What equipment are needed in hockey?

Answer 1

Depends what type of hockey you're playing.

Minimum for Ice Hockey:

Shoulder pads, gloves, shin guards, elbow pads, a helmet, breezers, hockey socks (to cover shin guards) ice skates, compression shorts that will hold a cup or a jockstrap and a cup, a hockey stick, ice hockey skates

For roller, all of the same except:

No shoulder pads, roller hockey pants and an inline girdle instead of breezers, no hockey socks, roller hockey skates instead of ice hockey skates

For ice hockey goalie:

Goalie pants, a goalie groin protector and cup, a monkey suit, leg pads, a goalie helmet with a throat protector (preferably), goalie ice hockey skates, a goalies glove, a blocker, and a goalies stick

For roller hockey goalie:

Same as ice hockey goalie except roller hockey goalie skates

For ice hockey:

An ice rink with nets on both sides of the rink and a puck

For roller hockey:

A roller rink with nets on both sides of the rink and a roller puck (yes, they are different from ice picks. They're made to reduce friction and slide better on floors.)

For street hockey:

Some sort of net, a ball or puck, and a stick

I think I covered a good portion of it. If I missed anything, I apologize. It's a great sport, have fun!
