Can I use my ice hockey stick for street hockey?
While you technically can, this is highly not recommended. Ice hockey sticks have a composite or wood construction that will quickly wear down when used on outdoor surfaces. If you plan on using your ice hockey stick, a hockey blade protector is the best solution to keep your blade safe from wear while giving you the same stick performance.

Hockey balls are ideal for rough surfaces like asphalt, with uneven ground. Pucks provide better performance on smoother surfaces like concrete found on outdoor hockey rinks.

What protective gear should I get for street hockey?
It depends on the level of protection you want to have, but a good starting point would be gloves and shin guards. For more competitive play or optimal protection, we recommend gloves, shin guards, elbow pads, a girdle, and a helmet with a cage.

Can I use indoor wheels for my outdoor roller hockey skates?
No, indoor wheels won't provide the grip or durability needed to play on rough outdoor surfaces. You want to have outdoor wheels since they are harder and designed to provide grip and durability.

Taping your hockey stick blade will only last for a minimum amount of time as it will wear down quickly from the outdoor surface. The best option is to apply a blade grip pad for optimal blade face performance.

What size hockey goal should I use for street hockey?
The best goal size for street hockey depends on your level of play and the space available. Regulation-sized nets (72" x 48") are best for competitive games with goalies, however, take up the most space. Hockey goals that are smaller than regulation-sized nets, also known as recreational goals are great for recreational play and best suited to younger players.

Should I use steel or plastic hockey goals for street hockey?
Steel goals offer the best durability for constant use but are heavier, making them less portable. Plastic hockey goals are ideal for very casual play and are much lighter, making them easier to transport.
