1.4 GENERAL TASKS

An essential part of the equipment managers job is anticipationand knowing the working environment. Equipment managershould be in practices and games well ahead of time in order tohave time to know the places and setting up the team equip-ments.

When arriving on ice rink equipment manager should ensure fol-lowing details:

• dressing room• skate sharpening area• stick making area• heat gun area• first aid equipment, stretcher• water station (if tap water is drinkable!)• zamboni exit to get snow for ice bags• nearest exists in case of emergency

In local ice rink equipment manager should know the procedures in case of severe injuries

• location and phone number for the nearest hospital or medical centre• phone number for ambulance• route for the ambulance and medical staff to rink side area

On rink side or bench area there should be a clearly visible sign telling the phone number of thenearest hospital, medical centre or ambulance and full address of the ice rink. In co-operationwith ice rink personnel it is good know the route for the ambulance, if vehicles are blocked outsideice rink area. When something severe occurs, it means hurry and all the actions should beplanned in advance.

During the games when away-team equipment arrives to ice rink, it is polite to give all the detailedinformation of the local ice rink and it’s premises and policies. Game jersey colours are good tosettle in forehand to avoid situation both teams entering ice with similar colours.

Home and away benches should be signposted. Equipment manager should learn the way fromdressing room to the bench area and make sure it is suitable to walk with skates on and if neces-sary, to sweep the route. Otherwise equipment manager must advise players to wear bladeguards.

Equipment manager also should be aware of location of pylons, extra goals and other equip-ments the coaches may need during the practices

SKATES• drying the blades after use• removing the insole — > moisture

harms the rivets, blade may come off• ”tongue” wide open so the skate will

dry properly from inside

STICK• must have proper stiffness for the

player o junior model sticks for the children!• good length for the stick is when

wearing skates the end of the stickmeets the throat

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT• must be right size, not too big or small• no unprotected gaps between the

equipmentso shoulder pads / elbow padso pants / shoulder pants

• Velcro straps should be closed al-ways, otherwise they collect dirt andwon’t attach anymore

• most of the equipment today is ma-chine washable

• broken equipment must be fixed rightaway

2 PLAYER EQUIPMENT AND COMMON SAFETY

2.1 PLAYER EQUIPMENT

An equipment manager should have a good working knowledge of all player equipment. You canobtain the latest information on equipment and technologies from sport shops and manufacturers.The equipment manager should be able to recommend, guide and help players and parents tochoose the right equipment.

Equipment manager should ensure• the equipment is in accordance with rules and regulations• the equipment is right kind and right size• the equipment is in good shape• the equipment is worn correctly• all the necessary equipment are worn

Most important issue with the equipments is the sizing. Too small, big, stiff or massive protectiveequipments hinders playing and reduces the protection. Equipments should be dried after everyuse and wash them frequently.

Issues to be noted with the following equipment

: HELMET• face mask is right size and correctly

adjusted• straps are tight• screws should be checked regularly

(min. once a week)• inner part of the helmet can be

rinsed with water time to timeJERSEYS (practice & game)

• must be treated in a respectful way(!)• put on hangers• washed frequently

2.2 DRESSING ROOM

A team spends a lot of time in the dressing room before and after ice sessions. The dressingroom should be a place where players can concentrate and the environment is conducive to asuccessful performance.

The most important factor in the dressing room is SAFETY. A small dressing rooms with 20 en-thusiastic players - sharp skates, sticks and people walking with bare foot is a dangerous combi-nation. The equipment manager’s job is to create rules and procedures, and ensure that they arefollowed, that will guarantee the safety and comfort of everyone.

The dressing room is the team’s private area, where no external people are allowed to enter with-out permission. This includes parents and players’ friends.


— 10 —

SAFETY• no sticks inside the dressing room

• sticks are used in the rink, not in the dressing room• customising sticks is dangerous inside the dressing

room — > composite dust, fibreglass and wood splin-ters on the floor where players walking bare footed toshower

• floor should be clear for safe movement• nothing is hanging from the roof where people are walking• equipment should be placed in correct order

• equipment stays undamaged• equipment is found easily in the correct location

• dressing room is no playground!• seating order

• goalkeepers need more space

COMFORT• equipments is in good order• everybody has the same space• no horseplay, possibility to concentrate• space to move freely

It is good to teach the players to unpack their equipment assoon as they enter the dressing room. Hockey bags take alot of space and make moving inside the dressing room diffi-cult.

When the equipment is unpacked and placed in the properlocation, the player can then see if he has forgotten any-thing. If something is missing or forgotten, there is time toreact on that issue. Empty hockey bags are folded under theseats.


— 11 —

2.3 BENCH AREA

The bench area can be a hectic place. It is important that theequipment manager controls the bench and ensures that it isin good order. Only players and members of the team man-agement, whose presence is necessary, are allowed to enterthe bench area. Too many people in the bench area make itdifficult for the coaches and equipment manager to operate.

In the safe bench area• players are sitting• spare sticks are in one place and in good order• drinks are available• ice bags are available• some tools available

• screwdrivers• sharp knife• tape• sharpening stone

• no unauthorized personnel allowed on the bench area• there is enough space to operate

2.4 HYGIENE

Showering after practice and wearing clean underwear is veryimportant for the players. It reduces rash and blisters. Thedressing room is not a suitable place for drying underwear andtowels. They should be washed after every use or at least driedin a separate place.

Almost every piece of equipment can be washed. It is importantthat shin pads, elbow pads and gloves are washed from time totime because they are in direct contact with the skin. Washingalso increases the lifetime of the equipment as sweat and dirtaffects the stitches and threads may open rendering equipmentunsafe.

Good hygiene is gained by• showering after every practice• clean set of under wear for every ice session• drying the equipment• washing the underwear• washing the equipment


— 12 —

2.5 HYDRATION

Keeping up the fluid balance is important. The player should drink plenty well before a practice orgame. Sport drinks are not necessary, water is best. However, excessive drinking during thegame or practice can cause stomach cramp and nausea. Players should be encouraged to drinksufficiently.

In training camps when a player has several practices in a day, drinking is very important. Dehy-dration combined with heavy practices can cause headaches and exhaustion. The solution is notpainkillers, but drinking and resting. Recurring cramps can be a sign of an insufficient hydration.

• players should drink well before practice• when a player feels thirsty, dehydration has already started• water is best drink• sport drinks

• harmful for teeth• too strong a mixture causes stomach illness

• rinsing and washing drinking bottles after every use is important• personal drinking bottles are recommended

• reduces chance for infections (fever, stomach illness)


— 13 —

2.6 COLD THERAPY

Cold therapy (also known as cryotherapy) ) is the fastest and most effective way to treat bruises, strainsand ruptures

• reduces the pain• reduces the inflammation and the oedema• reduces the blood circulation on the wounded area• prevents the expansion of the wounded area• accelerates the recovery

Cold therapy is given 15-30 minutes at a time interval of 1-2 hours, depending the wounded area. Forquick recovery it is important to start the cold therapy as soon as possible and continue it at least 24h.Cold therapy too often or for too long time may cause frostbite and damage to skin tissue.

Use snow always when available! Cold sprays and cold therapy gels affects only the surface of woundedarea and applied directly on skin may cause frostbite.

THE I.C.E -METHOD

ICE icepack, snow, reusable gel packs, instant cold packs, bag of frozen vegetables

cold is bound to the injured area with an elastic bandage cold must not be in contact with bare skin, paper or bandage

between the skin and cold

COMPRESS most important part of the treatment! compression can be used on the wounded area when the actual

cold therapy is not given not too tight, blood circulation should not be stopped

ELEVATION wounded area above the heart, reduces the blood circulation

STICK MAKING TOOLS• saw• rasp• sand paper• spare blades for saw and rasp• (knife)• (heat gun)• (hot glue)

GENERAL TOOLS• screw drivers

o cross– and flat-headedo different sizes

• long-nose pliers• lineman’s pliers• diagonal pliers• sharp knife• (leather hole punch)• (spike)• (hammer)

3 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

3.1 TOOLS

Here is a list of some basic tools for an equipment manager. Some items may also be availableat the ice rink (e.g. heat gun). At away games the equipment manager can sometimes borrowtools from the other team, it is not necessary to carry everything along.

An equipment manager should have two separate tool boxes. One for the players and one for theown use. It is recommend to create rules with the players which tools they can borrow withoutpermission and which one needs to be asked from equipment manager. Players should alwaysreturn all the items they have borrowed. It helps to keep the tool selection complete.

First aid equipments should be always in a separate box or bag. All the items should be listed andchecked frequently. First aid box must be cleaned regularly.

OTHER EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS• sharpening stone• tie wraps• string• duct tape• measuring tape• spare screws for helmets• skate laces• glue• sewing kit for fixing equipments includ-

ing strong thread and needles• pens, drawing pens

FIRST AID• plaster• scissors• cellophane bags for icepacks (3 litre)• wound cleanser• sterile wound bandage• elastic bandage• (prescription free painkillers)

If the team has a storage room in the ice rink they use frequently, it is good to have following theitems stored in there:

• pucks• drinking bottles• game jerseys• practice jerseys• game socks• sport drinks• tape• stick tape• spare equipment• skate sharpener

NOTE! All the jerseys should be kept in a storage room if possible to ensure they stay undam-aged and available when needed. Jerseys can be washed frequently. Jerseys should be a prop-erty of the team, not the player.

4 SKATE SHARPENINGSafety aspect is very important when sharpening skates. Sharpening creates sparkles and firesafety must be observed. Ice rinks should have separate area or room for skate sharpening.Sharpening is only allowed in designated areas. There should be nothing flammable around be-cause sharpening creates sparkles. There should always be fire extinction equipment available inskate sharpening area.

It is recommended to use vacuum cleaner which is installed right next to sparkles so the metaldust goes straight in to vacuum cleaner and doesn’t spread in the air. Breathing the metal dust isvery harmful! Metal dust might also damages the sharpening machine. Using a breathing maskand safety glasses while sharpening is recommended.

After finishing sharpening the machine and surrounding area should be cleaned thorough withvacuum cleaner or brush.

Skate sharpening area should be a calm place and no unnecessary people around. If there is toomany people around just watching, they can be asked kindly to move away. This is for the privacyof the sharpener which ensures better sharpening quality and safety when distractions are mini-mised.

4.1 GENERALLY

Skate sharpening and skating is related to the following factors:• blade profile• depth of hollow• quality of ice• player’s size• player’s strength in legs• player’s skating technique

It is important for the equipment manager to understand these factors, whether he/she sharpensskates or not. It is also important to understand the right terms and concepts. Blade profile, hollowdepth and blade sharpness are different concepts but tightly related to each other.


— 18 —

4.2 HOLLOW DEPTH

The hollow is defined as radius. The greater the radius, the lower the hollow and vice versa.

Low hollow• doesn’t go down deep in the iceà small frictionà better glide• turning is easy

Deep hollow• goes deeper into iceà good grip• aggressive skater and player who struggles a lot usually has deep hollow• if the hollow is too deep for the player, stopping is difficult, skate “bounces” backà strength of the legs is not enough

• if the player tries to dull the blade against the benchà the blade is not too sharp, thehollow is too deep!

Quality of the ice also has an effects on the hollow. Hard ice requires a deeper hollow than softice.

4.3 BLADE PROFILING

New pair of skates should always profiled before us-ing them. Profiling means re-shaping the side profileof the blade.

Profile can be like a radius (radius profiling) or therecan be a on flat surface (gliding surface) in blade.

When profiling blades it is recommended to do it withan special made profiling machine. Profiling with free-hand is very difficult and risk to damage the blade ishigh.

Blade profiling should be done individually for eachplayer.

Blade shape fades away in time when blades are sharpened. Blades should be re-profiled onceor twice a season or every time when original profile is gone or changed. It depends how oftenand how blades are sharpened.


— 20 —

4.3.1 RADIUS PROFILING

In radius profiling same amount of blade is contacted to ice regardless in which position the bladeis contacting ice. Blade is like a ”rocker”. Radius can be great or small. In the greater radiuslonger part of the blade is touching the ice, with small radius contacting surface is shorter.

In ice hockey the radius variance is usually between 3-8 meter, which means a circle which ra-dius is 4m and shape of the blade follows this circle’s perimeter.

There is also an combo-profiles where two radius are combined in one blade. E.g. blade profilefor front part from the midpoint is 4m and back part 8m. In this case the blade and skating posi-tion is little bit leaning forward.

Radius profiling provides following benefits:• good manoeuvrability, small turnings are easy• blade goes deep into ice, good grip• contacting surface stays same all the time

4.3.2 GLIDING SURFACE

The gliding surface means the flat part of theblade which comes into contact with ice. The flatpart can be short or long and usually in the middleof the blade. It can also be a little forward from themidpoint of the blade.

Gliding surfaces varies between 4-8 cm. Flat areais relative to the blade size. In a short blade 4cmcan be a lot while in longer blade it could be tooshort.

Gliding surface provides following benefits :• player’s weight is divided more even to

the ice surfaceà smaller friction, better glide• more power for giving kickà faster when skating forward• good balance

For junior and novice players gliding surface could be better for options compared to radius profil-ing. It gives better balance and skating forward is lighter and easier.

e.g. 5cm flat

e.g. 5cm total flat, 3cm front part from midpoint

e.g. 5cm flat in the middle, in front and back 3,96m radius

Gliding surface has own notation like ”25/50”, where the bigger number means the totallength of the flat part in millimetre and smaller number how much of the total length is for-

ward from the midpoint of the blade.

4.4 BLADE PROFILE AND HOLLOW DEPTH COMBINED

While sharpening the skate besides the blade profile, player’s size and strength must be noticed.

In radius profiling hollow should be deeper so the grip is gained because only short area of bladeis contacted to ice surface. Small and light player should have a little bit deeper hollow than bigand heavy player. Blade of a big and heavy player goes deeper in the ice and grip stays goodwithout deepening the hollow.

The other way round, blade with gliding surface has to be lower to maintain the manoeuvrabilityand turning is easy. Small and lighter player should have lower hollow than big and heavy, other-wise the blade starts to ”lead” too much. Gliding surface combined with deep hollow requires lotof strength for the skater in order to control skating.

Equipment manager should be able to distinguish blade profiling from skate sharpening. The ef-fect of these two factors must be understood and how different hollow depths act in differentblade profiles.

SUMMARY OF BLADE PROFILES AND HOLLOW DEPTHS

DEEP HOLLOW LOW HOLLOW

RADIUSPROFILING

• goes deep into ice à good grip

• when giving kick, blade goes deep intoiceà skating is heavy, ice may breakfrom underneath

• requires lots of strength

• small friction between iceand blade

GLIDINGSURFACE(long)

• requires lots of strength

• deep hollow goes deep into ice

• quick turnings are difficultà ”like a train on a rail”

• large friction

• more power for skating

• skating is light

• good glide

GLIDINGSURFACE(Short)

• goes deep into ice à good grip

• when giving kick, blade goes deep intoiceà skating is heavy,

• quick turnings are easy

• less power for kickingspeed

4.5 SHARPENING

Hollow depth and gliding surface don’t affect the sharpness of the blade. A blade can not be toosharp— it is either sharp or dull. If the player says that the blades are too sharp it means the hol-low is too deep. Both sides of the blade has to be sharp.

While sharpening it is important to maintain theblade profile. Same amount from every part ofthe blade should be sharpened every time. Usu-ally this can be seen on heel and toe of theblade. If heel and toe of the blade are sharp-ened unevenly, they ”descend”.

If the blade is descended too much from theheel or toe, blade may loose it’s grip while turn-ing quickly.

The hollow should be in the middle of the blade.

After sharpening the blade should be finished off with an sharpening/edging stone.

4.6 GOALKEEPER’S SKATES

Goalkeepers usually have a longer (8-12 cm) gliding sur-face than skaters. They need good balance on the ice.

Goalkeeper hollows vary from flat to very deep ones. A flator low hollow helps ”shuffling” sideways, deep hollows aremainly used for ”butterfly” style goalkeepers to give a goodgrip on the ice.

Goalkeeper skate blades are usually thicker than skater’sblades which must be considered while sharpening. Thisusually means the blade have to be adjusted lower inheight while sharpening in order to have hollow in the mid-dle of the blade.

GUIDELINES FOR SHARPENING• never rush while sharpening!• sharpen always for the player, not for yourself• always take the player’s opinions seriously

o try to find out from the player how the skate is feeling of how it behaves on theice and make changes according to information

• do not push too hard, the blade may “burn” and the grinding wheel may stick• while sharpening the blade gets hot à let it cool down for a while if you have to sharpen

it several times• best quality of sharpening is achieved from a clean grinding wheel• do not try to spare the grinding wheel or the diamond, the skate is more important• accept the result always for yourself first!
