I built a set of roller goalie skates and have 80mm (I think) wheels on them right now. They work alright, are comfy and don't hurt like hell when I get hit in the skate with the puck.

I just purchased the Tour Redline 5000 series skates and omg fallen in love! these skates have extra ankle support and have a goalie specific setup! i played in my first game sunday, and wow big difference! my butterflys were smoother and i felt like i was more like on ice than before. plus there so much lighter. yea all that and my ankles didn't give out or feel twisted! i also tried loosening up the heel strap on my xpulses, and that seemed to let my ankle naturally roll more, when i go down. i suppose it was all about my ankle giving out because it was being twisted in place (from a tight strap and no ankle support).
