Yeah, no real interest, tbh. Maybe someday.

Ok ty for getting back to me

Yup, I did. They ended up making this an option and I’ve since gotten my pads without the outer knee gusset.

Interesting question! Honestly, I only barely remember the XLite series.. and so I could be misremembering what it felt like. Personally, I remember it feeling very much like a Vaughn in its 'feel' but not necessarily in its closure. It had more of a "pancake" feel like the Vaughns do, but I don't remember a ton about the break itself. I would very much doubt it was a 580 since that was very unique to CCM at the time (and still is) and the 590 might be closer, but I don't think that's quite right, either. If you're insistent on CCM/True, I would try the 590. It's a great all-around break. If you want the same feel and closure as your old TPS, I'd look at the Vaughn line, but honestly I can't give you a very good recommendation as I've *never* used Vaughn, and I haven't even played goalie in... maybe two years now? So I haven't kept up with the gear at all. Sorry I can't be more helpful but hopefully that helped somehow! Good luck!

Thanks for your help! Didn't realize you had stopped playing. Not sold on ccm at all. the 600 Eflex I have I can't stand. I tried a couple of Bauers on at goalie Monkey I thought the Bauer Mach felt ok. Think it's a 600, but the kid there thought it was a 590. @@ourgoalielife

@@ourgoalielife Also, the reason I thought my TPS was closer to a 580 was because I heard the 580 was made for Patrick Roy. My glove being so old (2004) I thought it would be a 580.. Honestly no idea though.

Hubert, you have no idea how much I truly appreciate you taking the time to tell me that. I made these videos so long ago, back when I still loved being a goalie. Sometimes I still think about those times fondly, and hope one day I regain the spark. Your comment really helps me point in that direction. Who knows what the future holds? We'll see. But for now I'm just really appreciative of you. Good luck out there!

​@@ourgoalielife Thank you very much for your answer. I really meant it. It's great that people such as you are sharing this kind of knowledge. I played as a goalie when I was young (4-18), and back then, I had no idea what kind of gear I used. Most of the time, I'd just buy some used stuff from an older goalie. I joined a roller/inline hockey club last year (so 17 years later) and I 'inherited' some Passau goalie gear that belongs to the club. But I'm struggling a bit to get back on track as so much has changed in terms of gear, moves, and even positioning; without even speaking about the differences between ice and hard floor for sliding and stuff. Anyway, thanks for your video, which helps me understand (maybe?) why my puck catching might not be as good as it used to be.

Good question. I've done this with stiff CCMs, but I've never done it with stiff Bauers. Since this video was made so long ago and I haven't tried the Bauers, I can't guarantee you it'll work the same way, and it might even harm your pad, though that might be a stretch. This method is really meant for either flexible or hybrid style pads, not really stiff ones that don't have any internal and/or external breaks. Hope that helps!

@@ourgoalielife thanks dude! That helped out a lot 😁

You could try just water but it might not get as soft. The heat helps soften up the leather.

Maybe someday. Sometimes I still get the itch but I haven’t played in a couple years now, I think.

Glad to hear it’s still working great for you!!

Your best bet is use. Just blood, sweat, and tears. But if you’re having a hard time keeping it open, do the method here and keep it under the couch (or whatever) for longer at the end (like 24 instead of 12 hours).

Did you wrap it in a towel? Usually the towel provides just enough cushion that it won't make any marks. I did have one time where the thumb protector bent in weirdly, but it came right back out as it dried. Without seeing it, the best I can tell you is to let it sit and dry and it might bend back.

@@ourgoalielife Yea that was it, your a life saver!

Only thing i know he plays in the nhl.

Hey! They're amazing pads. The legs are similar to Vaughns while the gloves similar to CCMs, in my opinion. Pro level, slide like a dream, no stingers whatsoever. If you have bigger calves like I do, the calf padding is adjustable to allow for more clearance. VERY stiff.. so if you like a more flexible pad, make sure to tell them that going into it.

I've been wondering the same thing!
