For sale is a full set (pads, catch glove, and blocker) made for former great NHL goalie Ryan Miller.
The catcher and blocker gloves are signed off by K whitmore (please see pics of the tags).
Please see photos for best description.
On the pads, catcher, and blocker, Miller's name is embroidered (please see photos).
The catch glove is a Bauer Reflex, built by JRZ. It is signed-off by K. Whitmore.
The laces on the top of the glove are showing some wear. The glove is somewhat stiff, as it's built to repel NHL shots.
The blocker is a Bauer Reflex, built by JRZ. It is signed-off by K. Whitmore.
Palm is in good condition.
The pads are Bauer Vapor 37" plus, X60 pro (please see photos).
As you can see in the photo, the boot area front was accomidated for two straps.
However, on the back side of the boot, there is only one opening.
With many NHL goalies, they are given equipment to test out to see if they like it. In the case of this full setup, I believe (if I got the story correct from the owner who I am selling this set-up for), Ryan Miller tried these out in practice. It's pretty common for goalies to pass on gear after trying it, as they like what they have, or the piece of gear just wasn't exactly what they wanted.
So, this gear did not see NHL action, but was worn to road test.
So, they were returned. My friend, who tended goal at the time, was able to scoop them and wear them a few times himself before his retirement from stopping pucks.
He confirms that the boot area was sent to a goalie equipment specialist who re-worked the boot area, giving it a softer flex.
The gear is really nice! It was well-cared for and has so much life left in it.
Any questions, please feel free to mesage me here on Sidelineswap.
If I don't know the answer, I will contact the owner and return with a reply.
