Hockey Equipment  Basics

The right hockey equipment is essential to safety and to enjoy the hockey experience fully!   All equipment should fit properly to protect a player's safety and to be comfortable.   The most common "misfits" for new players are helmets and skates that are too big or too small and sticks that are too long or too short.   Another common "misfit" is dull skates.   For a first time player, these misfits can make the experience difficult and can take some or a lot of the fun out of it.    We encourage you to take the
time to ensure that your daughter's experience is the best it can be with the right equipment.

If you would like further details on equipment, stick length, sharpening etc check out "Equipment Tips for First Time Players and Their Parents". 

The PRIDE has some equipment available for loan at no charge, including some new skates that were donated.  If your child requires equipment, please contact falmouthpride@msn.com for details.
