Where can I buy ice (hockey) skates in San Diego?

Question

I tried the shops at Iceoplex Escondido and San Diego Ice Arena in Mira Mesa, and they didn't carry my size (men's 8.5). Is there anywhere else around to try? Sports shops around here don't carry hockey gear.

Answer 1

Here's an online shop that has nearly everything and gives San Diego residents the option of "Will Call" pick up at an Escondido location (so there are no shipping charges).

Ice Pros Sports

San Diego Ice Arena is one of the only SD rinks that have a proshop link on their website.  Strange, as they say they have a complete line of equipment and clothing.

I believe there's a Play It Again Sports (2nd hand) and Sports Authority out there, but those type of shops aren't the best places to get "good" equipment.

Answer 2

try going to a size bigger or smaller like a 8 or a 9

Answer 3

try to find on the internet some good shops for hockey skates (maybe in other towns)

Answer 4

I would call around to some other shops, I'm surprised that you are having such trouble finding hockey skates. Good luck!
