PUCKS

Our pucks are made in Canada by Ethab Enterprises specifically for floor hockey (www.floorhockey.net). They are the size of a regulation hockey puck and are made from felt. They slide well on a gym floor with authentic puck action and best of all you will not be hurt by the puck, (unprotected eyes and genitals excepted). Other floor hockey groups take note. We used the light weight Cosum plastic puck for 22 years but to the man everyone loves these felt pucks!. There is no comparison. It's transformed our game to a new level. You can't just slap this puck wildly down the court. It now requires transition game to get into the offensive zone and requires everyone to be a better passer. Plus it doesn't hurt to get hit with it.:-)

STICKS

The all plastic Cosum floor hockey stick in the only type and brand of hockey stick allowed. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS.

Since 1984 we have never had a broken bone because of these plastic sticks. We have extra sticks for newcomers. Once you become a regular you can buy one for $15 from Rick Brinkman.

GLOVES

Optional but wise. Regular ice hockey gloves are too heavy. To feel the plastic stick you need very lightweight ones. Mylec makes gloves that are perfect for $29.95 a pair. You can get these from http://www.thestreethockeyshop.com. (If you are adult you want large.)

SHIN GUARDS: Soccer style light shin guards a good idea. Any sporting goods store for $10.

A CUP: If you have balls and would like to keep them, a cup is a very good idea. Many people don't, but anyone who plays goalie does. Well actually some don't, but they all eventually do. Use your imagination and decide.

EYE PROTECTION: only about 20% of people playing wear eye protection. If you choose to, any racquetball goggles will do. It's a really good idea. It's probably the only serious injury you could get playing this game. Getting hit with a stick or puck in the eye would suck. But we have only had 1 bad injury like that in over 20 years despite most people not wearing goggles. Goalies are required to wear eye protection and a mask.

KNEE PADS: Really only necessary if you choose to play goalie or are crazy enough to go down to block shots. The kind of hard knee pads for rollerblading are perfect.

GOALIE EQUIPMENT: is provided. We have three types of masks (required), gloves, blockers, sticks and even some small leg pads. Whether you choose to play goalie is up to you. It depends on how you get your jollies. Even people who don't wear a cup normally will do so when playing goal.
