Elbow pads
The same elbow pads used in hockey are used in ringette. They must be properly fitted so they do not slide. Measure the length between the shoulder and the cuff of the glove and match the player's measurement size to the size of the elbow pad in inches. When fastened securely, there should be no gap between the pad and either the biceps extension of the shoulder pad or the cuff of the glove.

Gloves
The same gloves used in hockey are used in ringette. When checking out gloves, make sure you get a proper, comfortable fit that has good finger and hand mobility.

Pelvic protection
Affectionately referred to as a “Jill Strap”, the female jock strap is often mandatory (and just simply a good idea). If wearing hockey pants or there isn’t one built into your girdle, be sure to pick one up.

Shin guards
Hockey shin guards are also used for ringette.

Check for proper length so they protect the knee and shin completely: shin guards are best fitted while the player is sitting. To fit properly, measure from the centre of the kneecap to the top of the skate boot and match the player's shin measurement to the size of the shin guard.
