Required Equipment List (Oakville Rangers Hockey Club)

Oakville Rangers Hockey Club
Required Player & Goalie Equipment

Mouth Guards are mandatory for all Players and Goalies!

Ensuring safety on the ice is priority, and proper fitting equipment plays a critical role in player safety.

Three important factors should be stressed when evaluating hockey equipment:

• good working condition
• well maintained throughout its life span
• proper fit

‘Hand-me-downs’ are a great way to save money but be sure to carefully inspect the items to ensure they are safe to wear and properly functioning. Be sure to note the helmet expiry date sticker on helmets.

Plan a budget for purchasing equipment. The most expensive equipment is not always necessarily the best for your child. We recommend you consult a professional sporting goods retailer for advice before you purchase any product.
