Although the sport of Hockey can seem dangerous. Their are many safety precautions taken before the games. All the equipment has to be certified and authenticated before put to use. The most important piece of armor is your helmet. The helmet protects against skull fractures and all that good stuff. There is one major piece of equipment that may seem silly but plays a very important role. The mouth guard. The mouth guard protects mainly against concussions. It also might save a few teeth as well. I would recommend the Cascade helmets. They make for a snug fit and are probably your best bet for the safest helmet. It has much better protection and you are less likely to get a concussion.
On to the shoulder pads. The shoulder pads play a big role in the checking game. If you have to little of shoulder pads it will be easier and faster to move around on the ice but, you will also get knocked around easier and it might hurt a lot more. If you have bigger shoulder pads it would be the opposite. You could be a tad slower and it would be easier to knock people on their butts.
There are thousands of different kinds of gloves available. They make them in every color imaginabl
e. The type of glove you get depends on what the player likes. I personally like the wider gloves. I think its easier to stick handle and dangle with wider gloves. People might have different opinions. They might like the narrow gloves. They might like it tighter around their hand just in case their glove doesn't fall off.

They also have padding all around which is good for blocking shots. Your pants and your Shoulder Pads should be touching to insure safety.
The jock or cup is used to protect your. You know whats. It is also used to keep your socks from falling down. The shin pads are used for blocking shots and to make sure it doesn't hurt when you take a digger. The elbow pads are there to make sure you don't bust an elbow on the ice. These are the basic essentials that you suit up with.
