Guard Protector
![]() |
Hockey is what most of us would call an "equipment intensive sport." With all of the equipment needed to play the game, even the most seasoned veteran is prone to forgetting something at some point. You can make sure that you don't get caught without an important piece of equipment by running through a simple equipment checklist.
Essentials:
Hockey Sticks: Serious hockey players will be two because if you only bring one and it breaks, you're in big trouble. Be sure that regardless of how many sticks you bring, that you write your name on the stick. Otherwise someone might use the old "5-finger discount" and walk off with yours.
Hockey Skates: Skates take a little while to break in, so be sure to get some ice time in before game day. If you don't, your feet are going to be killing you the next day.
Shin Guards: First and foremost, make sure that you have the correctly sized shin guards. Once that's taken care of, all you will need to do is make sure that you don't end up with only one in your bag. Always double-check that the complete pair is with you.
Jock Strap: We don't really need to say much here. Forget this and you'll know it.
Garter Belt: This is important because if you forget it, you'll have trouble with your hockey socks all game long. Hockey tape is a temporary solution, but it's definitely not as effective as the hockey garter belt.
Hockey Socks: Hockey socks will cover your shin guards and if you are playing on an organized team, these may be required to be a certain color. Be sure to check.
Suspenders: The last thing you want is to get caught with your pants down...your hockey pants that is. Forget your suspenders and you just might be that unlucky.
Hockey Pants: The primary piece of equipment for mid/lower body protection and the arguably the bulkiest piece of player equipment. Like your other pieces of hockey equipment, your hockey pants are necessary to play. Be sure that you don't forget your pants and the suspenders to keep them up.
Shoulder Pads: Protection for your entire upper body. Proper fit is essential here because shoulder pads that are too small leave vulnerable areas exposed and shoulder pads that are too large restrict your mobility.
Hockey Gloves: Like your shin guards, getting the right size and proper fit is the first thing you need here. A good rule of thumb is, the nicer the glove, the more comfort features it will include. Take our word for it, blisters are a miserable thing.
Elbow Pads: These are a required piece of equipment that should always be worn. You never know when you're gonna take a spill to the ice, lay on the body, or have a puck fly in your direction. The last thing you should worry about is getting an elbow injury because you didn't wear your elbow pads. All you really need to do here is decide if you want hard or soft elbow pads.
Jersey: This is often provided by the league or a part of the team's coordinated effort. All you need to do is make sure it is in your hockey bag every time.
Helmet: The absolute most important piece of equipment and it MUST fit properly. You can check out our sizing guide for hockey helmets to get the low down on how to get the correct size, but for the sake of this article, just know that it is the most important piece of equipment you will own. For game play, your helmet must be HECC approved and most leagues require face masks. Some may allow a clear face shield or visor as adequate facial protection, but it is best to check with your ice rink or league for their official rules.
Mouth Guard: Even if you wear a helmet with facial protection, you can always bite your tongue or crack some teeth thanks to a bone-jarring hit from the opposition. Always wear a mouth guard to avoid such problems. Every mouth guard can be custom fit by dipping it in boiling water and placing it in your mouth for custom molding. Mouth guard packaging will provide step-by-step instructions on how to complete this process.
Throat Protector: Pucks or skates to the throat are terrifying to even think about, so don't forget a throat protector so save your throat. Many leagues for youth players will often require this for game play. Whether you're old or young, you should get a throat protector and WEAR IT!
Hockey Bag: With all of this equipment you're going to need somewhere to stow it and something to haul it around in right? Hockey bags are available in many different designs and sizes to accommodate your style. They also are available with wheels if you don't feel like throwing it over your shoulder.
Extras
Skate Guards: Throw a set of these over your blades after each game or practice. This will help keep your skate blades sharp and void of damage whether you're walking to and from the locker room, or hauling them around in your bag.
Water Bottle: Keep yourself hydrated all game long. Just because you're on ice doesn't mean that you're not going to sweat and need some water. Once you have all that equipment on and you start skating around, it gets hot!
Hockey Tape: Try to keep a minimum of 2 rolls with you at all times. Hockey tape is necessary for taping your stick, fastening your hockey socks around your shin guards, and hundreds of other uses. You can simply never have enough of this stuff and it's almost a certainly that someone will always needs to borrow a little.
Laces: It's always good to have an extra set of these with you. Laces get cut all the time on the ice and having an extra set can save you an unwanted trip to the pricey pro shop.
Hockey Pucks: It's always a good idea to have a puck with you to practice with.
