Vaughn Legacy Pro Senior Goalie Equipment Combo – Limited Edition

Vaughn Legacy Pro Senior Goalie Leg Pads – Limited Edition

For the first time ever, a classic fake strap pad is available at the senior, intermediate, junior and youth price levels. This new exclusive series is now available at Goalies Plus.  This Legacy series is a new school pad with an old school look.  These designs are based off the some of the first goalies to introduce style to the goalie position.  Goalies like Andy Moog, Jon Casey, Jimmy Waite, Ron Hextall, Pete Peeters, Mike Richter & Bill Ranford are the inspirations for these designs.

Goalies Plus is also introducing a first time ever in the Vaughn retail pad sizing.  There will be a 31+2in. senior goalie pad in the Legacy line.  This is because the pad sizing has continued to increase and the goalies that traditional wore 32in pads can no longer fit this size.  By introducing a 31in. senior pad, it allows a shorter goalie to get a senior pad without having to an intermediate pad which is generally to narrow for that goalie.

Some specs for the Legacy Pro pads include a core that has been stiffened from the bottom of the knee to the top of the pad with a reinforced design that wraps around the top of the pad (versus just ending near the top of the pad).  This greatly stiffens the horizontal flex of the pad.  The Legacy did keep a pre-curved shape which allows for better butterfly coverage for goalies with narrower to medium width butterfly coverage.  The Legacy core is also thinned out compared to past Vaughn models.  The thinned-out thigh rise helps the goalie in their stance and skating techniques as there is less bulk in this area to interfere with the goalie’s movements.  The main emphasis on the new core – both in the shin area and the top of the pad is explosive rebounds.  This pad is built to compete with other brands with puck explosion off the face of the pad when making a save.

Moving to the knee area, the Legacy pad will have an integrated knee stack.  This means the knee stack is built into the core of the pad.  By doing this, it creates a much more stable effect on how the pad plays.  The pad is much less likely to over rotate or under rotate because of the integrated knee stack.  Also, the knee cradle area has been widened to accommodate any type of knee pad.  The knee stack strap now runs through the middle of the knee block (versus the outside of the block) which allows the goalie to get the elastic knee strap behind the knee much closer to the goalie’s knee – which than provides a more secure fit.  This strap adjustable so a goalie can make it as tight or as loose as they prefer.

The Legacy pad will have a 3-layer knee block design.  The two outer layers have a stiffer material, and the inner layer has a softer material.  This helps cushion the blow that a goalie takes every time they drop into the butterfly technique.  It may seem minor, but this can go a very long way to help goalies protect their bodies over a long season.

The calf cradle area of the Lagacy goalie leg pads will use the VX1 calf wrap design.  Today’s goalies want the pads to be secure to their legs more than in the past, The Legacy has a full wrap around inner calf wrap.  This inner calf wrap is integrated by two professor straps – one at the top of the calf and one at the bottom of the calf.  This inner calf wrap is completely adjustable to a goalie’s person preference.  This new inner calf strapping system allows the pad to be worm snug on the goalie’s legs (if preferred) but does not compromise pad rotation in any way.  The calf system is also designed with a thicker middle wrap to help distribute the goalie’s weight evenly along the lower leg while in the butterfly technique.

The Legacy pro pads will have a hydrophobic leg channel.  Often goalie pads will have nylon in the leg channel because it allows the pad to rotate better.  The hydrophobic material is a much higher quality material versus nylon and also allows for easy rotation of the leg pads in and out of the butterfly techniques.

The Vaughn Legacy will continue to use the Quick Slide material on the inner edges and wear areas.  The Quick Slide material is coated with powered glass which gives this material the best slide available in the goalie industry today.  The Quick Slide material makes bad third period ice feel like a fresh clean sheet of ice.

Lastly the Vaughn Legacy will have a hybrid skate lace toe tie system.  Since many goalies are going away from bungee toe ties because of performance issues, the new hybrid toe tie is a skate lace with Velcro connection pieces for an easy on and off attachment without losing the performance benefit.

Vaughn Legacy Pro Senior Goalie Catch Glove – Limited Edition

This classic T1000 inspired catch glove design is available at the senior, intermediate, junior and youth price levels. This new exclusive series is now available at Goalies Plus.  These designs are based off the some of the first goalies to introduce style to the goalie position.  Goalies like Andy Moog, Jon Casey, Jimmy Waite, Ron Hextall, Pete Peeters, Mike Richter & Bill Ranford are the inspirations for these designs.

The Legacy Pro catch glove is the 50-degree break.  The past generations of Velocity gloves were 60-degree breaks.  With the recent popularity of the “580” break, the new Legacy 50-degree break leans that way, although not to such an extreme as the 580. With the new Legacy Pro catch glove 50-degree break, this includes a molded one-piece palm.  Customers will notice immediately that this molded palm and 50-degree break allows the glove to feel broken in right off the shelf.  This design also provides added protection to the palm area and helps reduce palm stingers.

The T-Web of the Legacy catch glove has been widened by 1/2 inch versus past models.  This allows for a bigger catch pocket while also allowing the glove to open wider. The Legacy catch glove will also have a skate lace pocket.

The finger stalls of the Legacy catch glove have also been designed to allow for a more natural feel in the glove.  The wrist straps of the Legacy glove have been moved closer to the palm area of the hand.  This allows for a tighter fit with more wrist flexibility and mobility.

Vaughn has removed the two leather straps in the thumb area (most younger goalies had no idea why there was two leather straps sticking out the side of the thumb & pinky).  Vaughn has kept these two straps in the pinky area.  When you see these two leather straps sticking out the side of the pinky area. this is to adjust how wide or how narrow you want your pinky in the glove. Because of the new thumb molds, there is basically no movement available and therefore these straps where useless in the thumb area.

Vaughn Legacy Pro Senior Goalie Blocker – Limited Edition

For the first time ever, a classic waffle board designed blocker is available at the senior, intermediate, junior and youth price levels. This new exclusive series is now available at Goalies Plus.  These designs are based off the some of the first goalies to introduce style to the goalie position.  Goalies like Andy Moog, Jon Casey, Jimmy Waite, Ron Hextall, Pete Peeters, Mike Richter & Bill Ranford are the inspirations for these designs.

The Legacy Pro senior blocker takes up the maximum (8in. X 15in.) surface area under NHL, NCAA, USA Hockey, Hockey Canada and IIHF rules.

The blocker is also widened the cuff to allow for great wrist mobility.  Also, the Legacy has longer finger padding for extra protection.

The Legacy Pro blocker has a flat side wall.  The flat side wall provides more net coverage if a goalie turns their blocker hand over while making a save.  The sidewall has also been glues to the foam on the Legacy.  This eliminates any slack in the materials that has been a complaint on past models.

This Legacy blocker board uses high-density foams which gives the goalie an explosive rebound off the face of the blocker.

The Legacy Pro blocker can be used by both Hybrid and Butterfly style goalies because of the nature of the build.

Vaughn has also added more cushion on the back of the hand on the new Legacy blocker.  This helps present the blocker face more actively towards the shooter and create more comfort to the back of the blocker hand.
