How to Suit-up in Hockey Gear
When it comes to getting the kids dressed, it takes a while to get used to it so be sure to arrive to practice/learn to skate at least 20 minutes early.
First have them come wearing or change into something they can move easily in like stretchy pants, long sleeve t-shirt. Something like pajamas or base layers. (Jeans do not work well)
Long socks, sometimes the skates can rub so if they have something longer than ankle socks that will be helpful.
Long sleeves are nice because the velcro on the elbow pads can rub on their arms.
For players with long hair I recommend a bandana to keep the hair out of their eyes, it's really hard to get it out of their face when they have a helmet on.
- Jock/Jill. Some of these come with a special velcro spot to keep the hockey socks up.
- Shin guards and hockey socks
- Breezers/Hockey shorts. Make sure these go on before the skates!! If you put skates on and then try to put breezers on it is difficult and can result in ripped breezers so please don't.
- Skates
- Chest protector
- Elbow pads
- neck guard

- Helmet
- Gloves
- Grab the stick and hit the ice!
