    I don't think that's legal. My understanding of the rules, which I've seen in most hockey leagues is that you're allowed to have a two toned, solid non patterened coloring scheme with piping. But a pattern like this that looks like the net definetly seems to me like it's illegal. In the NHL it definetly falls afoul of rule 11.1 because it gives undue assistance in goal. According to the full article it's got double stiched raised bumps, which would also fall afoul of rule 11.3 "No raised ridges are allowed on the front

    edges or sides of the chest pad, the inside or outside of the arms, or across the shoulders.


    It's not even legal in New Hampshire high school leagues which uses USA Hockey Rules ergo rule 303-a "With the exception of skates and stick, all the equipment worn by the goalkeeper must be constructed solely for the purpose of protecting the head or body, and he must not wear any garment or use any contrivance that would give him undue assistance in keeping goal."


    A goalie pad designed specifically to fool the shooters into thinking they have an open area of net is definelty illegal.

    @biswalt: Not sure on all of your reasons, but...

    edges or sides of the chest pad, the inside or outside of the arms, or across the shoulders.


    which would be relevent if the stitches were on the chest pad, arms or shoulders and not just the legs and hands.


    also re: It's not even legal in New Hampshire high school leagues which uses USA Hockey Rules...


    the article said: John Gardner, the longtime hockey coach at Avon Old Farms School in Connecticut and president of the New England Prep School Ice Hockey Association, said the... association follows National Collegiate Athletic Association rules, he said, and regulations regarding goalie pads are basically confined to the size of the equipment and not the design

    Big deal. Kotex invented pads with wings years ago. Result: less red crotch spots.

    Does this really need an "Ice Hockey" tag? Since we have shouted down the "Hoc-key?" jokes, I don't think people will be confused when they see a "Hockey" tag and think of field hockey. Though high school chicks running around in skirts never seems to be far from my mind.

    @PermanentInjuredReserve: Whenever my family visits from South Africa, they love watching "ice hockey"... problem is, the South African accent makes it sound like "Arse Hockey".


    ...Come to think of it, I'd read anything tagged "Arse Hockey". Get on it, people.
