Removed My Chest Plate off my CA

Im no expert but that sounds insane!
Did you you ever see what happened to Chris Pronger?

Chris Pronger was wearing shoulder protectors meant not to protect him from the puck but rather from bodily impact.

I've ALWAYS taken off the chest plate. I've always found them terribly annoying, and when the puck hits it, it always comes off weird since it's really hard foam/plastic. Can't feel or judge where the rebound will go. I first took it off on my old pro Brown (and, interestingly, recently sold the chest plate for like $40 on Ebay), and have since taken it off of a P1 and P2 pro, and I'm playing Adult Advanced and Adult "A" level hockey (mostly against old Juniors/College players, with a few ex pros mixed in). I have a Simmons M4 coming, and I'll consider taking it off of that one, too.

Can you sew it in on the inside?

I think you could sew it inside if needed but what prompted me to finally say enough of the weird angles pucks come off it and it getting caught up on the shoulder floaters, was seeing the Kelly Hrudey pro return.
It is a brown with no chest plate, in the late 80's 90's they didnt have them and he survived the NHL.
the blocks feel solid so i am going with out . If i get some chest stingers i will add it back but make it smaller. the one on the 2200 is huge
from the neck almost to the belly button.
and it just seems like overkill.

with Syn, playing against the same level guys i am with no problem that makes me more comfortable with my decision.
Thanks
Cheers

I see what you are saying and im sure it is fine. Im just not one to remove safety equipment, after all im not going to make it in to the pro's at this point.

I figured the same thing as Jim: for years and years and years guys didn't wear chest protectors with these extra heart guards. I don't doubt it's SAFER with the heart guard, but I don't necessarily feel any more unsafe without it. Seems like a contradiction, but it's kind of akin to if you wore a big piece of concrete in front of you: you'd be safer wearing concrete, but you're also perfectly safe without the concrete.

I, like Jim, felt the weird bounces off the heart guard wasn't worth the extra protection.

Well I've got a guy on my team that can fire it 96MPH. I'm not willing to risk there's guys out there on other teams that can shoot harder.

Depends on what kind of 96 it is. I've faced guys who I have little doubt can hit 90s but it feels like a 50 mph snap shot.. just no real power behind it. Then I've faced those guys with 60 mph wrist shots but it feels like a 90 mph slapshot.. just a real heavy shot that's deceptively powerful. I do hate feeling those heavy shots right in the chest, but most often the guys with those shots are good enough not to aim right at me, haha.
