I got a late call to cover an organized pick up game and had to make some quick decisions for the kit. Thankfully I had just acquired this set of 1983/84 variant Cooper GP95L (32 inch) pads. Picked them up on Saturday, cleaned and oiled them on Saturday...and got them on the ice Tuesday! Pretty good turn-around I think.
I'm very happy with this kit I put together on the fly and limited time available.
If you like the jersey, you can order one from my friends at VintageGoalie.ca .

Dude, this is so awesome. I miss the old style goal tending, and I want to keep it alive just the way you are.

@nicksperdakes 2 года назад

Your collection is absolutely insane. We all knew it was extensive but this brings it into perspective. You have more gear in there than the Original six did.

@CooperGoalie 2 года назад

I think I have a good portion of the expansion era covered too 😂

@nicksperdakes 2 года назад

@@CooperGoalie let me just go into 20-30 years worth of goalie history to figure out what to wear. First word goalie problems.

@foxtanker4055 6 месяцев назад

Wow, that brings back memories. I had a GM12 blocker, a GM21st trapper and the same pads you are wearing. Seems like ages ago and I wondered how anyone could play the current style using that equipment. Well you answered it. I now have the most current gear including newest warrior pads and chesty. I now play in Utrecht The Netherlands, but I think maybe some arenas wouldn't let you wear that mask in Canada for insurance reasons. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

@CooperGoalie 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment! I really enjoy when folks that remember using this stuff see the videos and let me know their thoughts and memories. I typically bring a spare mask with me when I use the fiberglass face hugger...that way if a rink person DOES have an issue with it..i can just swap to an 80s helmet combo.

A+ performance just for finding and showing up in that gear

@LudwigBeefoven 6 месяцев назад

That equipment makes the goalie look like either Gilles Gilbert from the Boston Bruins 1973-74 .. 1979-80. Or, Jim Craig from Team USA that won the Olympic Gold medal in 1980.

@CooperGoalie 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment! It's never a bad day when you're compared to a couple of greats like Gilbert and Craig!

@dirpapa Год назад

its the dream to have a collection of pads like that

@thealrightestguitarist9135 2 года назад

That mask makes the whole kit gel together. I only ever wore one for street hockey, but I remember how amazing the sight lines were. I definitely prefer the cage from a safety standpoint, but the vision in the old masks was incredible. The basement is looking amazing. It reminds me of the used gear room at my favourite gear store...except yours is WAY neater :)

@CooperGoalie 2 года назад

Yeah, I’m glad I made the decision to go with the fiberglass for this one, it definitely finished the look perfectly. Sections of the basement are typically a mess, but I always keep the gear racks organized. It helps me when I have to shop for a kit to know where it all is, and that’s all grouped together appropriately.

@raider3164 2 года назад

Up an till 10 years ago I never knew about knee guards. So they have been around that long

@CooperGoalie 2 года назад

Yep, knee pads with vintage legs are a must have in my book!

I love that you collect the old school gear. I have an Aunt that worked for Cooper way back. I'm impressed that you still use this stuff. where do you fined all this great stuff.

@CooperGoalie 6 месяцев назад

I'm just always searching the internet sites like ebay, cragislist, kijiji, offerup, etc etc. Plus i visit just about any antiques, thrift, consignment, sporting goods, etc stores that I come across. Always always always keeping an eye out.

@BonesyTV 2 года назад

It’s crazy watching you play in that mask! That thing looks awesome with that setup too. Gotta get one of those jerseys for myself. Wonder who could have worn the Miller chest protector last though 🤔🤔

@CooperGoalie 2 года назад

That mask fit so well too! I realized mid game that I kept using my blocker hand to feel my head...and it hit me that I was subconsciously checking to see if I was wearing anything. There was ZERO obstruction of view and it fit well, so my brain kept feeling like I might have forgot to put something on. As for the Miller, I'm hoping whomever may have used it steps up and lets us know soon.

@CooperGoalie 2 года назад

Thank you for checking out the channel 👊 The pads are in such great shape, just that one scar on the knee rolls, but that gives them character. I left all the original straps too.

@dcurran84438 2 года назад

Excellent video from beginning to end, as usual 👍👏 I figure a couple inadvertent sticks to the mask is better than a hard shot to the melon 😉 The additional scuffs to the mask gives it some character 👍 Brian of Kick Save Masks did a great job with your mask 👍👍

@CooperGoalie 2 года назад

Thank you! I'm pretty dang happy with the mask and agree, Brian did a great job. I do have to get with Ed Cubberly and order a proper strap set from him for this one though. I'll do that soon.

@dansledemicercle7686 2 года назад

I don't know where you are staying, but between going to visit a museum and going to your house, the choice would be easy! I have a question...all your leggings have what size? I have 10 legging kits and it varies between 34+2, 35+2, 36+1 and 37+1. I have a preference for 37+1...what is it for you?

@CooperGoalie 2 года назад

There are no “+” in this gear. Nearly all of the pads are either 32”, 33”, or 34”. A few pieces are 30” or 31”. There is a lot of variation between manufacturers as for similarity of size. Like a 30” Miller Lancer (90’s pad) fits me more like a Cooper 32” 90s pad. I’m very comfortable in the 32-34” range without really noticing any difference in how they feel. THANK YOU for the question. That was one I don’t get asked very often.

@dansledemicercle7686 2 года назад

@@CooperGoalieDue to my height, I have difficulty finding it. I started goaltending just before the pandemic...since I couldn't play, I shopped online. Since the pandemic is over, I can't find anything. I decided to start a collection of goalie cut sweaters... I even started sewing to enlarge sweaters 😉
