A proposed U.S. tariff on Canadian imports threatens to push already rising hockey gear prices even further, raising concerns for players, parents, and retailers. With much of the equipment—from skates to sticks—manufactured in Canada, the additional costs could strain budgets and limit access to essential gear. Industry experts warn the move may disrupt supply chains and create shortages during peak shopping seasons. The decision comes amid broader trade tensions between the two countries, leaving fans and athletes questioning the long-term impact on the sport.
