help a noob out.

for gloves i would look at any glove in the vapor series, basically from the V to the XXX, i haven't seen any of them fall apart, very nice gloves and the lower end ones are quite cheap.

Ill tell you my favourtie pants, light as hell, mission m-2s. Only $35-40. Gloves would be the nike bauer one 50s or 90s. one 50s are $45 while 90s are $110. One piece stick like the rbk 7k get a good flexed one and if you need 100 flex buy a 85 flex one(regular) cuz if you cut 2-3 inches off its lighter and 95-100 flex. Im only 5"9.5 and the stick is for a 6"1 person but it is a great stick and cost about 70 bucks but i saw it on sale for 48 bucks at sportchek. It was 250 then 150 then 100 then 85. lol. Warrior Royale stick is sweet also great shooter stick.

warrior gloves rock aslo. even the dolomites

-skates would be NBH, Grafs, Easton or ccm. Id say vector 6.0.

BY THE WAY GO FOR FEEL and COMFORT before you decide. This is only if you like my suggestions. By the way rbk and ccm gloves suck ass. bulky

Well I appreciate all the advice. For today I ended up with:

helmet - Nike Bauer 3500 (w/full cage)

elbow pads - easton stealth s5

shin guards - Rbk 5k

Skates - Nike Bauer Vapor XXII

Still need pants and a stick before I can do a stick & puck or whatever. No rush though, I still need to practice my skating.
