Hockey accessories on offer at SportanoHockey on ice is a sport that requires not only skill and determination, but also the right equipment. Hockey accessories play a key role in every aspect of the game - from improving puck control to protecting equipment to keeping players safe. In the Sportano shop you will find hockey accessories from the CCM brand.Hockey puck: the heart of the game and its unique propertiesThe hockey puck, also known as the puck, is a fundamental element of ice hockey, being at the heart of every action of the game. Its unique design and the material from which it is made are crucial to the dynamics and character of the game. Hockey pucks are usually made of vulcanised rubber, which ensures that they are not only durable, but also have the right weight and hardness. A standard puck weighs around 170 grams and has a diameter of around 7.6 cm, making it perfectly balanced for fast and precise play on the ice. Its dark colour contrasts with the white surface of the ice, making it easy for players and spectators to follow its movements. The physical properties of the puck, such as its low bounce tendency and smooth surface, allow it to move quickly on the ice and easily control and manoeuvre the hockey stick. In addition, the specific design of the puck minimises the risk of bouncing and uncontrolled movement, which is crucial for player safety. Hockey tape: the key to better control and protection of equipment Hockey tape is an indispensable accessory for any hockey player. Used to wrap a hockey stick, tape serves several important purposes, significantly affecting stick control and equipment protection. Wrapping the handle of the stick with tape provides better grip and holding comfort, which is particularly important during fast and dynamic action on the ice. This allows players to control the stick more confidently, which translates into greater precision during passes and shots. In addition to the handle, hockey players often also wrap tape around the blade of the stick. The tape on the blade not only increases the grip on the puck, but also protects the stick from damage caused by contact with ice and other sticks. This protection is important to extend the life of the stick, which is one of the main tools of any hockey player. Hockey tape is available in different colours and types, allowing players to customise it according to their needs and preferences. Choosing the right type and the right way to wrap the tape can have a big impact on the comfort and effectiveness of the game. Skate bag: practical and effective solutions for hockey players The skate bag is an essential piece of equipment for any hockey player, providing comfort and protection for the equipment. For players who regularly move between rinks, the right skate bag is as important as the pair of skates themselves. Practical and effective skate bags should meet several key criteria to ensure maximum functionality and durability. Firstly, the bag should be made of durable materials to protect the skates from mechanical damage and weather conditions such as moisture. Waterproof fabrics are preferred as they protect the skates from rust and other water damage. Another important aspect is the space and layout of the bag. A good skate bag should have enough space to accommodate not only the skates, but also other necessary accessories such as blade protectors, a towel and even a bottle of water. Bags with various compartments and pockets are practical, allowing for better organisation of equipment and quick access to individual items. Carrying comfort is another key aspect. Bags with adjustable, padded shoulder straps or comfortable handles make transporting equipment much easier, especially if the hockey player has to travel a long way to the rink. Hockey stick protectors: protecting and extending the life of equipmentHockey stick protectors are an important accessory to help protect one of the most important pieces of equipment for a hockey player. Hockey sticks are not only expensive but also often customised to the player's individual preferences, so protecting them is crucial. Protectors help prevent cracks, scratches and other damage that can occur when transporting the sticks or storing them outside the rink. They are usually made of durable plastic or rubber and can be easily fitted over the heads of the sticks to provide solid protection. It is important that the protectors are well matched to the size of the stick. Improperly sized protectors can be ineffective and even cause additional damage. Some models are adjustable to accommodate different pole sizes and shapes. Looking after your hockey sticks with protectors is not only a way to extend their life, but also an investment in the quality of your game. Protected and well-maintained sticks are more reliable and enable you to better perform key manoeuvres on the ice.
