Goalies could use cut-resistant protection too!
We've seen it time and time again. It's the goalmouth scramble. The overzealous forwards rushing in for their split-second chance for glory. With hearts pumping, tensions rising... bodies bumping, blades, sticks and players collide. Defenders resisting at all cost, there's little room for error.
One last jab towards the goalie frees the puck and with lightning speed he dives for it, leaving him sprawled out prone to the ice. The defense begin leveling players with precision and at this point he becomes vulnerable. With bodies and skate blades flying the potential for serious injury just got bigger.
This scenario is played out numerous times throughout the hockey season. The goalmouth scramble naturally lends itself to a higher amount of players playing within a more confined space on the ice. The heightened sense of urgency and aggressive play during the scramble can potentially put those in proximity at risk to being cut by a skate blade.
Play Smart....Protect yourself from CUTS!!
XH Series ACHILLES® cut-resistant underwear has been designed for
goalies, but may also be worn by any player wanting more protection from
skate cuts.

ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie/player underwear with HPPE "I've been using the Achilles Cut-Resistant Goalie Underweat for a month now,
it's flawless! The underwear provides me the same quality (flexibility and
breathability) I used to know with my other spandex pants, but with even more
protection. When I watch the back of my leg with the pads on, I can see that my
leg is very well protected, and I feel safe when it's time to play. I hope to
never find out if they could save me from an injury, but I am sure that if that
was the case, they would. I won't wear anything else by now and I recommand that
product for every goaltender. The customer service was awesome. As I live in
Europe, everything was made to help me from the beginning with my questions to
the end with the delivery. I couldn't be more happy about it! Thank you for
a great product and for an awesome service!"

"Coming into my first year of pro, I spent the off-season taking care
of all of the smallest details, on and off the ice to prepare myself
best. What I failed to realize at the time is that one freak incident
can take all of your hard work and mental preparation and in one instant
take away a season and possibly your career. I have already seen the
after effects of two incidents already this season, both wrist and
Achilles. I am thankful that after the first I spent what is ultimately
an insignificant cost for piece of mind and safety on the ice and I
would not step foot on the ice again without my Hogan Hockey Kevlar®
compression pants."(XH SERIES ACHILLES® Goalie/Player Underwear)
Rob Madore - Goaltender - Charlotte Checkers (AHL) Florida Everblades (ECHL)
"I started using the XH Series ACHILLES Cut-Resistant Goalie
Underwear and Socks in 2010. There is no sacrifice for the right
protection. And with the way the game is played nowadays, you need to
be protected against skate cuts from goal mouth scrums and forwards
driving the net. Hogan Hockey's products have given me the piece of
mind to maintain the aggressive style of play that allows me to be
successful. I am no longer worried about sticking my legs into high
traffic areas where skate cuts most often occur. Out of the box, the
underwear and socks were the most comfortable I've ever worn. In two
seasons, the ACHILLES® products have saved me from injury on a number of
occasions. They have offered me the level of protection, comfort, and
performance that I needed to help me excel at the collegiate level. I
wouldn't wear anything else. I recommend all goaltenders do the same."

"I've had our goaltenders wear Hogan Hockey protective underwear and
socks ever since one of our former Bulldog goaltenders, Alex Stalock,
nearly had his career cut short due to a laceration to the back of his
leg during an A.H.L. game three seasons ago. Every goalie in our program
has worn the protective underwear since the injury to Alex and with no
complaints! The underwear isn't heavy and it wicks away sweat like any
other performance underwear along with protecting them in those highly
prone, exposed areas of the legs. It gives the player a "piece of mind"
that those exposed areas are always protected!"
Chris Garner, Equipment Manager, University Minnesota Duluth
2011 NCAA National Champions
"The Hogan Hockey ACHILLES® underwear provide the same level of
flexibility and breathability as my old spandex pants. With Hogan Hockey
products I'm much more protected from the threat of being cut, it's my
first and final line of trusted defense."
Cody Reichard
Former goaltender Miami Redhawks
University of Miami (Ohio)
"I've been using the product for the last couple of weeks here at
Shattuck and have really enjoyed the comfort of it. It is keeping my
legs dry and it is keeping them cool at the same time. It also is giving
me a peace of mind of not getting cut while playing goal."
