equipment for small kids?

[Grave77Digger 1]

If anyone knows of a good place other than ebay to find nice gear (pants, pads, etc)for small kids (3-4 years old) let me know where to look. There was a nice pair of Tackla pants on ebay for 19.99 but the shipping was over $20 canadien.

Any respectable LHS should have plenty of things for you to chose from. It shouldn't cost that much to fit a kid that age but if you still want to save a few dollars check your local rink to see if they have a equipment swap or gear exchange. Most of the items you may find will still be in good shape. Kids at that age outgrow everything well before it gets worn out.

My old shop in Lancaster should be able to hook you up. I don't care for my old partner or his new employees but at least he learned that you stock stuff for the little guys. The other shops in the area feature a lot of high end gear but carry very little in the way of intro level stuff. Barring that, check out the Play it again on linglestown road or the one in Lancaster.

I know that it sounds like crappy advice, but seriously check out Canadian Tire. They sell a complete set in a box (ie all CCM equipment or all Nike/Bauer) for around $100. Includes shins, pants, elbow pads, shoulder pads and gloves. You get helmet and skates seperately.

It is a much better deal for these little guys than it is if you buy the pieces individually.

One other thought, if you know anyone with a kid that is a year

or two older. they will have outgrown their starter set, and honestly, at 3 or 4 years old, they don't wear anything out before they outgrow it.

Youth Package on Ebay

This is my listing. To give you a better idea on sizing, my daughter is nine. She weighs 63 lbs. The shoulder pads are waaaay to small for her, and the pants are snug. What age group are you looking for? If you are interested in this auction, I will end it now and sell you everything for 25.00 Shipped to the USA, and will split the shipping cost to you, if you are in Canada.

Thanks,

Sean

They are the closest thing I have to a LHS, and the packages are pretty decent.

Irish, I will take a look when i get home from work. cant acces ebay for some strange reason here

My son is going to be 3 years old and im looking for some stuff he can play around with at home and can grow into over the next year. Hes a pretty big boy with a 21" waist. Even if I can find stuff that is big on him that would be ok.

That's what I'd say. It's not like little kids wear anything out, or sweat much in their equipment.

We do an Easton S1 and a Vector 10.0 pad package for $99.99. Includes a bag. It's the same package as PIAS's. You should be able to find the same package there.
