What Equipment Will You Need?
Selection of hockey equipment is a key issue for players, parents and coaches. When purchasing and fitting equipment make certain the player is adequately protected and the gear allows for freedom of movement. The USA Hockey Parents' Introduction to Youth Hockey outlines the equipment needed for the each level of hockey.
Full Equipment is mandatory in the In-House and Pond Hockey.
Equipment Required for both levels.
___ Ice hockey skates
___ Ice hockey pants
___ Hockey socks
___ Shin pads
___ Cup (boys and girls)
___ Shoulder pads
___ Elbow pads
___ Ice hockey certified helmet (with a full cage or a full shield)
___ Internal mouth piece
___ Ice hockey stick cut to proper size (should be to player's chin when on skates)
___ Hockey jersey (Yerba Buena black jersey)
___ Hockey gloves
Keep the premise of safety first and foremost when purchasing equipment, in order to forgo any unnecessary risks. While it is not necessary to purchase the most expensive equipment, it is important to buy equipment that fits while playing today, versus equipment that will fit within a few seasons. Poorly fitting equipment will make learning and playing hockey, which is already considered a difficult sport, that much harder. It is our priority to help you keep your child safe! The above list is required - coaches will be reviewing skaters to make sure that they are in full protective gear. Any skater found lacking any element will be asked to leave the ice for their own protection and safety.
CORE VALUES IN YOUTH HOCKEY PROGRAM
Sportsmanship: Foremost of values is to learn a sense of fair play. Become humble in victory, gracious in defeat.
Respect for the Individual: Treat all others as you expect to be treated.
Integrity: We want to foster honesty and fair play beyond mere strict interpretation of the rules and regulations.
Pursuit of Excellence : Each member of the organization, whether player, volunteer or staff, should seek to perform each aspect of the game to the highest level of his or her ability.
Enjoyment: The hockey experience should be fun, satisfying and rewarding for all participants.
Loyalty: We aspire to teach loyalty to the ideals and fellow members of the sport of hockey.
Teamwork: We value the strength of learning to work together. The use of teamwork is reinforced and rewarded by success in the hockey experience.
