The cost per hour is $160. If we can get 12 people it breaks down to just over $13 for an hour. I would think an hour and a half would be best, but perhaps starting with an hour would be better? Duke (rink manager) said that everyone must have equipment or they are not allowed to skate; i.e. helmet is mandatory. There is a contract to be signed, indemnifying OSU if you get hurt. He said everything is booked until exam week. He gave me dates that were available, I'll include these in a poll to gauge interest. The dates are:

Monday March 16 @ 7:45

Thursday March 19 @ 9:15

Wednesday March 25 @ 5:30

If these don't work, I can call the chiller or even see if the Newark campus rink has times.

I looked into costs for gear, cheapest skates I could find were 100 bucks and helmets were around 50, sticks are gonna run between 50 and 150... I really don't have 300 bucks laying around... so I'm gonna have to say I'm out unless ya need a coach....

You can use one of my sticks. I don't have any extra helmets. I have extra skates, they are old, but I understand not wanting to wear used gear. I have extra shin pads if anyone needs to borrow those.

I can afford to drop like a hundo to get gear. As far as dates go... Any of those would work as of now

Really, you just need helmet, shin-guards, elbow pads, and a stick. I would say that pants are not necessary, but nice to have. You can get a girdle that would go under sweat pants; cheaper than pants. Shoulder pads are not necessary if there is no hard checking.

check my post #7 in this thread. There are some links with pretty cheap pricing on equipment.

lol i am down for ne of those dates ... and it would be really good if we could get a goalie to come out so we dont have to shoot on an empty net ..... better thing would be is go to www.thechiller.com and look at adult drop in times and it is only like 12 bucks to get in and that would give us a chance to skate with more people

I have no idea what to buy when looking at this shit. I guess the $50 skates are good enough? :dunno:

If you plan to use them often, you may want to get a more expensive pair as they are typically better in lots of ways, but for a skater who is just starting out, I would recommend a less expensive skate. This is what I would recommend out of the links:

Skates

Nike Bauer Supreme ONE05 Senior Ice Hockey Skates 47.99

Elbow Pads

Nike Bauer Supreme 10 Senior Hockey Elbow Pads 15.99

Shin Guards

Itech Techlite 255 Senior Hockey Shin Guards 26.99

Helmet

Nike Bauer 1500 Hockey Helmet w/ Cage 36.99

Pants

Nike Bauer Supreme 10 Senior Ice Hockey Pants 44.99

Gloves

Easton Stealth S5 Senior Hockey Gloves 29.99

You could certainly get the least expensive gear and be fine, it is just a function of how much you think you will play.

Yes, but then it ceases to be a "group" function. I like drop-ins, but you don't get as much playing time. It isn't a bad idea though.

I've priced it about $970 for entry level gear.

I'd be down for being the goalie, but I'd need time and probably help gettin the cash together.... or I used to play right wing back in the day... but like I said it's been since 81, so not sure how I'd do....

You can rent skates for about 2 bucks at the OSU ice rink.

I've got a spare stick someone can use (2 if my buddy doesn't come along), as well as some practice jerseys and socks, but no spare pads :(

Pads are for pussies anyway; all I've worn during Winter intramurals is helmet/gloves/shin pads cuz it's mandatory (and a cup because I like my nuts). Sure, I've so far bruised my tailbone and put a real nice bruise on my right hip, but what's hockey without a little pain? :D

*edit*

Also, if you're going to buy gear, check local Play It Again Sports. I only know of one in the area (then again, I havn't looked too hard) and the selection wasn't the greatest, but what they do have is pretty cheap. Plus, they have new, entry-level sticks for pretty cheap.

The Play It Again Sports on Sawmill has been the best for used hockey equipment, at least this has been the case in years past. I wouldn't buy any equipment new just to play some pick-up hockey. The new stuff is far too expensive for that. The Hockey Stop on Bethel does the best job at sharpening too. The guys at the Gahanna one always screw them up. The drop-ins at Chiller are intense...hell even the stick n' pucks are intense.

FYI - I received notice that renting the ice time at the Chillers is $275 per hour. I would imagine that eliminates that option.

I am okay with any of the dates, but we would want probably 12+ people. If we don't have goalies, we can flip the nets and play bank shots. Right now we have six respondents. Anyone else?
