MVP Sports
(Potsdam) lots of pressure to buy, equip is typically over priced.

Notes:

If you know skate size that you need, Amazon or Ebay have been a good source of new skates, and if you know size/brand, pretty easy to find good deals.

Notes:

Sportchek in Canada has good prices on skates typically. Liam's last pair was $50 on best online price, but was $50 CAD @ Sportchek (lower level youth skates, CCM). We also got some really nice elbow pads there.

It is also a great place to try things on without a ton of pressure (like MVP in Potsdam, where they hover over you trying to make the sale for their over priced gear).

Notes:

Clearance Gear (typically sold at end of typical hockey season) is best time to order next few sizes of things like Shin Guards, elbow pads, gloves if a good deal.
