About St. Louis Blues Equipment
The St Louis Blues have been down and out many times but have refused to be written off. They keep returning with fervor in spite of the odds against them. This is clearly seen in their achievement of having appeared in the playoffs in all years from 1980 to 2004.
Founded in 1967, the St Louis hockey team had to first do without star players, thanks to the rules of the hockey league. However, this did not stop the team from having players who proved themselves over time. For instance, reviewers say that Red Berenson was the first player of St Louis who found his own place among famous performers of the game. You can find many items relating to the players on the web site.
Some enthusiasts remember the first
St Louis Blues team as aggressive and efficient, mainly because as chronicled, the players felt indebted to their owners, Sid Salomon Jr and his son Sid Salomon III.
Glenn Hall is recorded to have expressed this sentiment, saying the team had to just go out there and play well for their owners every night.
Most of the equipment used by ice hockey teams is for protection. This includes pads for the shoulder, elbow, knees, shin, and guards for neck, mouth and helmets. There is also heavy padding the chest area and thus, in a way, the entire body is covered. Other equipment includes skates, sticks and pucks. Goaltender equipment is different from the others.

Mike Liut of the Blues.
