ARIZONA COYOTES Connor Ingram game-used red Bauer Hyperlite leg pads/catcher/blocker 2023-24

This is a red Bauer Hyperlite leg pads, catcher and blocker set made for Arizona Coyotes goalie Connor Ingram to use in the 2023-24 NHL season before the team was sold and relocated to Utah. The set has some puck marks and was one of three different goalie sets that Ingram wore. This pair has INGRAM embroidered in white on each piece. The leg pairs are size L for large. They measure out to 35 +1 and they also have been initialed by NHL goalie compliance guru Kay Whitmore who wrote his KW to show that the gear has been OKed for league play. The items were obtained directly from the Coyotes in a recent bulk equipment buy.

The Bauer Vapor Hyperlite goalie set represents an advancement in weight reduction for Bauer's premium equipment. Succeeding the 2X Pro line, the Hyperlite series focuses on lightweight construction for enhanced agility and quicker reactions. It signifies a new era in goalie pad design, prioritizing mobility over bulk. Although it was the top-of-the-line at its launch, Bauer has since released the Hyperlite 2 and Ultrasonic line as their current flagship goalie equipment.

“

Just like with the Ultrasonic, how it has an integrated knee block to the core (which looks like a book and is attached to the inside of the pad), they made the same thing for the Hyperlite, but a little bit softer and a little bit more forgiving, this design is known as the Vapor Stabiliflex. The glove and blocker are also incredibly light, well broken in, and durable. Many professional players jumped into the Ultrasonic, but if they felt it was too stiff, they switched to a Hyperlite.
