What’s the difference between beginner and elite gear?
Beginner gear prioritizes comfort and protection at lighter price points; elite gear adds lighter materials (e.g., advanced foams, composites) for responsiveness and weight savings.

Hockey Equipment Buying Guide 2025

Start with the safety core—helmet, shoulder/elbow pads, gloves, pants, and shin guards—then choose skates and a stick that match your level and style. For goalies, prioritize mask certification, chest protection coverage, and pad sizing.

Quick Fit Checklist

  • Helmet: Even pressure, no wobble; cage aligns with chin.
  • Shoulder/Elbow: Caps centered on joints; full forearm/bicep coverage.
  • Gloves: Fingertips near end, full wrist mobility.
  • Pants/Shin: Kidney/tailbone padding covered; kneecap sits in cup.
  • Skates: Heel locked; 1–1.5 size down from shoes (brand dependent).
  • Stick: Height to nose (shoes on) as a starting point; flex ~ 0.4–0.5 × body weight.
