1. NeckGuard (REQUIRED USA Hockey 8/1/2024) - Playing ice hockey involves neck injuries every now and then. It may be a flying puck or a blow of your opponent’s stick that can lead to a serious injury. The neck guard below your helmet will minimize the risk.

5. Shin Guards - Shin pads/guards are one of the vital elements. It protects the kneecaps as well as the frontal bones against falling and flying pucks, or sticks. The correct size of the shin guard matters. How to pick the right size? First, bend the knee at 90-degree angle. Then, measure the length from your knee-cap center to the top of the skate boot. The length/measurement of the shin guard must match it.
