Although ice skates are generally cheaper at places like Sportchek, the problem is that the staff know very little about fitting hockey skates. I'm guilty of going to Sportchek and getting something cheap, but super uncomfortable.
Skates are the most important piece of equipment in hockey, so in the future, I will go to a dedicated hockey store (such as Cyclone Taylor) and get fitted properly for skates. Sure, you might pay a bit extra, but it'll be worth it.
