And thanks for the kind words, especially the ones about my intro there where I exercised my incredible acting skills.

@@iceicegoalie-OG move over Tom Cruise.

Thanks Eough. I just got too busy. I'm not a fan of busy, so this year I plan to make more time for fun stuff like this. See you in the next one!

@@iceicegoalie-OG see ya👋

Hi Kate! Thanks, yes this was really fun to make. And Ron Hextall is one of the greatest for sure. His personality made him all that much more exciting (probably unless you were one of the opposing forwards getting hacked!). I'm with you on the goalie goals and hope to someday maybe get one in beer league. I have to learn to shoot the puck past the neutral zone first hahaha.

Hi Eric! Aren's his slides just awesome? I totally recommend the get togethers. We should start a travelling league and all play each other. I gotta get my hands on the mean bus from Slapshot.

Howdy Charles! It would have been better if you were there.

I agree with Chris, it would have been so much better if you had been there Charles. Hopefully one day

Hello Vita in England! Glad to see the weather hasn't dampened your upbeat persona! It's quite cold here as well but we have some sun at least. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I'm in contract negotiations with Moose at the moment. He refuses to do the editing and doesn't want to be on camera until he gets full access to the garbage.

​@@iceicegoalie-OGthis is the best response comment I've ever seen on TH-cam hands down!!😂

It totally depends on the level of play. In street hockey around here they use a light plastic ball that works well with the lighter protection of most street pads. For inline we use a heavier weight hard plastic puck. Some inline players can shoot that puck pretty hard and I wouldn't want to face them without better protection. But if we're talking about young kids or beginners that are not shooting very hard yet you might get away with it for a while. Ice pads come in lots of price levels so they're the safest and most convenient option. There are inline specific pads out there like the ones from Passau and Kennesky that are pretty cool and designed for that inline puck. Good luck!

I've tried a lot of different suggestions for toe ties as an inline goalie and nothing has worked for me. I always end up with a wheel obstruction. I just don't use them for inline at all and for me it's fine. The pad will twist awkwardly every once in a while but it's rare.

Ha! I didn't even notice. I haven't even put up a video for a year. Speaking of...I've been trying to get to our colab. I'm obviously slow in comparison to your almost instant jem that you produced. But I worked out the snags (My IT department locked up our external drives and I couldn't get to my files - I do all my editing stuff on my work machine that lives in my house - so I use it for fun stuff too in return for the space it takes up - seems fair to me! - and they gave me access again)

@@iceicegoalie-OG yeah, you can't rush creativity. I have been rewatching a lot of old videos from my favorite TH-cam tendys and noticed your sub count jumped. Very cool! Looking forward to seeing what you put together.

Cool. Those checkered pads are classics! You gotta be you and if that style works for you there is no reason to change. Roy wouldn't change if he slapped on the pads again!

@@iceicegoalie-OG thanks. appreciate it. is there away to put sliders on old pads like mine so i have option to slide when needed?

@@bb-gc2tx On the older squishier pads, they don't have as flat of a surface on the inside edge but you should still be able to use the sliders. You'll probably need to strap them on like they are designed as opposed to using velcro tape like I did. Pads from 2006 are not that incredibly old and you should still have a decent structure there similar to the white Smith/Warrior pads I use in this video. Those are from about the same era.

@@iceicegoalie-OG ok thanks. will give it a try

Thanks Erik. It's a couple years old already and holding up better than the actual helmet.

@@iceicegoalie-OG I was just a hockeyball goalie but as far as I know those Bauer masks are pretty good, cost around 1000 euro in here and many profi hockey goaltenders use them in leagues 😉 but its probably 960.. Anyway have a great day, greets from Slovakia 👍

@@erikandrasik8667 Slovakia!!! awesomeness. Hearing from someone so far away reminds me of my grandfather who was a ham radio guy. He used to talk to people all over the globe. - And, yes, this 960 is a really good mask. It might be overkill for ball hockey unless you're using those frozen water filled balls. The padding does wear out over time and Bauer doesn't sell replacement padding for safety reasons. After some searching I found a company that does sell padding for most masks and I replaced mine. I should have made a video of that darn it! But it's like a new mask again now. Thanks for watching and commenting from the other side of the world!

@@iceicegoalie-OG Thanks so much !! Yes we play with those orange balls made from gum/plastic or something like that and it hurts a lot mainly in winter time when its freezing and its nearly like actual puck but in different shape :D So classic hockeyball mask is enough but I wouldnt risk the floorball masks cause they could fall apart after heavy shot right to the mask.. I am obsessed a lot with goalies masks, its something more compare to players when you can actually paint something on it something personal, meaningful..I just love masks and your video literally cheered me cause your mask is sick and with that yelow cage its brutal, seriously!! Have a great day, Slovakia is small but big hockey country :) Good luck man and thanks for the inspiration to the future with mask :)

Indeed! Black would have been my choice too. I already had the white ones on an set old white pads and just re-used those.

Awesome! I hope you like it as much as I do. True story: With the sliders on there your pads are just a but wider. I made a save on Friday with just the edge of the knee slider hahaha. Slider went flying but the puck stayed out. Slapped the slider back on and kept playing.

Hi Luis, I am a Chicago guy indeed. I mostly play at Fox Valley and West Meadows out in the burbs, but I sub all over the Chicago area. If you see me say hi!

haha, thanks Moose

It is hand painted with an airbrush for the major parts and traditional brush for the tiny details. You can paint a whole mask with a traditional brush but the results are different. Luongo has some cool traditional brush masks.

Thanks Ryan! Yeah 3rd place was bummer. We did really well but there was one guy on one team, that we had to play twice. That guy had my number. Stupid guy hahaha

@@iceicegoalie-OG haha always is one stupid guy it seems! Have a great weekend buddy!

This season is tough indeed. I've been to 2 games and they lost both. There are flashes of good things but they give up SOOOOOOO many shots. No goalie can survive on this team.

@@iceicegoalie-OG I agree, I do like watching Petr Mrázek and Alex Stalock has a unique fun style but yah, the guys in front of them aren't helping.

@@Goalier95 Fun Fact: The eyes on the back of my mask were inspired by a Petr Mrazek mask from about 10 years ago. Here's a link if you wanna see... ingoalmag.com/news/petr-mrazek-has-eyes-in-the-back-of-his-head/

@@iceicegoalie-OG LOVE IT!!

Thanks! About 2 months because the artist has lots of other projects always going.

@@iceicegoalie-OG That's not bad at all, considering a few mask painters or more specifically air brush artists are not accepting new clients because they are so backlogged with orders. Thanks for the quick reply!

@@Goalier95 No problem. Ken is really good. You just have to follow up with him from time to time or your mask might sit. I bugged him about once a week for updates and he always replies.

What's up Charles!? I wish Moose could come but he's too wild of a partier and would definitely wreck the place. We've had great luck with houses. You can run into an occasional weird owner or funny neighbor though, but as long as you aren't too loud and do not wreck the place it's way better than a hotel. This house was stocked with tons of free beer!

Hi Jarrod! Thanks a lot, man. The lizard comment was a throwback to my old fishing video. I know how you feel with that Pittsburgh tourney. When I first started playing way back in the 90s my inline team (we thought we were good) signed up for a tournament at a local college. We had no idea what to expect because there weren't many people playing inline way back then. Turns out there were pro teams traveling around doing tournaments. Think Globetrotters vs The Washington Generals 5th string farm club.

Hi Adam! hahaha...You can give them a toothbrush. Just throw it from a good distance.

Did you see your name in there? 👀👍

@@iceicegoalie-OG of course! Always appreciate the shoutout!! Way to sneak about 18 shoutouts in one little snipit.

I dig your logo!

That sounds awesome!! As the host team you are the one to beat. How many teams come to play? I hope you kick all their butts!

@@iceicegoalie-OG this year we have roughly 64 teams coming down. I looked at the schedule with all the games to get that number so I might’ve counted the same teams a few times

@@Leafsfanforever That is truly a fantastic turn out. So glad the COVID is behind us. Good luck.

Thanks Chris!! Did you have to change your TH-cam name too, because of their switch to "handles"? I'm bummed I didn't pay attention to their email and somebody else stole my name LOL.

I will totally be there on the 27th Atkins! Can't wait to drink a beer with you.

Hi Kurt!! This is you right? TH-cam messed up everyone's comment ID unless we all went and claimed our own addresses on their "handle" link. If we didn't, other people claimed them and we get stuck with an ID like @user-xl5ox7xi1g

Haha - I'm guessing you know about the Wookiees calendar @user-mh5wp2to6e - not absolutely certain but I think I know who's on the other side of this comment. Starts with a D?

Thanks!! Getting the story to flow is a real trick. The inline tourney in Vegas is dead. The rink became a concert venue. But there are still ice tournaments in Vegas.

hahahahaha depends on the mugs. If you have one of those "no workee 'till I have my coffee" cups you are probably set. Most trips (plane, place to stay, expenses) cost about $1000 to $1500 depending on how much you spend while you're there.

I agree, Jason. It's much easier for goalies to focus on the shooter and what they might do, when we can pretty much ignore the pass option.

@IceIceGoalie for sure I'm a goslie as well but been playing d alot lately so i understand a little better than most

I'd like to see how you do that. Does it hold up?

@@iceicegoalie-OG yes it holds up pretty well. It’ll stays put. I drill holes on the Rollerfly where it needs to be then I screw in a long screw. I also use a countersink drill bit so that the head of screw won’t be exposed on the surface. I cut a slit on the side of the pads then insert a small square piece of plastic where the screws goes through. Rollerfly lays flush along the inside of the pads. Pads are pretty old and used strictly for inline hockey.

@@vezina808 That's kind of genius, Vezina. You should make a video. It would get a TON of views. Thanks for sharing. I might try it.

Funny you should ask - (short answer: for inline, No) Long answer: I've been wondering about this. I tried several methods for inline and always had trouble with the lace tangling in the wheel. Almost all my inline goalie friends do not use toe ties. For ice I've always used them but recently had one break mid-game. I just removed it and didn't even notice a difference the rest of the game. I'm thinking of scrapping the whole toe tie thing all together because like you say - "it would save a lot of time" - I don't really even know what the point of them is. My pads rotate fine without them.

Haha thanks, Uzi. There's not as much flow up there as there used be but I'm letting it go wild one more time.

@@iceicegoalie-OG lol!! Absolutely man it looks great!!!
