Jerseys are supplied and will be available for the first on-ice session.

 

 

 

Required Equipment:

 

  • Sharpened Skates (Used are fine at this age)  Please ensure proper fit. Do not buy to "Fit next year"!
  • Helmet with facemask - label the front and back with first name
  • Mouthguard (Be sure to get youth size and mold to fit)
  • Shin Pads (Suggest fleece sweat pants to be worn over the shin pads)  Nonylon wind pants to cover
  • Elbow pads
  • Hockey Gloves
  • Stick (recommend straight or neutral stick)  Curved stick might be wrong hand for the player and straight stick will allow the player to choose which hand he/she will be) 

Optional Equipment:

  • Shoulder pads (Do not get too big.  There is no body contact at this age)
  • Hockey pants (Not really needed and can be a hindrance if too big.  Sweat pants over shin pads works well)
