​
When attending training (and matches) your child will need:
• Mouth guard - compulsory. No mouth guard, no play.
Please consult your dentist or orthodontist to advise you on the most appropriate mouth guard for your child depending on their dental development.
• Shin pads - compulsory. No shin pads, no play
• Water bottle - compulsory
• Stick (see below)
• Warm gear is essential during the colder months (gloves, hat, waterproofs). It is advisable to purchase a Club shirt and pair of socks as soon as you know that your child is committed for the season. They will need both, if selected, for the various matches/tournaments throughout the year.
• Numbers for Hockey shirts - members will be allocated a unique number which they will keep for the duration of their THC membership. To get your number, please contact: thcshirtnumbers@gmail.com
• NEW PLAYERS: PLEASE DO NOT BUY A STICK as the Club will supply them to begin with, so you can get your coach’s advice about the correct size of stick before you purchase one.
Note: The Club has a pre-arranged supply agreement with The Hockey Centre (https://www.hockeycentre.com) where all purchases through the site get 5% off the regular listed price. Please quote the code ‘Beyond150’ at the time of check-out. In the interest of full transparency, the Club receives a rebate of 5% on all purchases from The Hockey Centre and so this is an easy way to also support the Club.
