I rock an old Mission (Anson Carter style) and a Bauer 5000, and let me tell you, have I got a melon on these shoulders.

when i got it, i didn't have much of a choice. but if i were to get a new one now, i would probably get the 6k. fits about the same w/o the useless dial for my head and is cheaper too.

Hi everyone I am new here. Would have made a different thread rather then hijack this one but it would not let me do it (I guess because I am new).

Anyway I had a question about equipment.

To the point I wanted to see if anyone could tell me what the helmet brand is that Dan Cloutier wears (he used to wear a Copper SK 2000).
. I had asked one of the kings equipment guys before the season started and they said it was a custom helmet made for Dan. I know they said it was a local company who made it but I didn’t get the name. I wear a Copper SK 2000 helmet ( don’t like the fit of a mask) and I cant find a new one as they don’t make them anymore. I then found out about this special one made for him, So I am really trying to find out where I can get one like he has. Can Anyone help me out here???

Contact a few of the custom mask companies, I'm sure they could steer you in the right direction. Hassek has a custom one too.

I had a bauer 8000, that thing was really wide. Currently in a CCM Vector helmet, IMO best bang for your buck available hands down, I have more of a long head (front to back) versus wide but I really like this Vector helmet, its worth a try.
