Shopping Tips for Player Equipment

  • When buying skates, allow for a proper fitting at a hockey shop.
  • Helmets should have a HECC certification sticker and fit properly.
  • Shoulder pads should cover the shoulders, upper chest, and upper back.
  • Hockey stick length should come up to between the chin and nose when standing in shoes.
  • Consider purchasing lightly-used equipment to save money, especially for growing players.
  • Prioritize safety equipment first (helmet, neck guard) before upgrading other pieces.
