Ice Hockey Gear

In the earliest days of ice hockey, the gear used by players was nothing more than a good set of winter clothes, a stick and maybe cheese cutters (no, really!) tied to normal shoes. As in many sports, player injuries led to the creation of all the protective gear players wear today. The pain of a stick or puck hitting a leg led to thicker pants, then to leather pieces strapped to the legs and eventually pads for protection, adopted first by goalies.

Today, ice hockey gear makes use of many high-tech materials developed by scientists working in areas that have nothing to do with hockey. Polycarbonate plastics, ultra-lightweight synthetics and even bullet-proof Kevlar now protect players from the pain inherent in the game, and provide better quality sticks. The technology involved in the gear you can buy now makes pads, skates and sticks more powerful, more durable and yet lighter than ever before.
