Default Those undershirts NHLers wear

Hey guys,

I am trying to find those shirts with the padded elbows that players wear under their equipment. You sometimes see NHLers wearing them during their post game interviews. Just wondering if anybody knew what they were called.

Thanks

I know a lot of the guys like Dion wear Under Armour... I'm guessing they have a hockey line with the padded elbows??

You're probably thinking of the Nike Dri Fit long sleeve base layer shirt. It doesn't have pads in it but it has a rubber pattern screened on the elbows to help keep your elbow pads in place.

For the record it was "Nike Pro Vent Assymetrical Tight Crew". Now I just have to find somewhere to buy it online. You would think they would want to sell their product from their webpage, but NOOOOOOO....

that Nike website is awful. All look, no content. I've been into rollerhockey for about 6 years now, and their Bauer affiliate just has player endorsements as an intro...no product info on that site regarding Roller skates they make themselves. Just pathetic considering they probably make the best hockey rollerskates in the biz, but have no description on their website of having them, along with other products, in existence.

If you want to look like an old school NHL player buy one of those light blue undershirts that players wear.

Sportcheck carries the Under Armour and Nike shirts. Not sure if they have all models though.

I think I paid just over $50 for mine. Since then I've become a much better player.


Actually, the material is pretty good at wicking sweat off your body. Feels a lot better than the old soaked t-shirt.
