Goalie Equipment
Required Equipment
The SLPHA provides the option for all players to try the position during mite hockey.
- Mini-Mites: Players can use quick-change goalie gear. Leg pads and a padded jersey fit on top of normal player equipment, and they swap skater gloves/stick for the goalie blocker/glove/stick. Gear is not taken home.
- Upper-Mites: Each team receives a full set of goalie gear to be shared amongst the skaters. Players supplement their gear (cup, breezers, skates, leggings) with the provided goalie gear (helmet, chest pad, blocker, glove, leg pads, stick). Gear is taken home on a week-by-week basis.
At travel levels, players are encouraged to start purchasing their own gear to help ensure fit and brand/quality preference.
- Part-time Squirt goalies are eligible for pass-the-bag loaner gear.
- Full-time goalies are eligible for either discounted registration, or full-price registration and discounted gear.
Contact the Goalie Coordinator to discuss options.
Buying your own gear
Most hockey stores specialize in either player gear or goalie gear, but not both. Below are some options to get you started if you are looking to purchase a set of goalie gear. Goalie equipment is especially important, so seek advice from knowledgeable sources.
