Hockey Equipment Checklist
If your son or daughter is just starting hockey, or you are fishing through your storage room to get ready, here is a check-list of gear that your child must have in order to participate.
While this can seem overwhelming the first time you try to dress a squirming 4-year old, you will make it through this. There will be lots of Mums and Dads that will be willing to help, so just ask if you need assistance in the dressing room the first day or two. As well, you might want to partially dress your little one at home, where it is quiet and the TV can help distract them. The upside is that they are wedged into the car seat, so they can complain on the way to the rink, but not escape :-)
On a more serious note, the Association has donated gear to help outfit players in need. Please reach out to your IP convenor for more details.
