List of Ice Hockey Equipment

Regular Player Equipment With Descriptions

1. Helmet - One of the core protective equipment is a helmet. It comes with a face cage and a few straps. The face cage protects the face while the straps help to adjust it with your head.

2. NeckGuard (REQUIRED) - 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.

3. Elbow Pads - The pads cover the elbows along with the forearm and the triceps and protect them from pucks and falling. It mainly protects the arm bone as well as the joints from fractures and bruises.

4. 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.

5. Hockey Gloves - Gloves provide protection to the outer part of the hand. They also prevent the thumb from backward bending.

6. Jockstrap/Jockshorts - For protecting the genital parts, men use jockstraps while women use pelvic protectors. The jockshorts will have velcro that can attach hockey socks.

8. Hockey Pants - Hockey pants cover the waist, hip, is to thigh and the pelvic area. The tailbone padding provides cushioning around the thighs. Stiff plastic is inserted for withstanding any impact. Perfect Hockey pants also protect the kidney. A belt is often used for holding the pant.

9. Ice Skates - Ice Hockey Skates. Maximum skate boots have heel ridge protectors and toe caps. The shin guard must end at the beginning of the tongue of the skate. Before buying one, make sure that it fits you well.
