Try a thousand just on pads. I used half my brother's equipment just to try at first at goalie school to see if I liked the position. Don't go and spend hundreds of dollars when you're a beginner. Definitely get used! But buy locally so you can try it on. If you don't have a lot of money find an equipment exchange program in your area.

You call yourself "smart person", have a walk through a sporting goods store and look at the pads and gloves alone. For new ones you're already over a grand. Think used and visit rinks around your area as there are always people trying to sell used goalie equipment and they tack up notices inside rinks. That's your best bet.

Ive been a goalie for 12 years now and trying to find quality equipment for under 1000 is going to be really hard to find. The problem with used stuff is your not sure how protective it really is until you get hit with a puck . . . for a brand Ive used vaughn my whole life and they have never let me down . . . but vaughn isnt a Canadian company so I dont know how hard it would be to find vaughn equipment in Canada.

Every area has a freecycle where people give stuff away, It's not likely you'll get all the equipment from one source, but hey, its free.
Play-it -again sports has decent used stuff at a reasonable price. Prices vary with condition of the goods.
Or, try putting an ad up at the local arena.

Sports To Go........company.
Play it again sports..company
The people there will tell you everything you need to know.
Hockey equipment is very expensive......most people shop there.
cheapest prices and you can exchange the goods.. New equipment will cost you at LEAST around $2,000.....there is no need for it. Really !
Alternatively you can try Fijiji Canada and the town you are living in of course.

if your a beginner and you spent $1000 then your an idiot.
they have amateur equipment for like 200-300
or you can buy used stuff, buying used stuff is the BEST idea for a beginner, you dont have to break anything in, so you can start your real practise right away.

I bought a used set after not playing for 9 years and found I am not as good as I was. I am trying to sell the set
I just bought. What are your sizes and maybe we can work out some prices. e-mail me.

Try www.freecycle.org , you could also try putting a "wanted" ad in your local newspaper. Some cities have consignment sales shops for sports equipment (where people will bring their old equipment to resale)
Good luck!

GOOD LUCK!!!!! Buying online gets you a bargain, but you dont know how things will fit, their actual condition, and you end up with junk equipment. If your serious about it, shop around, get fitted, and dont buy something because it looks good.
