If buying used equipment it should have been correctly maintained during its years of use.

Equipment Fitting: One of the most important aspects of buying hockey equipment is that it fits properly. Each piece needs to fit correctly and entirely cover the area

of the body that it’s supposed to protect. Never buy equipment that your child “will grow into”. Equipment that is too large will move around during play, exposing the area that it’s supposed

to be protecting. This can lead to a serious injury.

Condition of Equipment: If you’re buying new hockey equipment it stands to reason that it will be in good condition. When buying used equipment you need to make sure

it’s not cracked in any way and that all parts are structurally sound. Once you’ve bought new equipment it’s important that you check it regularly so that you can immediately catch any cracks and breaks. Some pieces of equipment can be repaired, while other pieces will need

to be replaced.

Maintenance of Equipment: Safe equipment starts with proper maintenance.

After every game and practice session, make sure to hang up the equipment so it dries thoroughly. Proper drying will lessen the amount of deterioration that can take place, maintaining the quality and structure of the equipment. Also make sure to thoroughly dry skate blades right after games and practices to reduce the amount of deterioration that can happen. Maintaining equipment correctly will not only ensure your safety but will also lengthen

its life span.
