3. Hockey equipment
To start playing hockey, here's what you need:
- stick (you can borrow a second hand stick from the club at training - please ask your coach)
- shin pads
- mouthguard.
Please buy your own shin pads and mouthguards before you come to training. Youth players (U18) will not be able to train without these items.
