Hockey Equipment FAQs

What ice hockey equipment do I need to play?

To play ice hockey, you’ll need essential gear for both safety and performance. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Players: Helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, hockey pants, shin guards, skates, and a hockey stick.
• Goalies: Specialized goalie equipment like leg pads, a chest protector, a blocker, and a catcher glove to protect against high-speed pucks.

How often should I replace my hockey gear?

The lifespan of hockey gear depends on how often you play and the intensity of your sessions:

• Skates: Replace every 1–2 years if used regularly, as they lose stiffness and support over time.
• Helmets: Replace every 3–5 years, or immediately after a significant impact to ensure safety.
• Pads and Gloves: Inspect for wear and tear and replace as needed to maintain protection.

Regularly checking your gear for damage is key to staying safe on the ice. When it’s time to upgrade, take advantage of our sale on hockey gear to replace items affordably.

What should I look for when purchasing hockey equipment?

When buying hockey gear, focus on these three factors:

• Fit: Properly fitting gear is essential for both comfort and safety. Too loose, and it may shift during play; too tight, and it could restrict your movement.
• Protection: Look for advanced features like multi-density foam in shoulder pads and shin guards for better shock absorption.
• Quality: High-quality materials like durable synthetic leather and moisture-wicking liners enhance performance and longevity.
