As the new hockey season looms, it’s a suitable time to reflect on times passed and the progression of the sport. Beginning in the era where players simply entrusted a turtleneck jumper and a pair of unsuitable heavy boots, the game of hockey began to establish itself through the world. Taking different forms and incorporating different techniques, the diversity has bloomed into the intricate and amazing sport we see today. Illustrated in the transition from the sluggish and tough version on field, to the swift and endearing Astroturf version, we can safely say that hockey is in tandem with nature- ever evolving.
Based on the same principles of looking back, we can also look forward and imagine how the sport can progress. How will Hockey sticks be in a decade’s time? How will boots deal with the demands of the sport as time progresses? How will goalies look as science develops- will they be rid of the large protective suit? These are questions which nobody can answer with absolute certainty. However, what can be certain is that we can confidently discuss the equipment available today. The groundbreaking gear which is pushing the game further through its journey of growth is so often hidden from the player’s eyes.
