Good guys but their equipment selection is limited and usually only smaller brands (Balistik, Farrell, Harrow, etc.), their skate selection is pretty much 100% Graf.Wonderland Sports is seriously overpriced and has somewhat limited inventory mostly because its a small location. If you're going to go that route you're better off going to their main location in Brooklyn.Cosby's is old school, haven't been inside in a while so I can't comment on their selection or inventory.Paragon is a general sports store. Their hockey section is ok, not great, and generally mid-range pieces not top-end. They do seem to have a decent array of skates, but you never know what is and isn't in stock.NHL Store has no equipment but plenty of NHL merchandise.

andysly 1 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 Don't bother with Cosby's. I stopped in a few weeks ago and was majorly disappointed. No more equipment like they used ot have back in the MSG days. Now they have mostly jerseys and a few sticks that are about 50% more expensive than any other retailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_tnt 6 Report post Posted April 12, 2009 Hey sorry guys it seems i abandoned this thread, I am in NY right now and went to paragon sports, basically had no kit whatsoever.Im going to head down to Wonderland at Chelsea Pier tomorrow, hopefully they have some decent selection of gloves. Anyone know anything about this place e.g prices, selection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deerok 3 Report post Posted April 12, 2009 I play at Chelsea Piers on a regular basis; the store is decently stocked (considering how small it is). The prices are not great...everything retail. I guess that is a matter of opinion, depending on what prices are like where you live.As everyone has mentioned before, there is not much in the way of good hockey stores in Manhattan itself.

Jamie_tnt 6 Report post Posted April 12, 2009 Can anyone reccomend me the retail price for some mid level CCM (vector 6), RBk or Easton gloves.
