Return to article: How to Get Fully Equipped for Ice Hockey
on 11/22/2005 Don't wear a cotton t-shirt under your pads. You'll get too hot and sweaty and you'll stay that way. Instead, buy a "cool-max" type of shirt. Long sleeve or short sleeve is a personal preference. You still get hot and sweaty if you're playing right ;) but the material wicks moisture away from you and you cool off quicker. Many sporting goods stores sell certain brands that cost $50+. I bought mine at Target for like $8. It doesn't have the nifty logo on it, but who cares? It works great.
