Help Prevent Injuries With the Proper Equipment

Equipment plays a vital role in preventing injuries on the ice.

Purchasing a new helmet every year ensures that the helmet not only fits properly, but is also free of damage for a season of play and travel.

Properly fitting shoulder pads will assist in preventing shoulder injuries, and properly fitting shin guards will help prevent the knee from hyper-extending.

A regularly sharpened skate will ensure proper gliding on the ice and therefore help prevent knee and hip flexor injuries.
