from Evan Grossman at NHL.com:
Nobody gets a bigger kick out of the idea that NHL nets need to go bigger in order to improve offense than today’s equipment manufacturers. With the cutting-edge hockey gear that companies are pumping out quicker than machine gun fire, the idea of bigger targets is just laughable to these guys....
Sticks have been turned into one-piece rocket launchers. Sweaters have morphed into sophisticated, aerodynamic uniform systems that will make players faster, drier and better protected. Skates are turning into composite moon boots that will allow players to skate harder than ever before. Gloves, pads, helmets are all getting lighter and stronger, all combining to create the fastest and most powerful game ever played on ice.

This story leans heavily upon a discussion with Easton Hockey’s Ned Goldsmith. Mr. Goldsmith and I will be speaking this week for another edition of “The Gearhead."- George
