Used Hockey Skates Built for Serious Performance

Shop used hockey skates from leading hockey brands like Bauer, CCM, and TRUE at ProStockHockey.com. This collection gives amateur, youth, and senior players access to high-end hockey skates, including pro stock skates built for demanding professional and college-level play. Inventory changes frequently, so available sizes, fits, and skate lines will vary.

What Are Pro Stock Hockey Skates?

Pro stock skates are built for professional and college team inventories, using higher-quality materials than retail models to handle the speed and contact of high-level play. On average, pro stock skates last three to five times longer than retail skates and are designed for the demands of pro-level performance.

Many also include player-specific details like custom sizing or added protection, making them a strong option for competitive players who want better performance at a lower price than a comparable new model.

Pros and Cons of Used Hockey Skates

The biggest advantage of used hockey skates is value. A higher-end used pair often outperforms a new entry-level skate at a similar price, and used skates may already be partially broken in. The tradeoff is that wear varies by pair. Liners, eyelets, holders, and runners may show signs of previous use, so condition notes should always be reviewed carefully before buying.

What to Check Before Buying

Start with the boot. Check for cracks or damage, and confirm the boot still has structural stiffness and integrity. Inspect the lace eyelets and rivets for rust or tearing, since damaged eyelets shorten a skate's lifespan. Heavy wear on the liner and tongue can signal the skate is nearing the end of its life.

Next, check the blade holder and steel. The holder should be securely attached, and the runners should have at least half an inch of blade remaining. Light rust can be cleaned off, but deep rust or cracks in the blade or holder are red flags. Buying from a trusted source is the best way to avoid skates with hidden damage.

Hockey Skate Fit and Sizing

Fit is the most critical factor when buying hockey skates. As a starting point, subtract 1.5 from your shoe size to estimate skate size, though the right fit also depends on foot shape, brand, and model. Bauer offers Fit 1, Fit 2, and Fit 3 width options, while CCM uses tapered, regular, and wide fit categories.

Skates should fit snugly without creating pressure points. Heat molding can significantly improve fit and comfort but confirm a model can be safely baked before doing so.
