Gear You Need to Play Hockey

If you want to play hockey you need the right gear to play. So first you need to have all the gear to play. If I were you I would go get them.  Here is the gear you need to play. You need two goals and a rink if you don’t have one you can’t play hockey!! You need shin guards to cover your legs if you did not have shin guards when got hit you would scream!! You need socks to go over the shin guards so your shin guards don’t wobble around when you are playing. A pair of skates so you can go on the ice, if you didn't you have skates you would fall every second and you would barely move. You also need shoulder pads to cover your shoulders, elbow pads to go on your arms, and gloves to cover your hands. If you did not have gloves whenever you hands touch the ice your hand would be freezing, no joke. You need hockey shorts, to cover your thighs and a jockstrap and a jersey to cover your pads. You also need a stick and a puck to shoot and pass. I almost forgot, you need a neck guard so you neck is safe. That is all the gear you need to play hockey. So when you go to the store to don’t forget anything or hockey will be miserable for you.
