Have you tried looking in the classified section of your local paper. They usually have a section for sports equipment. \n\nFreecycle is also an option, although in my experience people don't respond to the wanted ads quite as much as the offers. \n\nHere is the link: http://www.thomsonlocal.com/\n\nAnother alternative is finding out which auctions run in your area. In my area there are auctions of gym contents fairly regularly (I think they must go bust alot), you can pick up some pretty high tech equipment really cheaply. \n\nTry looking up auctioneers in your area in the Thompson directory, or your local paper may have a weekly auctions feature as mine does.

I don't know what this has to do with hockey, but I bought mine at ebags.com -- they have a great selection.

Sorry but I dont live in Ontario so I don't know any shops there. Try big named Sports shops that sell sports gear and equipment. They definetly will have some Beckham jerseys, that are NOT fake! If you want to purchase online, try Ebay, but you may not actually get what you really wanted...eg. you might recieved a fake jersey that was labeled "real". \n\nGood Luck.

www.hockeymonkey.com \n\nI know they have an actual store somewhere in California (I know it doesn't help that much).  But anytime I need to order something, they seem to have it reasonably priced.

They still sell those. Any sporting goods store should have them. Walmart or Target or whatnot should have cheaper versions.

Unfortunately for us goalies, not all manufacturers make equipment in standard sizes. Not to worry, though, you can still make sure your gear fits and buy it online. I've bought all of my stuff online for years and received almost none that didn't fit.\n\nFirst, look up the model you are interested in on the maker's website and a few retail websites as well (I like cyclonetaylor.com the best for my gear). Next, compare what they list for the actual sizes of the equipment to the size you need (always measure yourself-it's the only way to truly know your size). For the chest protector, you need to measure the length from your neck to your waist, the circumference of your waist, and the circumference of your chest. Finally, decide what size you need from the manufacturer's dimensions (in other words, find the chest protector that most closely matches your measurements, regardless of what they call the size).\n\nSome websites, like www.vaughnhockey.com, have instructions for measuring yourself and fitting your equipment. I would suggest you have a close look and learn as much as you can about how they size their equipment. You are very correct that Vaughn equipment is usually larger than others - their 36" leg pad, for example, is shorter than Itech's, because they measure the leg differently.\n\nAs a final tip, as long as your chest protector can be adjusted to fit your arms and chest properly, you can have a good equipment guy at your local hockey shop trim and sew the bottom to fit the length you need. Good luck - hope this helps.

check ebay or your local newspapers in the for sale ads. I live in MI and we have a store called "play it again sports" locate a store like that around you. They sell lightly used sporting goods real cheap.

Go to Predators Store link - probably have jerseys in there. If not, I am sure there is some kind of contact link so you can get in touch with someone to ask. Not sure if the TD Waterhouse Centre (or Orlando Centroplex) has a store on their website - that might be a good place to check also.

you might want to go during the summer to a ski shop. they will have boards that they demoed last year in good condition and good quality for cheap prices. also you might want to get last years modle. i got $1100 skis for $400 and they were really nice. you would also want to get last years modle for boots. that doesn't mean there bad the ski shop just wants to get rid of them. you might want to go to a ski swap because that stuff is usually good. if you need to you might want to use ebay but im not sure the security of that. good luck finding the gear!

My suggestion is go cheap on the other gear but don't go too low on price on the head of the stick.  It's very important.  I've been playing for years and would have to say I could look like a beginner if I had the wrong stick in my hand.   On the other hand, if you have a good stick that is done right and throws right you'll like a lot better to start!\n\nBasically, don't just buy one pre-strung and try to make it work.  Find a veteran player willing to string it up for you (or a small store nearby that offers the service) and it will make a world of difference for you.\n\nI use a proton + with a mesh pocket that's a mix between hard and soft.  The mesh separate is only $10 and you could use hockey laces to string up the sidewalls (won't break like the string you would normally use) or buy a separate stringing kit.   \n\nBy not going cheap on the stick you'll end up enjoying the sport more and in the long run you'll be much happier.  Keep in mind that if you buy a titanium shaft (or another type of shaft as strong) it could last for years and it will give better results because it's lighter than the less expensive and easily breakable aluminum shaft.  \n\nFeel free to e-mail me if you have trouble finding the right mesh or have any other questions. \n\nGood luck and you found the best sport there is!
