How often should i replace my hockey equipment?

The frequency of replacing your hockey equipment depends on the specific item and its condition.

Generally, if any part of the equipment has developed a hole or a crack, which compromises its protective function, it should be replaced. For instance, if the knee section of a shin guard has cracked, it no longer offers full protection and should be replaced to avoid injury during play.

Hockey is a physically demanding sport, so it’s essential to regularly inspect your gear for damage. Address any wear and tear by repairing or replacing items as needed to ensure both your safety and that of your teammates.
