A Players Guide to Hockey Equipment : Intro

Hockey equipment is a very important part of a hockey players game. However, many players have no real knowledge of the right equipment to buy. They are generally influenced by what NHLers use or advertisements.

I am a hockey player from Canada. Everything that came out, I had to try it out. It also helped out that my dad owned a very large hockey store. I used virtually every stick, glove, pant, helmet, shin pads etc that hockey equipment companies have to offer.

What I learned is that top level equipment is very helpful to your game. People that say that good equipment doesn't matter are not telling the truth. A good hockey player, mixed with great top level equipment, makes an even better player.

When it comes to buying equipment, I always buy my equipment online. There are many advantages to this. First, its a lot cheaper. Local stores will always charge more than their competitors on the internet. Second, the inventory is massive. You could virtually buy any peice of equipment in the world, where buying local you are limited to what the store offers. And finally, you can shop around online, to find out the cheapest, most reliable stores.

Do some snooping around, find the right online hockey store for you and your already ahead of the game!

Yours in Hockey,
