Price of goaltending equipment?
Alright, so come summer time, I plan to work my butt off and buy a set of goalie equipment for ice hockey. This is what I would need:
Helmet
Glove
Blocker
Pads
Stick
Goalie pants
Body pads
Jock
Goalie skates
Neck guard
Shin pads
Any other protective goalie equipment for ice hockey i may be forgetting
If any current/former ice hockey goalies or anyone who know about this stuff could tell me how much money in total they spent on their equipment, that'd be all I need, thanks!
Mask (helmet): $150-$300 and up
Catch: $150-$250
Blocker: $100-$200
Sticks: $70-$140 ea (have at least 2-3, unfortunately they can and do break)
Pants: $140-$300
Leg Pads: $500-$1500
Chest/Arm protector: $150-$300
Jock: $$50-100
Skates: $150-$400
Neck Guard/Collar: $20-$40
Other items:
Tape- white tape for the knob of your stick, and (depending on your preference) either white or black tape for the blade.
Water bottle- I prefer the tall/skinny kind rather than the hand grenade size (easier to hold) that you can squeeze so no hard plastic. The Gatorade bottles the NHL goalies all use work great (they cost $2.00).
You'll also need an equipment bag- trust me- get one with wheels (I have a Vaughn bag that ran about $100 that holds everything). Get the biggest size they make; it'll hold everything and make going from car to rink that much easier.
A few things I'd have in my bag at all times:
-extra pair of laces (either for skates or for tie-downs for your leg pads)
-screwdriver
-chamois cloth to wipe blades down
-extra practice jersey
-If your mask comes with two sweatbands, put the other sweatband in a ziploc bag
One other tip- get a wet bag to put all your wet stuff in (jock, socks, undershirt, skullcap/headhand/doo-rag, jersey); makes it easy for laundry purposes and reduces likelihood of
My numbers are ranges depending on style, brand, and if you go high-end or low end.
A couple good websites for goalie equipment:
www.donsimmons.com (they ONLY do goalie equipment, and have a fantastic bulletin board- they have both their own brand as well as other brands)
www.goaliemonkey.com (good for closeouts)
Good luck!
