To start in hockey the main things you’ll need are gear and a league to play in. You’ll need 12 pieces of gear depending on where you are and how old you are. If your starting out at a young age the things you will need are you can find the list at the end of the post. If you are starting out at a older age like 20 or older the list stays the same but you can swap the cage on you helmet for a clear visor or nothing at all. In the NHL you dont have to wear a neck guard but when you are younger you do and I recommend wearing one because it can protect your neck from sticks and skates. Sticks are a preference wether you want a different flex or curve it can be pretty confusing when i started out playing hockey i cut my stick just below my nose on skates and flex is up to your weight and curve is your choice. Well that’s the gear to get started in a league i covered that in a different post so check that out. Have fun playing hockey. Playing hockey is very expensive so save up.
