Helmets are required for all Hockey classes.
Jackets should allow for easy mobility. Layering is the
best option.
Please make sure mittens and
gloves fit properly, and are
waterproof.
Pants should allow free movement and in the beginning levels, they offer some extra padding. Snowpants are a good
option for beginners, as skaters pass through the levels make the move to lighter pliable pants.
Make sure skates are tied securely and snug at the
ankle. Make sure skates have been sharpened for optimal success!
