Equipment
The Ball
Made of Teflon, the ball is white and hard, with a dimpled surface. It weighs between 156 and 163g and its circumference varies between 224 and 235mm.
The Stick
The stick is smooth and straight with one curved end, which is slightly wider. All its edges are rounded, while the inner side is flat. You can only use the flat part of the stick to hit the ball.
Uniform
The goalkeeper must wear, over any upper body protectors, a shirt of a different colour than the ones worn by his or her team mates and the opposite team’s players. The goalkeeper’s body protectors consist of the secured protective headgear, leg guards, kickers and hand protectors, all of which must have no rough edges or protrusions. The equipment of the goalkeeper must comply with the rules and regulations of the International Hockey Federation, so the gear will not artificially increase the size of the goalkeeper’s body or the area that he or she is capable of protecting.
