I honestly have no idea where to get equiptment from ,I got all mine for free when I was playing in the UHL, nice little gift to take back to Canada with me.
Second hand gear is alright I guess but certain things should be new such as gloves, skates, protective cup. Shoulder pads are your call, I haven't worn them in years, (not that I still play anymore), if it's just a rec league no shoulder pads should be great, but if you want them go with the old ones from back in the day, like they wore in the 70's they are light and they don't have the football look of many of todays shoulder pads. Get a good helmet as your head will thank you later for this. Skates don't go nuts and buy the best skates in the world just go with something reasonable and something that feels good.
Good luck in buying your gear, I remember the days of doing this good times.
