Hockey Equipment
Required Equipment Checklist
Full hockey equipment is mandatory for all BYH programs
- Helmet: Must be a hockey-specific helmet with a full-face cage
- Skates: Proper ice hockey skates (make sure they are sharpened)
- Neck Guard: Required for safety and protection
- Jock or Jill: Athletic supporter shorts (preferably with Velcro tabs to hold up hockey socks)
- Shin Guards: Worn under the socks
- Hockey Socks: Worn over the shin pads and secured to the Jock/Jill Velcro
- Hockey Pants: Padded shorts for hip and thigh protection
- Elbow Pads: Ensure a snug fit to prevent sliding
- Shoulder Pads: Should provide full chest and back coverage
- Gloves: Hockey-specific gloves for grip and protection
- Hockey Stick: Sized correctly for the player's height
If you need to buy new gear, we encourage you to buy a navy blue helmet to match the BYH travel team and Brookline High School colors. Additionally, navy blue pants and navy blue gloves are preferred but not required.
Where can I buy hockey gear
While BYH is not affiliated with any specific stores, our members frequently visit the following local vendors for equipment and sizing help:
- Play It Again Sports (Dedham): Great for new and used gear—ideal for fast-growing skaters! (781-493-6796)
- Sports Etc (Arlington): A local hockey staple
- Pure Hockey: Multiple locations throughout the area
