Mandatory Protective Gear & Equipment

Mandatory Equipment

1. CSA Certified Helmet with Ringette mask (see note below)
2. Hockey Skates (NO picks allowed)
3. Protective Gloves
4. Approved Neck Protector
5. Shin Pads
6. Elbow Pads
7. Ringette girdle or Jill covered with Ringette Pants OR hockey pants & hockey socks. Must provide protection of the tailbone and hips.
8. Ringette Stick (Measure length when on skates, should come just up to the armpit; modified sticks must be capped no openings at the end.)
9. Shoulder Pads (optional at U16 and U19 Levels)
10. Practice Jersey
11. Equipment bag
12. Squeezable water bottle with long spout
13. Mouth Guard (optional but recommended)

Note the wiring on the face shield of a Ringette mask differs from that of a hockey mask. In Ringette the wires are spaced closer together and look like a series of triangles in a grid. This is to prevent the tip of the stick from going through. A hockey mask is a square grid.
