     In selecting the perfect field hockey stick, it is necessary to choose the proper length.  Choosing the correct length will enable a field hockey player to become a champion.  Because a player with the right length stick is more comfortable, he plays better.   However, the perfect length stick varies among players.  This article describes two methods of choosing the best length stick.

     The first method is called the Dutch Sizing Method.  The player holds the stick with its head in the air, upside down.  The head of the stick is inserted in the arm pit, and the stick ends somewhere near the knee.  The key to proper fit depends on where the end of the handle is in relation to the knee.  It should be between the middle of the knee cap to no more than one inch below the knee cap.  The field hockey player selects a field hockey stick of that length, from the arm pit to the middle of the knee cap.  Amazingly, ball control improves with fewer unwanted lifted balls and fewer broken stick heads.

     In the second method, field hockey stick length is related to the height of the field hockey player.  In choosing a stick, a player should select the longest stick that he can control comfortably.   A more skilled player can handle a longer stick.  Goalies prefer a shorter and lighter stick.  Two problems will become immediately noticeable if the stick is too long.  Too long a stick may cause undercutting of the ball with frequent raised balls.   Another problem is excessive hard contact with the playing surface which causes fracture of the head of the stick.

     Players may be guided by the following list of heights and corresponding stick lengths: 4’3” and under, 31 inches; 4’3” – 4’6”, 32 inches; 4’6” – 4’9”, 33 inches; 4’9” – 5’0”, 34 inches; 5’0 – 5’3”, 35 inches; 5’3” – 5’7”, 36 inches; 5’7” – 5’10”, 37 inches; 5’10” and up, 38 inches.

     Both of the above methods are great in selecting the proper length field hockey stick.  Selecting the right length has advantages.  Field hockey players have better control of the ball and they play better.

Hockey helmet is the most important gear that every player should wear before entering the field to protect themselves from injury. National hockey league players are advised to change their helmets once every seven years as that is all the wear and tear a hockey helmet can stand. Also if a person were to pick up a second hand helmet, it must be tested for durability else will not serve the purpose at all. The sport of hockey is such that people often collide with each other while playing a match and there could be injuries to the head. By wearing a safety hockey helmet , thereby reduces the risk of brain damage by 60%. In fact even on the roads, people who commute using two wheelers are advised to wear helmets, which is again for their own safety.

Along with the team uniforms, a helmet is also handed out to all players before the match. And they are required to have it on at all times. These helmets are usually made of high quality plastic that does not break or bend with collusions. Also the helmets must have a protective face mask with a secured leather strap secured tight around the chin. There are some players who don’t like to wear the helmet saying it restricts their movement and hampers vision, but this will only cause harm to their head or skull and render them unfit for the sport. The hockey helmet has become so popular that today there are miniature helmets being created as part of the sports collectibles in many stores. People are ready to spend hundreds of dollars and buy one of these miniature versions just so they can own a piece of their team and proudly display it in their homes. There are also companies that make hockey helmets for fun purpose for children to enjoy while playing the game in their homes. Sometimes people like to buy these helmets and sport them at home as a curio piece. Or those who enjoy collecting sports memorabilia have a interest in these helmets amongst other sports gear. They enjoy purchasing and showing them off as part of their growing collection of sports collectibles.

All the leading doctors and ophthalmologists state the main reason for injury in sports is because of faulty or no head gear. While playing on ice, the risk factor is much more higher and so the need to protective gear is greater. Hockey helmet needs to be worn at all times while on the filed or arena irrespective of whether one is playing or not. The top selling hockey helmets are the ones made by Nike Bauer which has adjustable straps that allows the player to choose the place where he is comfortable in. these come in different colors and to fit different skull shapes. The helmets available in the market are authentic and some of the autographed helmets sold at souvenir stores are a way of preserving a moment of the sport forever.
