                                                        What Equipment Will You Need?

                                                        Selection of hockey equipment is a key issue for players, parents and coaches. When purchasing and fitting equipment make certain the player is adequately protected and the gear allows for freedom of movement. The USA Hockey Parents' Introduction to Youth Hockey outlines the equipment needed for the each level of hockey. Full Equipment is mandatory in all youth hockey programs except Hockey Tots and Hockey 1&2.

                                                        Equipment Required 
                                                        ___ Ice hockey skates 
                                                        ___ Ice hockey pants 
                                                        ___ Hockey socks 
                                                        ___ Shin pads 
                                                        ___ Cup (boys and girls) 
                                                        ___ Shoulder pads 
                                                        ___ Elbow pads 
                                                        ___ Ice hockey certified helmet (with a full cage or a full shield) 
                                                        ___ Internal mouth piece 
                                                        ___ Ice hockey stick cut to proper size (should be to player's chin when on skates) 
                                                        ___ Hockey jersey 
                                                        ___ Hockey gloves

                                                        Keep the premise of safety first and foremost when purchasing equipment, in order to forgo any unnecessary risks. While it is not necessary to purchase the most expensive equipment, it is important to buy equipment that fits while playing today, versus equipment that will fit within a few seasons. Poorly fitting equipment will make learning and playing hockey, which is already considered a difficult sport, that much harder. It is our priority to help you keep your child safe! The above list is required - coaches will be reviewing skaters to make sure that they are in full protective gear. Any skater found lacking any element will be asked to leave the ice for their own protection and safety.
