Subject: goalie equipment for sale
My husband saw this ad posted on the electronic bulletin board at work. I
figured it might be of intrest. Respond directly to the email listed below,
not to me. --Lea
Complete set of professional goalie equipment for someone 5'6" to 6'0" tall.
Used only during a Blackhawk training camp. Left hand catch, right hand
blocker, fiberglass Eddy cat's-eye mask, Cooper pads, yadda, yadda, yadda. Cost
me $2,500. Yours, tastefully collected into the largest equipment bag known to
mankind, for the ridiculously low price of $900 cash. I stopped Chelios on the
break-away, but destroyed my left knee in the process. I'm now on active
retirement. Call me if you want to check this stuff out. Go Hawks!

Subject: Goaltender Masks
All this talk about goaltender masks I have not yet seen anyone refer
to certification. If you play on Canadian Hockey Association or USA
Hockey sanctioned teams, they must be certified by HECC in the USA
and by CSA in Canada. Also, once purchased, no modifications can be
made without the approval of the manufacturer. This includes paint
and/or decals. Please keep this in mind when shopping for a mask.

The message you sent was:
From: email@hidden
We got our son a Heaton goalie helmet that we like very much - the chin
comes further down on his neck than his previous helmet, and the front of
the whole helmet is shaped so that any puck that hits will be deflected
back and to the side. It has Kevlar reinforced chin and forehead,
fiberglass for the rest, carbon steel cage. We bought it at Don Simmons
last spring, and the price compared favorably with the other hockey
stores we stopped in while we were in Toronto. $199US for senior, $185US
for junior size. CSA and HECC approved - not all the helmets you see are
approved, and they need to be for USAHockey insurance coverage.
Don Simmons has a web site, www.donsimmons.com.
Hope this helps,
Jan.
