Description |
 |
Hockey gloves should fit snugly and not losely because you may lose the grip of the stick. The gloves should have thin palms for gripping the stick. The purpose is to protect the wrists and hands. |
 |
Shins and elbow pads can prevent a lot of chipped bones due to a fall on the ice. They are made of either fiber and plastic but they serve the same purpose in preventing nasty bruises from sticks and shots. |
 |
Shoulder pads are worn hopefully to prevent any injuries to the shoulder and collarbone from any force of impact. They shouldn't be so large that they slow your skating speed |
 |
Hip pads are built into the top of the pants also known as breezers. |
 |
Like all the other equipment in ice hockey, it should fit properly on the player, not too
big not too small. Wearing a helmet is very important because it protects the players head
if a fall were to take place. |
