We have also created a Jr Mavs specific Swap and Shop page on facebook. This is for Jr Mavs families to sell and buy equipment throughout the season. We know this sport can be expensive, so this is another avenue for our families to try and save money. We suggest meeting at the rink or at Bar Down for exchanges, but please buy/sell at your own risk (Jr Mavs are not responsible).
