What equipment does an ice hockey goalie need and how do they dress up?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I would also like a website that explaines the different types of saves and shows how to dress up as an ice hockey goalie, example, what things u put on first and in what order.

Thanks

Goaltenders need the following equipment and it generally goes on in this order. Some people may do it differently, but it’s impossible to do it drastically different.
1) Cup (most important piece of equipment!)
2) Garter belt and socks
- Some people wear shorts with velco tabs to hold the socks up and a built in cup.
3) Hockey Pants
4) Skates
5) Leg pads
6) Chest protector
7) Helmet/mask
8) Gloves

There are several types of saves. Kick save, glove save, blocker save, stick save, etc. Below are a couple of links that are probably a bit more relevant. These contain information about goaltending styles and cover the specific saves.

How do you suggest I get ready to play ice hockey next year?

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

I roller blade for 1 hour every week day, and 2 hours or longer every weekend day. I also practice shooting a puck into a box. There was never a girls ice hockey team where I live but, I recently figured out there would be one next year… So, is there anything else I can do to ready myself for my first ice hockey season next year???

Thanks!

Do you have a electrical bike or something like that? All of the hockey players use those, may I also suggest weights, treadmill stuff like that.

How do you do ice hockey stops?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I’m new to ice hockey and can do the snow plough stop but I have no idea about how to do ice hockey stops. Could someone post a step by step description of what to do?
American? I’m English.

Take 1 long stride and stop while pushing off with your opposite foot. Now take two and do the same thing. Now 3, then four and so-on.

STOP INLINE SKATING. DON’T DO IT.

What size ice hockey jersey should i buy?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I want to get my boyfriend an ice hockey jersey for his birthday but i’m not sure what size to get. I would normally get him a medium if it was just a normal top but I know ice hockey jerseys are massive as the equipment needs to fit under it so was wondering if I should get him a small size, any tips?

One size larger than his regular shirts if he doesn’t intend on wearing hockey pads underneath it, or two sizes larger if he does.
