Richardson Womens Hockey League

The list below applies to women ages 18 and up. Youth players will have different rules and should check with the group they plan on playing with.

If going to buy gear for the first time, please do some research. Equipment used for street hockey is not meant to be used on ice with a real puck. Some roller equipment will be usable and some will not. It is always best to get the equipment made for ICE HOCKEY.

ALL HELMETS - goalies and skaters need to be HECC Approved. Most manufacturers will recommend getting a new helmet every two years as the padding starts to breakdown. Please DO NOT buy a used helmet, give your brain the best!
