Outgrown skates, new owner by Saturday.
The Basar is a local marketplace for used hockey equipment for players, parents and fans. List skates, helmets, sticks and pads with photos, size and condition, search by size, category and distance, and hand the gear over at a game you are both at anyway: HockeyOnline suggests the match from both team calendars.
Who uses it: Players, parents and fans. Kids grow a skate size a season; the Basar keeps the gear moving.

New skates for Saturday
Walkthrough
A U11 player has outgrown her skates.
-
Her dad searches skates in her size within 50 km.
-
He finds a pair from another club and messages the seller.
-
HockeyOnline sees both teams play at the same rink on Saturday and suggests the handover there.
-
Skates change hands at the kiosk after the game.
Tips from the rink
Photograph the size label and the blade; listings with both sell first.
List gear right after the last game of the season, before everyone goes shopping in August.
Use the handover suggestion; it saves a drive across the region.
