What type of skates, stick and helmet do you use?: I use CCM Jetspeed FT790 skates, due to them being the best for me in both fit and price, since gear can get expensive. I currently am using a Sherwood Rekker Legend Pro stick. Last season I had broken four sticks each in the $400 price range, and my current stick had only cost $200. It has the same performance as the more expensive, bigger-name brand sticks — and I’m yet to break one this year. I use a CCM Tacks 720 helmet, because it fits my head shape best.
