We’re back! Hadda take a break due to working longer hours at my irl job! I have a few more ideas already cooked up that are ready to be made! Hope you all enjoyed!

In my opinion the strangest equipment in nhl history was Montreal Canadians goalie Bill Durnan’s “gloves”. He had custom gloves that allowed him to switch which hand he held the stick during game, doing this helped him be one of the best goalies during the 1940’s

Dude your content is so good and worth waiting for. You remind me of an NFL YouTube content creator named KTO. You tell great stories about league history

[mikepinkiewicz]

Re: Blackburn. We called that 2nd blocker a "Glocker" on the ol' GSBB. If you look close at the photos, you'll see it's not actually a 2nd stick glove. You can see the pocket next to the thumb in that one kneeling pic you used. It is a catch glove with a blocker board attached. This gave Blackburn the ability to cover a puck like any other goalie without risk of getting hurt.

David Perron wears the tinted visor because of sensitivity to the bright lights from concussions. I think it's more of a safety thing than a style thing these days.

[kidman]

It's important to note, that when Gretzky went to the Rangers, he too had a Nike skate that was just like Fedorov's, but with NYR colorway.

[blueshky]

I wear a mirrored visor, it's a godsend. I have epilepsy and some light sensitivity so the visor helps with that on the ice.

[NeroTheIncredible]

in 2000's I had Nike hockey rollers, they had an alien design but were very comfortable and nice to skate with

[romangagne]

When it came to visors, the first time I ever saw one of a different colour or tint was when Eric Weinrich was with the Flyers where he had a yellow one. Ovi definitely popularized the dark tint.

[jackbrown]

You always have such great video ideas, and you never miss

[joelvinson]

Man, I wanted NIKE gear as a kid so bad. EDIT: The old John Vanbiesbrouck helmet was amazing,

[jasonmullins]

The air zoom skates and bolero gloves, still the sickest looking equipment!!

[philly]

I still have my Nike Air Zooms black with white swoosh. Size 9, never baked if anyone is interested 😂. It's a nice boot, with Tuuk blades with 1 sharpening. I got these back in 96 or 97.. back in the days

Lange skates, the guys that use to make skis and aluminum tennis rackets. Lange tested the waters in mid-70’s with a plastic skate, with a hinge at the ankle and the old tubular blade. They weighed a ton and the back broke above the hinge. Needless to say they didn’t get anywhere, I never saw anyone else wearing a pair and I went back to Bauer after a year.

[pinkwolf]

I get the tinted visor thing. I have extreme light sensitivity now due to Covid and I can’t go to see my local team play without wearing tinted lenses. The glare of the ice is too much for me and I end up leaving half way due to migraine. I usually wear yellow or pink tints. However, the polarised visor that Ovi was wearing was a bit much and I can’t see any other reason for him wearing it that isn’t a cosmetic one.

Also…I REALLY hope Crosby washes that jock strap!

[cbcapri]

You could probably do another video like this. Cooperalls, aluminum sticks, offset blades, curved shaft goalie sticks, and the glow puck come to mind. Not sure if the offset blade or goalie stick actually made the NHL though.

[marcokemper]

Nike inlines and iceskates and alu shafts been amazing.
Busch carbon sticks from Switzerland as well.
Those been good times

[kushroyal]

I begged for those federov nike skates when i was a kid

[davekushman]

I have a friend who was born with only one hand, the end of his other arm was basically a nub but he decided to be a goalie still. He played AAA all through minor hockey and decided to go to beer league instead of juniors but instead of going double blocker like Blackburn he had a prosthetic like glove, it would strap onto his forearm to stay on during games and the only bad thing was he wasn’t able to close the glove so he had to make sure he was catching the puck in the pocket otherwise it created a rebound. He told me there was a company that made a prosthetic glove that he would be able to close when he wanted to but it was around $20, 000 to have it made so he opted to just learn how to catch the puck instead.
