I have played hockey ever since I can remember and getting ready to hit the ice is second nature to me. If you are new to the sport there are some things you need to know before you show up to the rink to play. Before you even get to the rink you are going to need to get some gear. You can borrow some from a friend or you can buy some from a second hand sports store for fairly cheap. Once you have your equipment you are going to need to know how to put it on. This intractable will guide you through the steps to correctly put on your hockey equipment. Some hockey players get ready in many different ways, but this is my method and it works just as well as any other method of getting dressed for hockey.

Signing UpStep 1Getting Things Ready
Before you go to the rink with all you new or borrowed equipment there are a few things that you need to get ready first. First you should check to make sure that your skates are sharp. To do this you can flip you skates upside down and rub the back side of your finger nail on the blade. If your blades are sharp it should shave off a little bit of your fingernail. If your skates are dull you are going to need to get them sharpened. Sometimes they sharpen skated at the hockey rinks but if this is not the case you are going to need to take your skates to a sports store that sharpen skates. Sharpening your skates will normally cost around 5 dollars and will only take a couple of minutes.
You are also going to need to tape your hockey stick. You can get hockey tape from most sports stores. To do this you start at the heal (see picture) of your blade and wrap the tape all the way to the toe of the blade.
