Picked these up from purehockey.com for $100 with free shipping. Navy X60 pros to replace my current x60 pros when the hole in the thumb completely wears through. It doesn't hurt that they match my current unis
Been trying to get into hockey for the past year, (still learning how to skate). Picked up some things here and there the past month or so (or from a while ago)
Vapor x4.0 Skates - $170 (Baked and Sharpened for free...yeah!)
Easton S9 Stealth Helmet - $26
Bauer Supreme One40 Shinguards - $33
Hockey Socks (Straight Black) - $15
Ordered (on the way)
Easton S3 Stealth Hockey Pant - $22
Have a pair of TPS Gloves and a stick from when I messed around a bit before, so don't need to buy those...
I think the only thing I need is shoulder pads, jock, elbow pads, but I think I can do skate and shoot with just gloves and a helmet.

Should look around eBay.
Got a pair of X60 Team Canada WJC returns for $100 shipping included.
I just wish it was matte instead of glossy, but whatever, not gonna complain about getting a top of the line stick for more than half price.
Sounds like there was more than one. If it was an online retailer or store that ships to the US, you want to pm me where you got it? From the picture it looks like the curve I'd use too (open mid?).

I bought it from Sportchek, they had a whole bunch. I'm pretty sure they are Canadian only though. The reason for the black paint job is iffy. Most logical thing I have heard is that these were the Ai9's before Reebok had come up with the design, so they are just black.
Here's a pic of the curve I got. Not sure who's it is, as on the stick it just said H-18 and some googling yielded no results. I compared it to the H-11 version (Hall/Sakic curve) and it was slightly less open.
Picked up a pair of size 50 Tackla 2440 pants to replace my size 54s as I lost almost 40 lbs.
Also got medium-size Bauer One40 shoulder pads to replace the much heavier size large/XL One35s.
Got an APX stick to replace an X:40 I sold, and find it to incredibly light.
Nice work. Keep it up. I bet you notice that difference on the ice.

By the time I'd have one, I'd be past selecting it on the stick rack. I've also spray painted sticks all black because I didn't lie the graphics. Big fan of the Nexus in person and have no trouble identifying that this. The Rs is a little more subtle but the yellow adds some pop.
