I am in the process of getting equipment I was wondering if I should get all new equipment or if getting something like used pads would work? I don't have a boatload of money to spend trying to get everything for 1500 or less. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Returning2MyNet Minors Joined: 09 Mar 2009 Posts: 379 Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 11:40 am    Post subject: 1500. that is reasonable herres an idea shoping list mask http://www.goaliemonkey.com/itech-goalie-masks-profile2500ace.html $159 =1341 Skates http://www.goaliemonkey.com/ccm-goalie-skate-v04-se-sr.html $199 =$1142 Pant http://www.goaliemonkey.com/itech-goalie-pants-elite-sr.html $89.98 =$1052 Chest http://www.goaliemonkey.com/koho-goalie-chest-protector-700-pro.html $229 =$823 Jock http://www.goaliemonkey.com/vaughn-goalie-jock-velocity-7500.html $60 =$763 now for the pads and gloves combo set of vaugh vintages at GM http://www.goaliemonkey.com/vaughn-goalie-equipment-combo-vintage-sr.html $649 $114 left over Option 2 I would go with these leg pads from DS [url][/url]http://www.donsimmons.com/ice_hockey_goalie_equipment_item.php?id=890&menu=pro[url] $699 =64 and get some GM clearance gloves and come in a tad over budget[/url] _________________ Heyzeus1631 Squirt Joined: 27 Mar 2010 Posts: 4 Location: MN Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 3:16 pm    Post subject: Thank you very much for the list Returning2MyNet Minors Joined: 09 Mar 2009 Posts: 379 Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 1:42 am    Post subject: no problewm, no go spend some money and start playing. on the list I tried to get you stuff with good sizing availability need any help ask. _________________ Heyzeus1631 Squirt Joined: 27 Mar 2010 Posts: 4 Location: MN Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 11:49 pm    Post subject: Yeah unfortunately I am going to have to piece my gear together over the next few weeks as money comes available.

I encourage you to get into a store and try on skates, wides and regular sizes and get the right fit, and get to public skates. Where you would be able to work on some crease movements. I also say go to a book store and invest 15 bucks on a juggling set it will improve your eye hand coordination rapidly, a jump rope and some racket balls to play wall ball. what size pads do you need? whats your ankle to knee measurement? _________________ Heyzeus1631 Squirt Joined: 27 Mar 2010 Posts: 4 Location: MN Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:42 am    Post subject: Yeah I am going to have to get fitted for skates some where because I have very wide feet. My atk is about 16 and a quarter so I think i am going to go with some 32s or 33s. I will prob go get a juggling set or something I have been going to the tennis courts and throwing the ball at the practice wall and catching it to help my hand eye coordination a little bit so I think i will be ok to start.
