poor kid, hopefully he'll make it over to the tournament it should be a good one this year (better than the rink last year in NZ, it was smooth but uncovered concrete!! I wore through 3 S17s in the 5 days of that tournament).

Perhaps if he checks the local pawn shops he'll find it - one rink in Sydney used to be notorious for people's gear getting stolen. One day our goalie played in the morning, went back in to watch a game, had it stolen from the car, recovered it at the local pawn shop - still sweaty, and played in it THAT afternoon.

Hi Steven,

Wow. That's a helluva story. Could make an interesting scene in a movie.

"Excuse me, that's my equipment."

The pawn shop clerk yawns.

"Yeah, mate, right. It's still gonna cost ya (whatever sweaty, used goalie gear costs). See you next week."

Goalie says, "What the...!"
