Evolution of Hockey Goalie Equipment

I started playing goalie in the 80s. I stopped playing goalie in 2008 because my knees couldn't take it anymore. The evolution of the equipment has been amazing and I can't believe how light the gear is now. I was the first goalie at my high school to wear a modern day type mask. I got a hard time about wearing one. But I think my senior year GAA still stands today (~1.15). Probably because I felt invincible behind it. :)

[@mikejones3rfs]

You don't have to play butterfly.thdre are still some companies making traditional goalie leg pads like brown Miller and kenesky. Brown will make you an old school pad in 3 weeks. I have 13.25 inch wide pads from brown hockey

I had a couple of good goalies. I couldn't do your job. Thank you.

[@oneone6268]

What do you mean modern day mask ? Like the ITECH ones that Bauer took over and are similar to the masks all goalies currently wear ?

[@jongeo]

You should talk about how the butterfly style revolutionized leg pads by incorporating large, padded knee landings and a square profile that lays flat on the ice, and how this led to the adoption of modern styles like the VH and Reverse VH post stances. And, how goalie skates started increasing the angle of attack on the blades to make lateral toe pushes easier to do while in the butterfly.

[@catholiccowboy8545]

...aaah ok ... i get it why today they all go kneeling. crawling and creeping on the ice 90% of the time. They look like garden gnomes, they pull themselves up only when the siren will blow. The upper side of the net is always open and free to all, more goals should be scored.... It's not the case ... Strange !! **** A reminder : Glenn Hall has "invented" this " Butterfly style" (for those who think hockey is a robot game) but G. hall was not sleeping laying on the ice 99% of time, he was alert, fast and nimble. A pleasure to watch. That's long gone .... Video game's style of incompetent goalies is the norm today. No wonder why the Vezina today is given only to those friendly with the GMs, goals against don't count anymore.

[@bobreid5079]

I was going to suggest this. Lighter materials that don’t absorb water and take on weight allow the up and down of the butterfly without exhausting the goalie. Mask shape has also been optimized to reduce impact of shots allowing goalies to stay down in the line of fire.

[@catholiccowboy8545]

The " butterfly style " was " invented "(lol) long ago by Glenn Hall in the late 50s, early 60s and it revolutionized nothing .. lol .. . Today they invented the " bed and box spring " style. There i corrected it, it's more accurate.

[@lo-fi8558]

To hell with the butterfly style.. be unpredictable and reactive. All this bullshit with going down on every shot I see now. That’s how I play, and it works.

[@catholiccowboy8545]

@@lo-fi8558 .. actually today's style it's anything but butterfly because they are + 3/4 of the game crawling on their knees, stuck on ice and logically it should be called the Suction style. Today really anybody could be a goalie even a great goalie because they look like and they are robots, square and large and wide (they remind me of 2 barn doors) and i think they are on wheels too. Even the catcher's mitt is enormous ... lol why so big really ???!!!! The leg pads, those Styrofoam boards, go up to the navel ... so funny .. lol ... They are stuck there real monolith, they move as little as possible because they can't .. Oh yes sure they have great fancy moves sliding on knees from left to right and right to left.

It’s crazy how old hockey actually is, and the fact that most rules and equipment remained so similar.

[@Keplerb-od1lr]

I grew up watching 80s hockey. Many goalies were small and the position wasn’t evolved like it is now so yeah they let in some bad goals. But it was fun as hell because each goalie played a unique style and there were a lot of acrobatics and some amazing desperation saves. Some of those 80s goalies went on to win Stanley Cups in the mid to late 90s when guys like Jagr and Lindros were playing so I guess they weren’t that bad!

5:50 Greg Harrison and Dave Dryden made the first hybrid birdcage and shell mask in 1978. Gilles Meloche and Chico Reash both wore them in the 80s. Patrick Roy wore one in his rookie year in 1986 (the white one with the Jofa pads and gloves). You pretty much never saw the Full Flush mask (the ones with eyeholes) by this time as many like Billy Smith et co went with the birdcage and helmet combo,, the last few going away in the late 80s like that guy who was on Detroit but more played for their farm team. Many were also abandoning the Helmet/birdcage combo by then (but not nearly all of them, guys like Irbe, Hasek, Healy, Osgood, and a few others still sticking with their Jofa Cheater and Klima combo or the SK2000 with either an HM30 or 50. Even Hasek eventually went to Warwick and had them make him that custom he wore in the late days at Buffalo then Detroit. As well going into the 90s there was a shift towards more Synthetic materials which made them about a third of the traditional weight as they were known to amass water in them over the season, getting up to 10 lbs each - Emerging brands like Win-Lite/Aeroflex and Vic were some early examples in pro gear of this kind (now this is common place).

[@place_desjardins]

There were some changes not documented. Some manufacturers changed the shape of the blocker from a rectangle to one with a parallelograms at the top and bottom. Brian's came up with the toe shield that covered the gap between the boot of the pads to the ice. Both aren't around anymore. Chest protection changed from being two separate pieces, the chest protector and arm protector to one-piece. Goalie pants also evolved and some manufacturers developed the girdle and shell design like CCM. Straps on leg pads went from being leather to now being replaced with elastic straps held on with velcro. Toe straps are gone and toe ties are used. The hole in the front of the leg pad's boot section is gone and is one continuous section of padding in the front of the foot. Skates have changed to from a one piece metal blade like figure skates attached to the bottom of a boot to a cowl covering the bottom of the boot that holds the blade. Now, the cowl has been replaced with a blade holder riveted to the bottom of the boot as goalies. A thicker shell is attached to the skate boot's toe area.

The biggest change is isn’t the dimensions it’s the mechanics of the goal pads and how they can be used allowing tenders to move while in the butterfly .. therefor they can go down seal the Ice and stay down .. rather than dive or pop up and move across . This is a a why taller goalies have had more success . Once down the taller goalie still covers a good portion of the upper net and can move in that position across the net

Great stuff Sir! I played goalie from 1980-2000. I tried to get back in in 2010. Aside from my body not doing what it used to, the gear and style of play was drastically different. Gone are the days of the two pad stack and skate saves. I was good, key word was. Without $4000 to drop on new gear my $2000 did not buy the best tech in pads and I could feel it. The angles In the he butterfly were just off enough to present a gaps. Also the positioning of the goal and the crease were a big change. A video on that would be cool.( if not already up). I could go on. I was taught it’s not the arrow it’s the Indian that makes a worrier. But in a ice hockey goalie’s case there is a lot in what bow one has. Thanks again for the video.

Russian goalie Vladislav Tretriak was the first to use it, then Billy Smith, Glen Hanlon, Hasek and Osgood wore them too. Smith was also the first goalie that I knew of to use colored pads beginning in 1980 along with a black goalie stick. I guess you can say he was ahead of his time esthetic-wise.

[@greathoonta3461]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention how much the butterfly effected equipment design. It changed the design of sticks to have blades that could sit flat on the ice in the butterfly, pads with lips around the outer side of the goalies leg to help with rebound control, thicker padding to protect a goalies inner side knees for dropping in the butterfly, the adaption of thigh and rear leg protection, and the adaption of double netted gloves allowing for more energy to be taken away from the puck to assist in rebound control. I’m also quite surprised you didn’t mention the change in goalie skate design from players. Goalie skates began to be build heavier and with double outer edged blades so that goalies could move more laterally, and have less risk of damaging their skate blades from kicking off the posts. Another one you missed is the hybrid pad type. Butterfly pads are wider and have a much softer surface to aid in rebound control at the cost of speed which is fine because butterfly goalies play a positional game where they can control rebounds and stay square with shooters well. However, the hybrid pad innovation which has recently evolved to also have the qualities of butterfly pads are designed more flexible and lighter allowing goalies to move faster and more flexibly at the cost of rebound control and equipment that needs to be replaced faster. Recently however True and Bauer have been able to make butterfly pads as flexible as hybrid pads without the accordion design in the pad making better rebound control. Lastly, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the brief period where visors and what were basically just player helmets with neck protectors were used. Hasek and Tim Thomas were well known for that old helmet design.

I think the curved stick was invented by accident in the 60s when a player named Boom Boom Geofreon broke the blade of his stick in practice, putting a bend in it.

I get wanting larger pads, however personally I wear one size smaller. My style requires as much movement as possible so I need as little bulk as possible. My only complaint about my leg pads is they need to add more cushioning to the landing area for your knees. I get really bad bruising on my knee caps from dropping unless I have volleyball knee pads on under my leg pads. I'm sure they could come up with some type of internal system that cradles and cushions the knee cap area.
