Equipment for Playing Hockey

Hi I am Reyno Benjamin. I am doing this for expertvillage.com. We are going to talk about ice hockey, floor hockey, deck hockey, and roller hockey. I have been playing for about 25 years, so we are going to go over some hockey equipment first. Your ice hockey skates, which are very important… it’s one size smaller than your shoes. You got elbow pads in case you fall back, no injury. This is your shoulder pads. It protects your chest area, your shoulder area. You just basically strap it around, and it protects you from any injury… you strap both sides… and solid. Alright, gloves… it can either be leather or nylon. I prefer the leather ones. All different brands. You got to have your helmet. This is a CCM helmet. This is a half cage with a shield. I don't like the guards in between, you can’t have peripheral vision for your handling of the puck. These are the pants. They go on; it has protection in the back, down at the thigh area. These are your shin guards. The go right here, on your shins obviously. They protect you from any injury. This you got to use, this is the cup to protect your private parts. This is a sock that goes over your shin pads. It is a strap; it’s like a girdle. What you do is, you have your shin pads on, pull up the socks, and on each end you just flip it in. This is basically going to hold your socks. There it is. Pull that way, then you put your pants on, and you’re good to go… so in case, it doesn't fall off. This is hockey stick. Mine is an Easton; it’s an easier medium aluminum flex. Meaning when I snap it, it has a little bend to it. It gives you a little whiplash, kinda like a sling shot. And that is your hockey equipment.
