[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS forgot to add, definitely get a good cup.  Nothing will kill a new goalie's enthusiasm for the position than a hard shot to the nuts.

You'll also need a throat protector, at this stage just get the kind you tie on to the helmet bars.  [/quote]

Mine is a high school junior.  There really isn't a stage where a tied on throat guard isn't as good (or better) than screwing it into the helmet.  We've found that when screwed in, the guard can come up and expose the throat, whereas tying allows more free movement.  [/quote]

I was just saying that the tie-on at this stage is a bit easier on the parent in terms of installing - the "real" throat protectors require you to drill holes into the helmet along the jawline.  Not impossible but I have to admit even at this stage (my son has been a goalie for about seven yrs now) I'm still paranoid I'm going to ruin a $300 helmet when I do it. Both protectors work well, it just seems the older guys get the less you see the tie-ons.  Maybe it's fashion to some extent.  [/quote]
