Tariffs could make an already expensive sport even more costly. So what does that mean for families trying to keep their kids on the ice?

Fake news. ’Some vendors raised prices 11–30% during earlier tariff uncertainty and kept the higher prices even after those duties were paused.’ ‘Of roughly 2.1 million hockey sticks imported last year, about 74% came from China, 13% from Mexico, and only 0.9% (~19,000) from Canada.’

Fake News. Most Hockey gear is not made in Canada. The most expensive cost is ice time. 🙄

OR, “stick” with me here. You could buy an American made stick. How the heck have you never heard of Christian Brothers sticks. Made in Minnesota.

It looks like the Minnesota media all got their talking points this morning. They do make hockey equipment other places besides Canada.

Exaggerating much? You cherry pick goalie equipment prices. One player out of the entire team, and yes this position has historically had the most expensive equipment. BTW, us sourced equipment is available too…

Buy an American made product and avoid the tariff!

Won't anyone think of the youth hockey players? You're not a newspaper. You're a comic book.

@ChrisEgertKSTP Yeah, I checked Pure hockey this morning and you guys should have done the same before running this BS report. First page was all normal pricing!

Buy a stick made in America... how about that, you silly blonde?

Sounds like an opportunity for a Minnesota company to produce hockey equipment.

Their solution is buy used or beg. No mention of buying American made. Commie trash @KSTP

We get less than 8.5% of hockey gear from Canada. Clowns.

Buy American

Buy American

This isn't a real story they published, right? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

We can put a man on the moon, but we can't produce hockey equipment?

A high end hockey stick has been $350+ for the last 4 years! Bauer hockey sticks are made in China & Pakistan! Just stop with the BS, atleast do your homework..

Sounds like an opportunity to make stuff here.

Instead of sensationalizing the highest prices you could find, you missed a great opportunity to report to on the fabulous organizations around the state of Minnesota that collect and redistribute used equipment for free. Or report on equipment made in Minnesota / USA.

Only 5-10% of hockey equipment is produced in Canada. Real journalists who aren't partisan liars would have researched that.

60 billion dollar deficit every year in trade with Canada. What ever happened to pay your fair share? Trumps right. They use us. No more.

25 % of sticks come from Canada. Those are mostly wooden.

This is complete bullshit

What's the one's from China going for?? Or better yet, American made??

BS! The associations are the reason for astronomical fees! They’ve priced most families out years ago. It’s well over $2000 for a squirt to play plus tournaments fees, hotel, and travel. Quit blaming tariffs instead of the greed by the associations.

Every hockey parent in the state knows a great equipment exchange. If you are a parent paying retail then the costs of living don’t affect you anyway. KSTP, try looking at the bigger picture.

So you're just another mouthepiece for the DFL. Good to know.

Buy American

And then you realize that CCM and Bauer manufacture ALL of their hockey sticks in China. Zero are made in Canada.

So there is no USA made hockey equipment? The Minnesota ice rinks come from Canada? Stupid , disingenuous. Try real doing news.

Buy a US made hockey stick?

Be careful, you’re starting to g to lie as much as @FOX9.

Great opportunity for Easton to bring production back to US?

@KSTP is the dumbest of the news channels. That’s breaking news btw. Experts and anonymous sources agree.
