Description

Ice hockey skates: Specifically designed to provide stability and support on the ice.
Skate guards: Protect the skate blades when walking on surfaces other than rubber mats to prevent damage.
Hockey helmet: An essential protection for the head and must be CE-marked. Younger players must have a cage or visor to protect the face.
CE-approved neck guard: Protects the neck and throat from potential cuts.
Shoulder pads: Protect the upper body and shoulders from impacts and hits.
Elbow pads: Protect the elbows from impacts and falls.
Hockey gloves: Provide protection for the hands, fingers, and wrists.
Shin guards: Protect the legs from impacts and pucks. They cover the shins, calves, and knees.
Jockstrap (protective cup): Protects the groin area from pucks or hits.
Suspenders: Hold up the pants to keep them in place.
Hockey pants: Provide protection for the hips, buttocks, and thighs.
Socks: Specialized hockey socks designed to be worn with skates. They come in varying thicknesses according to preference.
Practice jersey: Customized to wear over the hockey equipment during training sessions. Players often borrow one from the club during team practices but may prefer to have their own for personal training.
Hockey stick: Used for shooting and passing the puck. The stick should be the right length for the player, typically reaching the nose without skates. Flex ratings vary from 10 flex to about 100 flex, with lower flex ratings being suitable for younger players.
Water bottle: Essential for staying hydrated during the high-intensity sport of ice hockey.

It's important that the equipment is the right size and fits the player properly to provide the best protection and comfort. It's a good idea to try out the equipment before purchasing to ensure it fits correctly. Talk to our trained staff in the store, and we'll help you find the right gear.
