Where would you buy your equipment? I need skates,helmet,shoulder pads,elbo,knee,pants etc. for cheap, I dont want to buy expensive or used equipment.

How are mission ice hockey skates? fuel 65?
How about ccm pantera's??

like a 40 buck difference missions being more.

Im a newb to ice hockey, and havent played roller in 4-5 years.

Thanks,
Matt

i was always a fan of ccm skates. they have good ankle support and they last a long time.
the biggest thing about the equipment you buy is to get stuff that fits right. go someplace that is jsut about hockey, not a general sporting good sstore.

i cant go to pro shops.. they want 400 for the same skates i can buy online for $125 im allready paying 600 out of my pocket to play other 600 is outa my moms, and i gotta buy skates at least

I've skated mission roller hockey skates, never their ice skates though. I like them, very comfortable and very good support. I had a pair of Bauer roller hockey skates and loved them. I have skated both CCM and Bauer ice hockey skates, but they were rentals and pretty beat up. from what I can remember, I liked the bauers better.

I was happy with misions two, I have a skate in my room that are probably 6 years old and look decent, just dont fit...Im gonna order the skates and if they dont fit return them. and then if any one wants to go to woodbridge for a free skate id be down..

ive played hockey for like 10 yrs now from roller to ice. missions are crap, their boot is ****** and they just suck. id go with ccm super tacks if u wana spend that money. their light and have a well built boot.

also try hockeymonkey.com
and hockeygiant.com ive got alot of equipment from there and so has my brother, their very good
