Selecting Hockey Gear

When purchasing hockey equipment, bear these points in mind:

Understand Your Requirements

Determine precisely how much gear you truly need. For those who play infrequently for leisure, prioritising essential protective items is key. Once you have skates and a stick, the crucial protective gear includes a helmet, gloves, and shin guards.

Quality Gear Enhances Performance

Opt for equipment that fits well and offers solid protection, enabling you to focus on the match instead of worrying about injuries.

Ensure Your Gear is Compatible

When fitting new gear, do so with your existing equipment to confirm compatibility. For instance, wear your hockey socks while trying on skates. Observe overlaps or gaps between elbow and shoulder pads, as well as between shin guards and skates.
