Gear Program for Young Players
Do you have young kids interested in trying hockey but don't want to commit to buying all the expensive gear just yet? Take advantage of our gear rental program aimed at our youngest skaters. Are you confused about how to put all of the gear on? Watch the video below!
What hockey gear is included in our gear loan program?
- Shin pads
- Hockey pants

How much does the gear loan program cost?
A $150 deposit is required (paid to MYHA) in order to secure a youth gear bag for the season. Depending on the program your child is participating in, a portion of that $150 will be returned at the end of the season once the gear is collected:
Initiation: $150 will be refunded once all gear is returned
Cross Ice: $125 will be refunded
Mites: $100 will be refunded
Squirts: $50 will be refunded
We do it this way because bigger kids are just much harder on gear. This allows us to replace or upgrade safety gear as needed.
How do I sign up and get the gear for my skater?
Be sure to select the rental gear option during your player registration process. You will be contacted prior to the season with pick up time options. We strongly encourage you to bring your hockey player along to gear pickup to ensure proper fit of all equipment. Our storage unit is at Tuck-A-Way storage, 2315 Pinehurst (just south of the rink).
What if I have additional gear questions?
Any questions regarding hockey gear or jerseys can be directed to our Off-Ice (Equipment) Director via the contact list on our board webpage.
