Def not 200 unless your buying the shittiest shit. I would definitley spend a little more on your skates, helmet, stick and maybe even gloves. The rest of the gear doesn't really matter cause you really don't need the shoulder pads they make these days and pants are pants. Canadian tire shinpads got me through all the time i played AAA and elbow pads are all the same. Skates are definitely the most important because improper fitting and uncomfortable skates can make your time on the ice hell. Many people say stick doesnt matter, but imo i can't play with a stick i don't like. So spend some time and pick up one that feels good to you. Helmet is obvious because you will take some falls and I prefer to have a nice pair of gloves on my hand because the cheap ones tend to be rock hard and have no movement.
Living in montreal you should be near a pro hockey life so just swing by one of those and the staff there are EXCELLENT and will be sure to help you out.
Have fun on the ice!
