The most obvious changes in the goalie equipment is that since around the 80's, hockey companies have been using synthetic materials. Pleather is now being used for catch gloves, blockers, and leg pads; Mesh and plastic are being used for chest protectors. There were also changes to the amount of padding in the gloves, chest protectors and blockers. Because of this, USA Hockey made certain regulations to the amount of padding allowed on each of these articles of equipment because "it takes away the spirit of hockey".

How did Ryan Miller become a goalie?
Ryan Miller became a goalie in the early stages of his life. In a little league championship game he was playing center but asked his father (the coach) if he could play goalie, his dad said " Ryan, you can play goalie if you tie this game" the score was 3-1 in the second and yes Ryan scored to goals to even the score at 3. His dad then put him in net and Ryan's team went on to win 4-3 in overtime.
