2009 Dryland Hockey Equipment List

2010 - 2011 Dryland Hockey Inc Equipment List

Dryland Hockey Inc. mandates certain equipment and clothing to keep us safe and to ensure that, although Dryland Hockey Inc is designed to be affordable, our appearance always looks PRO. The estimated start up equipment cost per player is around $100 per player.

The equipment mandated is important to keep hockey sticks and balls from injuring our bodies. If you chose to purchase slightly used equipment instead of new to save money make sure the equipment is in good shape and it fits correctly so you/your child aren’t constantly struggling with loose, worn out equipment or not adequately protected. Often Velcro straps on used gear are worn out, so pay especially close attention to your equipment straps.

Picking a stick is up to the player. Hockey sticks $25 or < will do the trick. Wood blades are fine for outside play. Plastic blades are required for indoor play. AVOID PURCHASING THE SCREW ON PLASTIC BLADES BECAUSE THEY ARE EXCESSIVELY HEAVY. Hockey sticks with wooden shafts and plastic injected blades work great!

INDOOR Shin Pad Requirement (NEW policy as of 10-4-10) - Soccer shin pads with BLACK socks over the top and a volleyball like knee pad. The kids like to slide on their knees and the plastic shin pads leave marks that are hard to remove from the gym floor.
