there was a store on Ebay in Toronto that had some really good prices on goalie equipment, same with a guy in Quebec I bought off him twice and amazing service (also free shipping on some items within Canada). I just bought a new pair of RBK 5k goalie pads from the guy in Quebec above for $454.00 total including shipping and taxes, I phoned every store in the city to carry RBK gear and all wanted $550+
on a side note to this most of the places I phoned the people i talked to seemed un-interested in actually helping me with my questions, but when I phoned the hockey shop (
www.thehockeyshop.com) they are in B.C. the guy told me that if that was the total cost of the pads I should take'em because I wasn't going to get a better deal anywhere else. Same sort of service when I phoned Toronto the guy I talked to told me that the first pair of pads i was looking at weren't of the best quality and he recomended either RBK's or Sherwood's.
