Easton SE16 gloves and a Stealth RS stick. Also got a Speed Demon puck, you shoot it against the boards from a specific distance and it measures your shot speed. Seems to work well but it's kind of disheartening, I think it must read low
Those are very nice. Will be interested to hear how you like them after playing a couple games in them. I'm interested in picking up a pair of Warrior gloves myself as I've heard good things about them.

Gear wise? Outside of the new sticks I'm buying with some of the x-mas money I received No. However my fiancee did buy me a Blues home Alex Pietrangelo jersey.

Wonder if those kind of gifts will continue after she becomes wife.
Bought myself a Wild jersey and got tickets to a Wild game. That was nice. Bought my kid his first real hockey stick, a helmet, and he got some other hockey stuff too.
Picked up a pair of Bauer Vapor X60 Pro's with a Gunzo's gift card.
I also got a couple Total Hockey gift cards that will be put to good use.
And finally my wife got me the white Hershey Bears vintage jersey they will be wearing this year. I will be using it as my white jersey at rat. A lot of people told me it would be too heavy and not breathable at all, but it seems to be almost as light as my cheap practice jerseys and there are pretty substantial vents on the side so we'll see. Here is what it looks like: http://www.ahlstore.com/teams/hershe...y-2011-12.html
You could say I did. I upgraded our old living room TV to a 65" plasma for one reason: hockey looks absolutely amazing on it. Can wait for the WC game.
Mission Axiom T6 gloves, not breathable at all and already wearing out in the palms, therefore I also just ordered the Easton S6 gloves which have small holes for breathing and look way better as well as better quality
also got myself an Alkali CA3 stick as well as the Reebok 3k stick, both w/ ABS blade for outdoor play..
Reebok 7K Custom pants to go with my beer league's uni. I must look like a moron out there, haha.
Aww no matching pants are the best! In mine we wear red jerseys, and some guys no joke wear the red pants, red socks, red gloves and red helmets...I can't even put in words how funny they look!
Speaking of new pants, my father told me yesterday he was going to buy me some new Bauer pants as a late christmas present, which I was in need of. I also used my Christmas money to purchase a Henrik Sedin away jersey.
Nice looking gloves, did you custom order those or are they pro stocks? Prob my favorite retail gloves, aside from the fact that I don't like the way any gloves fit.
Got myself some Bauer One80 gloves when I saw the 2011 limited edition colors in white w/royal accents. Perfect for my team. Ordered in Nov. when I saw them and decided not to put them on a Christmas list because with my luck they'd be unavailable by the time someone else ordered them.
Got a bauer rme 2 chrome cage thinking of returning it for the ccm fm 480 cage that i actually wanted
Prob going to buy a new stick after my easton s19 just cracked in the blade cant feel the puck at all. Decisions decisions but idk since i have a prostock enstrom se16 and a heatley se16 i got from last year
