the farewell to the Joe pucks can be had for like 5-10 bucks, maybe get him that and the Inaugural Season Puck as well, combined would be a cool gift and cost about 25 or so

EDIT if you can't track down those pucks in time, you could always buy a puck bottle opener https://www.amazon.com/Detroit-Wings-Hockey-Bottle-Opener/dp/B01KTXJZ4E/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1511901593&sr=8-9&keywords=pucks+red+wings

They aren't "game used" pucks. Just "official pucks". They sell them at the fan shops in the arena. Like This.

We get the "official" ones for consistency vs pucks that look like This

At 3, I would just enroll him in a learn to skate program if one is available and let him slap a tennis ball around with a stick on dry land something like this might be nice. Actual hockey usually starts around age 5. Keep watching games:)

I'll take a look into that. We just did a test game last night in our living room, but I want to go back to my parents' sometime and play a game in the garage. Something like this would be perfect.

I don't think you'll be doing yourself much good. It may help minimally, but the dynamics of shooting a tennis ball and hockey puck are different, especially if you're a beginner (which I don't know).

For example, elevating a tennis ball in a wrist shot would probably involve opening the face of your blade as you release. If you got into the habit of doing this in your wrist shot, it could negatively affect your form with a real puck.

There are soft rubber pucks available that may be a better option if you can't shoot a green biscuit/roller puck/hockey puck without causing damage. For your form alone, I think these would be better. Here is an example.

Found this one which looks the same, but it's $35 + shipping.

You can still tape the knob/shaft of the blade, but the heat may get the tape to gum up and ruin your gloves (sorry, I'm just assuming Houston gets super toasty in the summer).

Balls are good for practice, but it won't translate directly to puck feel. If it's within your budget, grab a few green biscuits; these emulate puck feel the best off the ice.

IMO, pads are essential but I'm probably biased as someone who plays goalie most of the time. My friends and I have tried playing without one (we just played posts) and it just wasn't the same. If you or your friend want to play goalie on ice, just be aware that the mechanics are really different since you can't slide on asphalt. And of course, check if you have a beginner's league or a learn to play league at your rink.

15-20 might be stretching it. My daughter turned 2 this winter but I didn't put her in skates yet because the attention span just isn't there - even if she did ask about it a lot. Instead I found a mini hockey set for $10 used on Amazon and she plays that out in the driveway sometimes. We'll get into skating next year.

You get what you pay for. My rich friend was on a traveling baseball team and pretty much all the kids on that team we’re from wealthy families. That didn’t mean that all kids had to shell out a ton of money to play baseball. Obviously if you’re playing at a high level the cost is going to go up the higher that level is, but for entry level I can buy new youth goalie pads right now for $90

I've seen a few people with the glow in the dark paint, but it seems to wear off fairly quick, especially with the friction from the tape on the end of the sticks and stuff, that's also something to keep in mind.

However; it seems they sell these as well (Found on ELT4nubs' link) Glow In The Dark Pucks for only like $7

I've been using some pretty cheap franklin street hockey pucks, picked one up at a 5 dollars-or-less store, for 2.99, and its lighter than an actual puck and about the weight of a ball. It just doesn't glide nearly as well as anything, and honestly when it comes to street hockey I'd rather just use a ball.

But you didn't seem too concerned about the actual puck, as much as someone getting hurt. And for 3 dollars I think you can accept at least trying it out. It's 6.99 here but I'm definitely sure you can find it somewhere else.

I have been to sports authority and academy sports, but only at sports authority have we seen these youth sticks: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Force-Hockey-Stick-40-Inch/dp/B000O15H4O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1373834917&sr=8-2&keywords=street+hockey+stick

Some people in our league have had luck with play it again sports, but since it's a used sports store, their stock goes in and out. You might want to call ahead.

You are welcome to wear as much gear as you want, but all we require right now is a stick. As of right now a few of our players wear gloves, and the goalie has a few pads, cup and a mask.
