Skates

Skates are lighter and have better performance features than ever.  They come in Youth (8-13), Junior (1-5) and Senior (6 and up) sizes.  Some models also have different widths for wider feet.   Some allow for thermal heating to custom-fit the inner skate to your feet.   Prices vary greatly. 

Helmet

Helmets are the most important piece of equipment you can buy.  They come in a variety of colors and sizes.   Careful fit is a must.  Cages or clear plastic face shields are required.  

Pants

Pants protect the waist and thighs with padding.  Most can be held to the waist with an integrated belt or with over-the-shoulder suspenders.

Shoulder Pads

Shoulder pads have plastic protection above the shoulder and protect down to the waist.  They are meant to protect the collarbone, shoulders, bicep and ribs.  Velcro straps around the chest and biceps hold the shoulder pads in place

Elbow Pads

Elbow Pads provide hard foam or plastic protection for the  elbow.  They also provide protection to the bicep and forearm.  Velcro straps above and below the elbow are used to hold the pad in place.   

Shin Pads

Shin pads have plastic outer shells to protect the shin from pucks and sticks.   Newer versions have a wrap-around liner that protect the calf area.  Most attach to the shin with elastic Velcro straps. 

Gloves

Gloves have low-density foam on the backside and soft leather on the palm side for easy grip.   Sizes vary.

ITECH Shorts with Integrated Protector

ITECH shorts come with a removable integrated pelvis protector on the inside and 4 Velcro flaps (two front and two back) to hold the top of your socks up.   

A must for the beginner !!!!!   

Neck Guard

Neck Guards are required for all Girls.  They provide soft protection below the helmet and above the shoulder pads for stray sticks and pucks.  They attach with Velcro.

Equipment Bag

Bags come in all shapes and sizes.  The newest bags have telescopic handles and wheels for easy pulling instead of just straps for carrying on your shoulder. 

Stick

Sticks are identified by their shaft diameter.   Junior's are the smallest, Intermediate the next size and Senior (Adult) are the largest.  Most 12U girls will be best with a Junior stick.  For 1st time players who are not sure if they need a lefty or righty curve, a straight stick can be purchased until they decide. 

New, lighter composite sticks are replacing the older 1-piece wooden sticks.  Composite sticks come in 1-piece or 2- piece (blade and shaft separately).  Composite sticks cost more and tend to break easier.  

Practice Jersey

Needed for 1st time players at the beginning of the season.  Girls can purchase Blizzard authentic jerseys once the season starts. 

Socks

Hockey Socks are made of heavy knit that stretches.  Some have loops at the bottom to slide your foot through.  The tops can be attached with a garter belt or to the Velcro straps on  ITECH shorts.

Socks are needed for 1st time players at the start of the season.  Girls can purchase Blizzard authentic socks once the season starts.

Mouth Guards

Mouth Guards are required for all girls.  The strap attaches to the face mask.  The mouth piece can be custom heat-fitted to the player's mouth.
