Question

WhWhere is the best place or website to buy ice hockey equipment for kids?

Answer 1

My advice is never buy online unless you have already tried on the equipment elsewhere and know its what your kid wants. I've played competitive hockey for 16 years and the feel of the equipment is always the most important aspect. It can be great quality and the right size but if the equipment isn't comfortable or doesn't have that right feel i would never buy it. I'd try a local store i find the service at small stores is always better and the prices are usually very competitive if not try a bigger store like sportcheck.

Answer 2

in my opinion the best place is hockeygiant.com  their collection is great and the prices are good

Answer 3

Ocean Ice Palace in Bricktown NJ is a great place.

www.hockeymonkey.com

Answer 6

Depends on your location and budget.

If it fits, is safe and sanitised the rink is likely to have used gear.

Kids outgrow gear so quickly it's hard for many hockey parents to justify buying new gear year after year.

Play it Again Sports has a consignment program, but you could also seek out "ads" of gear for sale at the rink.

Ebay or Craig's List can work well too if you know what sizes you need but like I said earlier kids outgrow stuff so quick it's best to have your munchkin try it on themselves

Answer 7

The best place is going to a local sporting goods store or a ice rink with a pro shop. I have bought some equipment on line and they do not always fit my son as well if he tried it on.

Answer 8

Well depending on where you live, Cyclone Taylors always has great deals on gear, and also www.hockeymonkey.com, I have purchased most of my gear from these to places, Good Luck
