Equipment

One way OYHA promotes the growth of hockey in Owatonna is by offering an equipment rental program to its younger players.  This program is offered to players up to the Squirt/U10 level.  The objective of this program is to introduce families to the game of hockey while keeping their costs affordable.  Players who continue to participate past the Squirt/U10 level will need to furnish their own equipment. 

 Equipment available:

• helmet w/mask
•  shoulder pads
•  elbow pads
•  breezers
•  shin pads
•  gloves
• equipment bag.

The player will need to supply the following pieces of equipment: 

• skates
• mouth guard
• neck guard
• supporter w/protective cup or pelvic protectore 
• stick. 

Players in the Park and Rec. levels should also have a practice jersey to use until they receive their jerseys sometime during the season.  OYHA players will also need their own practice jersey as the team jersey cannot be worn for practices.

Cost of program:  $50 per season wear and tear charge. 
A $75 deposit check will be required at time of rental also.  This check will not be cashed unless eqipment is not returned to OYHA.  A date will be set to turn in equipment at the end of the OYHA season.  Arrangements can be made to rent equipment for summer and fall OYHA camps and clinics.
