Hockey is one of the most popular contact games played in the US and other side of world http://www.bostonbruinsteamstore.com/adidas-jaromir-jagr-jersey , probably next only to soccer and rugby. There are more than a few versions of hockey played such as field, inline, rink and ice hockey. All use particular gear and equipment.
The basic apparatus of hockey is a stick, which may be about three feet long. Hockey sticks are round and generally made of wood sheltered with fiberglass; aluminum sticks are also used and both varieties feature suede and rubber grips. Field hockey sticks have hooked bases, which are rounded at one end and flat at the other to correctly smack the ball into the goal. Ice hockey and inline hockey sticks have broader bases and most are considered for right-handed players. Holding hockey stick the upper portion of the stick with your left hand and the lower portion with your right, the base curves forward, forming a shallow scoop for catching and guiding the puck.

In hockey uses a molded plastic ball and ice hockey, inline hockey use hard vulcanized rubber discs called pucks. Both hockey balls are sized according to hockey associations. The objective of any version of hockey is to guide the ball and puck towards the goal net. Goal nets are made of by steel frames and have durable synthetic nylon nets.
Protective equipment and team jerseys are just as important as the skates or footwear, the stick and the puck. Protective hockey equipment is comprised of a chest protector, a helmet, large padded shorts, shin pads, a neck protector, and other gear. Make sure you use all protective equipment whenever you play hockey. Some pick-up games of hockey are not played with protective equipments, but safety should come first.
Hockey is a collision sport and injuries do happen. But with certified, quality, well-fitting gear, the frequency and severity of these injuries can be decreased.
Helmets and Facemasks

Mostly hockey injuries happen to the head and face. Lacerations (cuts) to the head and face, along with concussions, have been minimized by the mandatory wearing of helmets and face masks at most levels of play. In youth, high school, and college hockey, helmets and facemasks are mandatory.
When buying a helmet, make sure it fits snugly. Look for helmets with the seal of approval either from the HECC (Hockey Equipment Certification Council)



Gloves and Elbow Pads
Your gloves must give maximum protection without affecting your grip. The thumb, the palm, and the cuff of the wrist are regularly hit by opposing players' sticks. Buy gloves with maximum protection over the thumb. Make sure the palm of the glove is smooth, so you can feel the stick in your hand. The cuff of the glove should be elastic but still offer protection. And certain the laces of the gloves are always tied and in good condition, your elbow pads fit well and cover the sides and the back part of the elbow.
Leg Guards

Better leg guards have a knee cup pad, twist padding to cover the sides of the knee, and wide side flaps. Make sure they are not too large and the length is correct.

It?s a car; it?s not a plane. It is Chevrolet Corvette Waldorf Nomad. The car which never got to production has toured as part of General Motor?s 1954 Motorama lineup.
The Waldorf was showcased in Goodguys Nationals meet held in Columbus, Ohio. Those who saw the station wagon rebuilt were heard exclaiming, ?Dude, I don?t what that is, but it?s awesome!? and ?Okay, I give up. What is it??
GM is said to have no intention of producing this 1954 Commemorative Edition Station Wagon.
Steve Pasteiner, former Buick design chief, supported by his son Steven are the makers of the car. The car is offered by Advanced Automotive Technologies (AAT), a Rochester Hills, Michigan-based design company. It?s the same company that built the C5 Corvette-based 1953 Commemorative Edition convertible, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Corvette. When GM declined them after they asked it to deal the car , they offered it to the market on their own and since then they had delivered 175 units.
According to AAT, the remake is an offshoot of the 1953 project. The Waldorf Nomad is built on a 1997-2004 C5 Corvette coupe. This has been done by replacing the front with fiberglass body parts and the rear converted into a liftback station wagon. The same hinges, latches, and seals of the hatchback are used, only that the cover is squared off, as inspired by the Nomad.
There were other changes implemented on the recreation. The rear had the chrome strips down its back; the prominent tail lamps and side exit exhaust were carried over to the modern version. Its interior is basically C5, lending to its reliability and ease, only that AAT dipped the entire interior in torch red. The entire roofline and rear fascia were new moldings. The panel fit and finish are exceptional on the Commemorative Editions and the Sport Wagon. They were entirely created anew instead of reviving the parts of the original. The steering wheel and shifterbrake boots were courtesy of Vette Essentials.

To sum it up, it would cost $49,500 to convert. Added to that is the base C5 Corvette Coupe.
The original model of the car was rumored to be destroyed by General Motors during the early to late 50?s. The original Chevrolet Waldorf Nomad was first shown in Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, 1954. After receiving great reviews, the original Corvette-based car was produced as a full-sized 55 Chevy.
