Ice skates in Canada: figure, recreational and hockey skates

Updated 5 November 2026

In Canada adult recreational or figure skates cost about CA$58 to CA$176, kids' adjustable skates about CA$60 to CA$92, and hockey skates from CA$40 up to about CA$950 for premium models. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Create a request on BlaBlaPrice with your size and level, and sellers will answer with their offers in the chat.

Warranty and safety rules in Canada

Brand warranties in the listings are usually short. CCM and Bauer give 90 days for skates against manufacturing defects, and Jackson Ultima figure skates are warranted for six months from purchase. Keep the receipt, because the period starts on the date of sale. For helmets worn with hockey skates, Canadian regulations require ice hockey helmets to meet the CSA Z262.1 standard. A Canadian skating safety guide adds that skates should give good support and a proper fit, be laced correctly and be sharpened regularly.

When to buy before the cold season

Canada's winter runs from December to February, and that is when outdoor ice is used most. Buying in November gives you time to get the fit right before the outdoor ice season, so you are not choosing a pair in the middle of the rush.

Sizes, centimetres and delivery

Skate sizes often differ between brands, so measure your foot length in centimetres and compare it with the brand's size chart before you order. Ask for a delivered price to Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa, and check that the seller has your size in stock before you pay.

What to write in your request

Say the skate type (figure, recreational or hockey), the foot length in centimetres, the player level, and whether the skates are for a child, a teen or an adult. Add the city, your budget in CA$, and whether the skater uses outdoor ice or a rink. Sellers quote more precisely when they know the level, because a beginner needs a different boot from an experienced player.
