Most of the time, they might not ask you to pay duty, but I guess if it was made in China or India, it might be 6-10%?

If the package is small, maybe ask them to send it to your house and you might not get taxed.
Hockey pants aren't considered safety equipment. I imported my Tacklas and they were deemed an article of clothing so I paid PST and GST on my declared value but no duty because my pants were made in Canada.

Also if ewong is buying from an online shop, most manufacturers don't allow their product to be shipped over the border to protect Canadian shops. Point Roberts is his best bet, not getting it shipped to his house.
