Hey man! -
Having spent the past season learning to skate and having played a
couple of sessions of mock hockey, I'm ready to invest in hockey
equipment (particularly since I will be taking summer 'hockey
lessons'). However, I am completely and profoundly ignorant when it
comes to hockey equipment. I've checked out local stores and looked
at catalogs, but I was hoping to solicit opinions/suggestions before
actually plunking down any money. Having played football in high
school and college I at least have that equipment as a basis for
comparison. But for example what are the advantages/disadvantages to
different kinds of shoulder pads and pants/girdles? Are there any
notoriously bad or unsafe brands or styles? etc. So any suggestions
or comments would be greatly appreciated.
