December 5, 1968 _ HOCKEY EQUIPMENT (from Page 18) are best. Since manufact- urers cannot be sure what size arm the pads are going on, they use a longer elast- ic than necessary for many boys because it is far easier to take a tuck in the elast- ic than to add to it. Pads can be purchased starting at $2.00 and up. Gloves - The most practical way for a boy to select gloves is to try on a few pairs, hold a stick with them, and see which really feels best for him. In most cases, if they are allowed to, boys will select gloves that are too large. Gloves can be purchased for young boys starting as low as $4. Garter Belts - This is the most practical item for hold ing up hockey stockings. The cost starts at $1.25 and up for young players. _ Athletic Support - Athletic supports with a protective cup should be worn by all players. You can get one for the little guy starting at $2.25 and up. Pants - When purchasing pants, you should be con- cerned about the protection they offer such as moulded tail, hip and waist parts, and these should be foam covered. Other niceties can be purchased, however, this will depend on your budget. A general rule TERRACE BAY NEWS Page 17 "69°? Happy Birthday!
