How to choose ice hockey equipment – a short guide for beginners
Want to start playing ice hockey? Or upgrade your equipment? Here's what you need to know in order to make the right choice.

Protective Equipment

Choosing the right hockey protective equipment is for safety and performance on the ice. Start by having the right fit, as equipment that is too loose or too tight can interfere with movement or protection. Consider the level of play and specific postures to determine what equipment is needed, including helmets, shoulder guards, and calf guards. Finally, always prioritize quality over price to ensure durability and effectiveness in injury protection.

Skating Shoes

When choosing ice hockey skaters, start by measuring the size of your foot accurately to ensure a proper fit. Look for skates that offer a balance between comfort and support, and also suit your skill level. Consider the rigidity of the shoe, the type of blade, and the level of heat insulation. Finally, always try a few pairs and take a few steps on the ice to find the perfect pair for your style of play.

Hockey Stick

Choosing the right hockey stick is essential for optimal performance on the ice. First, the length of the stick should be considered; it should reach up to the chin when you stand on skateboards. Next, pay attention to the bending rating, which affects its power and control; a lower bend is ideal for younger players. Finally, choose the blade curve that suits your playing style, as it affects shooting accuracy and disc control.
