Equipment

While Action Boy couldn't sign up for his first season of AusKick he is able to sign up for his first season of Ice Hockey.  What could be more Canadian than that, eh?

Before you can get on the ice you need A LOT of equipment!  Our landlord very kindly gave us a couple of pieces but today we went out and picked up the rest of the kit.  There are many layers and it really felt like I was suiting up a samurai for battle!



To be precise Action Boys is wearing:

  • full body undersuit (kind of like a baby wondersuit!)
  • neckguard
  • elbow pads
  • chest and shoulder pads
  • jock strap shorts
  • shin guards
  • helmet
  • mouth guard
  • shorts
  • socks
  • stick
  • jersey
  • ice skates (not pictured - didn't think freshly sharpened skates on wooden floors was a good idea!)
Let's hope he likes hockey!  Pre-season starts Saturday...
