Moms & Dads of BEGINNERS
In terms of equipment, hockey is a complicated sport:
  • It’s not basketball or soccer — where you just need shoes
  • Or baseball — where you just pick up a glove and a bat
EQUIPMENT MATTERS
  • For the beginner, poor fit can turn a fun sport into a miserable experience
  • NO ONE can skate well in skates that don’t fit right
  • Ill-fitting pads or helmet are distracting and potentially dangerous
AVOID OVERKILL
  • High performance gear for beginners can be a waste of money
    • A new parent bought a pair of $100 shoulder pads for 50% off at a second-hand store and thought she did great... But, all her son needed was a $25 pair of pads (brand new)
