It all depends on the brand you're planning on using. CCM skates for youths (sizes1-4) are pretty cheap. Probably like $60-$100.
Some retailers that offer cheap hockey gear include online retailers Discount Hockey and Hockey Money. Another website you may be interested in is Hockey Giant.
An iPad. Has he ever gone ice skating? because on my 11th birthday i went on a ice skating party and i loved it so my mum and dad decided to buy me some ice skates and if hes not too confident then u can buy him some Inline roller skates for ebay or a cheap online shop
Bauer Flexlite skates are good.They are at a very good price too. Different stores have different brands and with different prices. They vary from cheap to very expensive.
It isn't bad at all. People only do that if their laces are too long. Slot of skates come with laces that are way to long but it is very easy and cheap to get new ones

Neither, really. It mostly depends on what you decide to start with. People who skate in hockey skates generally fall over on the toe picks when they try figure skates, and even accomplished figure skaters say they feel like they're gonna fall over when they put on hockey skates. So it's pretty subjective. One thing I can say from personal experience, figure skates encourage much better posture and skating technique than hockey skates, as figure skates require you to straighten your back out much more to skate in/not fall over on the toepicks in them compared to hockey skates, I started in hockey skates and switched to figure like a week ago, so yeah. The only bad part of figure skates is, if you get a higher end pair to just start out in, the toe picks will be close to the ice, so if you lean forward much at all, you'll fall on your face. The other issue is, up to about the 80s, figure skates were made of a single layer of leather, that you could move your ankle around in, like a combat boot. I find these really really hard to skate in, due to the lack of ankle support, compared to hockey boots. I'm sure if you start in them, you can eventually get used to them, but after starting in hockey skates, I could not at all. However, newer figure skates are as stiff/stiffer than most hockey skates, so that's no longer an issue, but I'm just saying this if you find some cheap $20 brand new Chinese "figure skates" or find some older skates at a garage sale or something.
No equipment is really "the best". It all depends on what your style of goaltending is and what you would expect from equipment. For example, if you want a glove that could close quickly and have a secure grip, you may want a Reebok glove; if you want leg pads that can flex and close the 5-hole, you may want Vaughn.Hope this helped
If you want to go to a hockey game in New York, you could further ahead of time purchase tickets at Ticket Master outlets online.

Check your local thrift shops.
You cant. The cheap ones you find wont be real "aggressive" skates. I suggest you get some good ones, like my first ones were razors, look into razors, nimh, remz, and if youre really cheap, roces.
