Equipment

If you are new to hockey all of the equipment may seem overwhelming, don’t worry, we are here to help. All first year skaters can rent equipment for free from the association which includes: helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, breezers, shin pads, socks, sticks, and skates (skates are subject to availability). 

The only equipment you need to provide is a mouth guard and protective undergarments.

There are always parents and coaches around to help new skaters get ready. Helping each other out is just a part of the hockey family. Someone is always willing to tie a skate, tighten a screw, lend you tape, or just provide pointers. If you are ever unsure, just ask. Everyone was new once, and we all remember how great the help was. We are here for you, so don’t worry.

A lot of equipment decisions come down to personal preference. If you ask three people how to tape a stick, you will get at least five different answers. Just keep asking questions and figure out what works best for you.
