Reddit mentions of WSI Men's Hockey Joc Velcro with Cup, Black, Medium

The world of equipment can be mind-boggling at times. Best thing I could recommend is to go to a retailer and try some stuff on. Make some aggressive moves in it and see if it comes loose or moves on your body. Play-it-again Sports has some good deals on most stuff and its usually slightly used.

You won't need a really nice stick to start. Don't waste your money on it.

If you're playing in a no-check league I would suggest skipping the shoulder pads or getting something lightweight, they will just weigh you down and restrict movement.

Most important piece of equipment is skates! Spend the most on them and treat them like your babies.

Helmet is crucial too and will help keep concussions happening from the inevitable spills you will take.

Don't overlook elbow pads, nothing worse than a fluid filled elbow after a gnarly fall.

Gloves, shin pads, and pants do not need to be high end, get something that fits well and doesn't restrict movement.

Get a jock that is the shorts with velcro on them to hold up your socks - something like this http://www.amazon.com/WSI-Hockey-Velcro-Black-Medium/dp/B00015KLV2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1464040320&sr=8-7&keywords=hockey+jock

Not necessarily that brand but something like it.

Get some nice socks for your feet too, don't use regular cotton socks.

Check out these tips too, no skills needed to improve your game!
