Hockey Goalie Equipment Sites
How the equipment goalie during the year?
I have a scientific research project it's worth 60-70% of my mark and I am doing the (hockey) team goalkeeper has changed over the years? Can anyone help? Perhaps the site or something?
The change of equipment may be the biggest difference in the game as we know it today, compared the game of our father. Just look at the pictures, there is a noticeable difference. From the first days of play, the goalkeepers are brown leather pads were very thin, but do not wear masks at all, in today's world seems crazy. Even the 80 tablets have not changed. They have time same coffee that the pills were very thin and fine. The evolution of the mask is a very important factor in changing the goalkeeper of the team. How did you get started very raw plastic masks with fixed eyes and nose, wearing a Canadian Jacques "Plant in 1959. These are the most recognizable in the game. Hulls is a major step in 70 years, especially among goalkeepers in Europe / Soviet Union and Tretiak, who wore the helmet with mask regular players (used goalie Chris Osgood a few). The 90 has made the greatest revolution between the equipment. Platelets are no longer made of leather, but made of synthetic materials that come in a variety of colors to match team colors. At the top color and material, the pills have grown in size. They are about 4-6 cm above the knee and about 12 cm. Faceplates and the revolution have bulkened mask fiberglass that we know today. Each archer will customize the illustrations are all expressions of the man behind the mask. The new pads are to accommodate different styles of goalkeepers, with the evolution of the butterfly from the bottom up. Until the 2000s, the pills were very size for long because, until what the NHL and IIHF have begun to regulate the size of the plates, so everything is right. They made a little smaller for creating high scores games. Many goalkeepers younger had problems with the new rules because they were using pads to compensate for size size. Even for the 2009/10 season, which governs the pills as the padding on the inside of the legs is reduced, so the guards can not compensate for that of a slow reaction of 5 holes. So basically, pads and helmets are safer, but larger and larger.
