Equipment

	This is a Bauer Vapor 10 ice skate.  You need an ice skate to play hockey.  The ice skate also has some padding in it to protect your foot.
This is a Nike Quest 1 hockey glove.  The gloves are used to protect your hands and wrists.  The right sized glove should go all the way to the elbow pads.
	The shoulder pads in this picture are the Bauer Supreme 5000 shoulder pads.  The shoulder pads are used to protect the chest, stomach, abdomen, and shoulders.  This helps to protect any of your inner organs from getting bruised or ruptured.
This is a picture of the Bauer Supreme 5000 elbow pads.  The elbow pads are used to protect your elbow if you fall on it.  Some elbow pads have slash guards to protect your wrist if you get slashed.  The elbow pad with the glove should cover the whole forearm if it is the right size.
	The shin guards in this picture are the Easton SG Air shin guards.  The shin guards protect your shins, knee, and sometimes the calf muscles.  The shin guard should go from the top of the skate to the knee.  This protects you from breaking your shin and bruising of tearing you calf muscle.  Some of the shin guards come with calf muscle protectors that go around the leg.
