Instructions

    • 1

      Attach your mouth guard to your helmet.

    • 2

      Put the jockstrap on over your underwear.

    • 3

      Pull on each knee pad. They should fit snugly around your calves and not go lower than your upper ankle.

    • 4

      Pull on a pair of loose sweatpants, adjusting the lower legs over your knee pads. This will keep you warm and provide a little bit more protection.

    • 5

      Tie on your skates, making sure they are tight and the knee pads fit under the tongue of your skate without restricting your movement.

    • 6

      Move around and make sure everything is relatively comfortable. Get your helmet and your gloves on, set the mouth guard in position and you're ready to play.
