Shin Guards – Next important accessory needed for hockey! It's super important your shins are protected as it is common for the ball or sticks to hit your shins... not often! 

We personally love the Y1 S2 shin pads! 

Gloves – It is common for players to wear a left handed hockey glove to protect your left hand. This is due to your left hand spending a lot of time on the floor in hockey! Our top pick for left handed protection gloves is the Adidas OD glove

Junior players sometimes wear two gel based gloves for warmth and for grip in the cold winter months. here is our recommendation for a pair of gel based gloves.

Masks (for short corners) – Essential for defenders or anyone who takes part in penalty corner defence. It is highly advised you wear not only a mask but also penalty corner gloves! 

The OOP penalty corner hand protectors and Osaka Face Masks are 2 brilliant options. 

Footwear & Accessories

Hockey Shoes - A good set of shoes is always a great addition to your accessory list. (We would have it high on your list) Hockey shoes are specifically designed to add more grip, protection and comfort for the demands of the sport we play. 

We would recommend the Adidas Youngstars for the junior players out there. And for senior players we love the Mizuno Panthera hockey shoes or the Adidas Fabela X.2 Pink. 

Socks - Don't we love a pair of socks! There is a huge selection of hockey socks to chose from depending on your taste. We recommend hockey socks to ensure they keep your shin pads in place.

For the younger player Wacky Sox have a huge selection of fun designs to brighten up your hockey look. For the older player there are brands such as Adidas and Osaka who provide some high quality hockey socks that will last forever! 

Shin Liners - Shin liners are used mainly to stop sweat from getting between your shins and your shin pads. Some players suffer from aggreavted skin when their shin pads rubs against their skin, so shin liners were invented! Since their inception there is a whole host of options for designs to choose from. The main two different options for you are full leg sleeves and shin liners with no foot section. Our favourite designs come from Hocsocx and TK.

On-Pitch Essentials

Water Bottles – Every hockey players should have a water bottle! It's so important for us to stay hydrated and having a bottle that can hold plenty of water for long training sessions and games is vital.
