Battram Action Shots!!!

[LBR119]

I couldn't find a thread on this. So I thought I'd start one.

Here are couple shots from our practice last night. I've never had any formal hockey or goalie training, so I decided to join a beginners group held by Hockey North America. They supposedly will bring in some goalie coaches to work with us. So far its been mostly shooting and skating drills. We have a scrimmage for the last 15-30 minutes.

The first pic is from a 2-0 drill, they were still at the other Blue line. the other one is from the scrimmage but the puck is in the other end.

I'll post more "REAL" action shots when I get some.

Cheers.

Thanks to Dave wells for this photo.

Just went to a slightly longer paddle in fact, must be the angle. I do go down but like most fat, out of shape tenders, if I can stay on my feet and not have to spend 30 seconds trying to get up, I will!

Crap, I guess I gave away the answer to who it was in the photos, not that any of you didn't already know anyway! ;)

Kool stuff guys. I don't have any friends and my family doesn't love me enough to come to the rink and take photos. I tell my wife that my next wife will have at least a slight interest in hockey.

[TQLAwilly]

Been playing with the same guys for about 5 years now at this semi-private pickup in Escondido. Brought my camera and asked my buddy to take some shots. Not real Action Action shots but most of those were so blurry you could just see colors flying by.

Will not include the 5 shots of water bottles and other unmentionables. :D

[cujo312]

it's probably just because your pads are black and the pictures a little blurry, but are your pads narrower than 11"s?

[acmeguy]

I second the question, or are you seven feet tall?

[TQLAwilly]

I am 6'3" about 255. Built like a lineman.:D They are 11" wide.

Battram Pads, Gloves and C/A

[Cujo_64]

nice gear guys !

[LBR119]

After taking a year off roller hockey, I decided to sub for my former team last night. Man...I forgot how hot it gets. It also took me a few minutes to adjust from Ice and the rules.

Nice design on your pads. Clean and simple. What model are they, Verge?

Thanks!!!They are Fury's.:)

[acmeguy]

I ordered new gear from Scott, but told him I won't need it (or be able to pay for it ) until September. Nexus pads and gloves!!! Me like new equipment!!!

I know it's a ways off but I'm still very excited! So for now this is the only pic I have. If you use your imagination you can picture me in my new Battram gear.

[BoltThrower]

Acme, nice save ya CWD! ;)

[snlsmith]

The only pics I have is when I was borrowing some gear from another goalie. Attention to detail on these graphics was beyond great. I only got to use them for about 30 minutes of ice time.

1. sweet jersey.

2. What is up with that net? it looks like a big/bad version of the stuff we used to make for street hockey. makes the old crappy nets they put out for us in my league look great.

Glad you guys like the jerseys. I never get compliments on the ice, because the guys I play with have no idea what teams they are.

The nets at our winter rink are bad, but the nets at our summer rink are atrocious. I used to check for holes before games, a strategy which paid off once when I got a goal disallowed by showing the ref the hole in the side of the net where the puck went through. But now, there are so many holes, I don't even bother. Two weeks ago, a guy came in on a breakaway. I didn't see where the puck went until I saw it hit the end board behind the net. Turns out it was a goal.

This is the same rink that doesn't turn on the parking lot lights at night, covers holes in the boards with cardboard, hasn't repaired their skate sharpener in over five years, etc. Unfortunately, we either play there or we don't play.

[mike122976]

[QUOTE=, covers holes in the boards with cardboard.[/QUOTE]

HAHAHAHhahahhaaha that is hilarious! lol

You must be in China! lol

They probably clean the ice with shovel scoops, water buckets and ice cubes! lol
but hey, if that is all you can get, its better than nothing.

[Butters McFly]

Oooh... I'm not in China. :mad:

Geographically close, culturally and economically, not so much.

Just got back an hour or so ago from our club team's game against the Hiroshima All-Stars. Outmanned 18-10, we have two guys in their 50s and me at 40, and we managed a tie.

I wore my Battram Retros for the first time in a game. They're shorter and narrower than my old pads, but they've been lucky for me so far. I even -- for the first time ever -- got a compliment on my gear. A guy from Nagasaki University, who played after us, was amazed by my retros. After I let him touch them (I said, "soft, huh/yawarakai, ne") he said, "retro?"

I just smiled.:D

Butters, where do you get all your retro jerseys from? Are they goalie cut size or do you have to modify each one?

[Butters McFly]

Butters, where do you get all your retro jerseys from? Are they goalie cut size or do you have to modify each one?

I'm a big DIYer, so I buy the blank goal-cut jerseys (mostly Athletic Knit, K1 and SP) and crests separately, then affix the crests and lettering/numbering myself. I get most of the crests on eBay, and make some of them myself with bulk tackle twill and an Xacto knife.

If you want to give it a shot, I'd be happy to give you some pointers.

I'm all ears for some pointers. Where did you find the blank Jets white jersey? SP and AK don't seem to carry any Jets jerseys from my research.

[Butters McFly]

My Jets (or 76-78 Rangers) jersey blanks were made by K1. I'm not sure where to find them in Canada, but you can get them in the US through Hockey Jerseys Direct. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired, but it's the only place I know of online that sells them.

I made one of the Jets crests myself and found the others on eBay.

Thanks for the info about the Jets jersey. Thats a tough one to track down. I'm still not seeing that one on the site you suggested. I've done a few jerseys myself. I just wish I could sew so it would keep the cost down. I've done 2 University of Maine jerseys and 1 Flyers (Lindbergh). Bought everything from ebay or had a jersey store make some numbers up and do the sewing and pressing.

[Butters McFly]

Ah, you're right, it's not on the HJD site, but they should be able to get it, since it's available on the K1 site (http://www.k1hockey.com/NEW/vintage1.htm), under "Rangers Vintage." Just contact HJD before you order.

Sewing is pretty easy, as long as you have access to a sewing machine. So easy, in fact, that an eight-year-old child can do it, in certain countries. :(

[hollywood]

I see it now Butters. I'm going to hunt one down.

Thanks. I beileve you wear a set as well, no?
On Scott's recommendation, I sprayed them with a high-end leather boot spray. I actually like that they havent darkened up (as with sno-seal). I think it's a nice, rich dark(ish) caramel color. So far between the spray and waterproofing in the factory (before the matertial got to Battram) they so no signs of water damage.
