Editors Note:

These items do not represent the entire 2011 catalog.

We picked products that were visually stunning, higher end, or both.

The only equipment Battle Lax appears to be missing are their top level arm protection units and maybe another shoulder pad unit.

Now…to what’s really good.

Remember at the start of this ballad when we said Warrior had set a course out of the murky waters of the Terrible Product Name Ocean?

Yeah. Didn’t happen.

What do we think?

• If that goalie equipment had been out when we were first picking up the game, we definitely would have found a spot between the pipes. The BuzzKill chest protector makes IronMan look naked.
• Thrilled Warrior decided to make goalie specific gloves again. They need a special glove beyond two pieces of plastic stapled to the thumbs.
• Curious to see if the Electrick gloves are lighter than the Brine Silos.
• So what you want about their product names, and you know we’re front and center of that mockery, the MacDaddy glove looks fantastic. Thank you for bailing on the obsession with white if only in one top of the line glove. Those yellow models are the finest stock gloves we’ve ever seen. Pittsburgh bias or not.
• They are doing some inventive things with the color schemes for the chest and goalie pads. No one is going to see them. Why not go nuts?
• Visually, this was a seriously good harvest out of Michigan.
