4. How should I check for proper helmet size?
To maximize your protection, adjust your helmet to ensure a snug fit and that the chinstrap is adjusted so that it gently makes contact under your chin when fastened. Helmets are probably the most important piece of ice hockey equipment you will purchase.

5. How should I check for proper helmet shield size?
The traditional Cage Face Mask is both strong and durable. It provides excellent ventilation for cooling and breathing with adequate vision. The Face Shield provides excellent vision both straight ahead and peripherally. You will sacrifice air flow with a full face shield when compared to a cage.

6. How should I check for proper glove size?
One of your primary concerns with the fit of the hockey glove is to ensure that the gap between the glove and the elbow pad is minimal. The tightness of the glove is a personal preference and the tips of your fingers should not go completely to the ends of the glove.

7. How about skate sizing?
Except for Mission and Nike, skates normally fit (1) size smaller than your shoe size. For on ice performance, the skate is the single most important piece of equipment you wear. When ordering by mail, it's important that you have someone help you with the measuring. A good clean way to break in your new skates is to lace them up at home. You could also use a hair dryer to warm them, but be careful not to overheat any one area. Let them completely cool before walking in them. If you do this for a few hours, it will help reduce the break in period and your feet will feel better when you hit the ice for the first skate with them. Remember to wear rubber skate guards to avoid damage to floors.

8. How about stick sizing?
The best way to measure your stick is to stand in your stocking feet, without your skates on and on a flat surface. Place the toe of your stick on the ground between your feet. Lean the stick straight up-and-down so that the handle of the stick touches the tip of your nose.The general rule is to mark the stick at this point and cut the handle on your mark. Then when you stand in your skates, the stick should come up to your chin or just below it. Shorter is always better especially when for puck handling.
