There are several hockey-specific stores in Denver that are the best experience for trying on equipment and skates with someone to walk you through it.
Play It Again Sports in Grand Junction has a limited selection of used and new equipment.
Replay Sports here in Glenwood/Aspen and Ragged Mountain sometimes have hockey equipment.
Does GSYHA have gear we can use?
GSYHA has a limited gear library meant for Try Hockey for Free events and NEW players who temporarily need to borrow gear or can't spend the money all in one place - we get it!
You must have a neck guard, mouth guard, undergarments, and jock/jill with sock suspenders.
It's highly recommended to purchase skates; like shoes, the fit can vary greatly!
