Hey, I need goalie skates for tonight as I start goalie training (im beginner goalie but I play alot of hockey as a player). Ive tried play it again sports on dixie/cawthra.. nothing.. sport chek by square 1.. nothing... and I really mean nothing.. no senior goalie skates... And then I tried by mavis/brittania.. they got ccm tacks 650 for $239... cant spend that.. then national sports has bauer whatever its called for $239.. jeez anyone know where to get some decent goalie skates? I need them tonight lol.. before 8pm.. (no comments about last minute as I only found out right now )..
I know alot about regular skates.. but nothing about goalie skates so im assuming that ccm is wider than bauer.. like normal..
Oh and I tried dukes on bloor... closed on wednesdays

there was a place in port credit that sold used skates...they had nuff senior goalie skates

and 239 isnt alot of money considering a nice pair of normal skates are double that

yeah true.. but im beginner goalie so i didnt want to spend that much.. lol maybe ill have to.

have you ever wore goalie skates? despite the extra plastic they are cut differntly and very difficult to skate on if you are use to normal hockey skates.

RRspex.. its all about foot protection.. if you were to take a shot in the foot with regular hockey skates on you would have a broken foot..
Also the way the blade is sharpened is different, goalies dont move side to side and dont need much of an edge.

goalie skates are lower too

goalie skates have a straight pointed blade compared to a players rounded edge blade...if you've never used them before...have fun....I played goal for 10+yrs, was 2nd or 3rd fastest skater on the team, threw on players skates and get lapped by 7yr olds! 2 completely different skates
