ice hockey goalie equipment sets

How much should i expect to pay for used ice hockey goalie equipment?

Im just starting hockey and i really want to play hockey, i dont plan on being very serious about hockey, not going anywhere past the house level and going to open hockey with my friends. I wouldnt mind using gear thats used and a few years old because i dont need the top of the line stuff. What should i expect to pay for a set of goalie pads like this?

I can't tell you how much to pay as people will sell you different things for different prices but here's what to look for.

First make sure you know your measurements mainly your at the knee.

Then figure who you will be playing against, because even in house leagues some guys can shoot the puck.

You'll get what you pay for, spending the extra hundred dollars or so now will save you lots of bruises and aches later on.

Make sure the gear isn't worn down and still have all the pieces and padding where needed.

You don't need to necessarily get the biggest name brand equipment (ie. Bauer, Vaughn, Reebok) but make sure you know of the manufacture and check them out. Some smaller brand but very good equipment is Simmons, GOI, Battram all make good gear at lower prices.
