Any Hockey shop in Beijing?

[Riaan]

Do any of you know if there is a hockey shop at the Hosa Skating Center or near it?
Because we will be playing the championships in March there!
I dont found anything on the internet so if someone can please help me ill appreciate it!

I have the same question...I will be going there and was just wondering if there are any hockey shops...

if there is a rink there must be a shop. An idea to you guys, take a look at the product manufactures home page like sticks or gloves ect.... From there you can do a few things, contact them directly or search under the international distributers locations and contact the regional directly.

I asked someone at the China Sharks and he said that even though they didn't use the Hosa rink this past season, their equipment manager was (probably) getting some of their stuff from the Hosa rink or a shop in the area. Sorry it's not anything more sure.

Hopefully ScottY will chime in with his wealth of Chinese hockey knowldege.

I was thinking more of a factory shop...if you know what i mean...

And i`m also interested if there are any shops in Gwanzhao(hope i didn`t misspeled that ;))


Tnx for your answers :)

At the present time there aren't any hockey shops in Beijing.

Sourcing Chinese made product locally is very difficult, Chinese laws prevent these products being distributed locally, which means all product manufactured in China must be exported and then reimported. Some factory outlets will have product from time to time but it is very patchy and no consistent place to source it.
