Required Equipment
OUTFITTING YOUR CHILD (HEAD-TO-TOE)
All players MUST have the following properly fitted equipment to take the ice for any practice, clinic or game. Prior to the season’s start and intermittently throughout the season, important “equipment checks” will be offered by coaches. As coaches, we cannot over-emphasize the benefits or perfectly fitting and protective equipment. The more a player (and parents) know about this subject, the better they player becomes.
- HECC-certified helmet with cage or face bubble
- We recommend white helmets at all levels; this is required for all Travel Hockey program uniforms
- Mouth guard
- Neck guard
- Chest protector
- Elbow pads
- Gloves
- Cup (boys) or pelvic protector (girls)
- Breezer pants
- Shin guards
- Socks
- Skates with guards

Jersey and Socks

Jersey Number Selection
- Applies only to all travel players at Mite and higher levels.
- Players will choose number options based upon their level.
- Assigned numbers are alternated each year between even (even birth years) and odd (odd birth years) to insure against duplicity.
- Numbers are assigned on a first registered, first assigned basis.
- The number assigned will remain the player's number throughout their continuous time with WHA.
- A player's number will be forfeited and will be made available for reassignment if they leave the club.
