  • The classic matching game when you find pairs of cards

Towels & accessories for skaters

If your kid is an ice skater, the following gift ideas are useful accessories related to the rink:

  • A towel to try out their blades - this is an essential step at the end of practice and those towels are very absorbent. Plus, they are way more fun than the boring ones most people use.
  • A cool personalized tag to identify their hockey bag. Sometimes, many players end up with the same bag (especially if there is a Team bag). Therefore, a beautiful tag is a great way to separate yours from the rest.

Equipment & off ice training ideas - gifts for serious hockey player kids

If the kid is really really into playing hockey, then you may consider offering equipment.
The pieces of equipment can be expensive, so you may offer to renew them at Birthdays or Christmas.
There are also plenty of ideas for off-ice training.  The kid cannot spend all the time at the rink, but he/she can still practice and improve at home.

On ice practice equipment

Gift ideas include:

  • New skates
  • A hockey bag,
  • Protections
  • Gloves
  • Blade guards / blade covers
  • ...

Get the hockey bag on Amazon - many colors available

Get the stick bag

Get the mouth guard

Off-ice practice equipment

Other off-ice options include gifts to work on one aspect of the physical training:

  • A balance board trainer to improve balance
  • A trick and shot kit such as the sauce kit to work on precision
  • Or a more obvious slide board - to slide, even if stuck in your bedroom
  • Synthetic ice to practice control over the puck
  • Check out this article to find more off-ice hockey training equipment ideas

Experience hockey gifts

But your gift to a kid hockey player or hockey fan does not have to be physical. Experience gifts are also fantastic. They will create lasting memories and you can enjoy them together.

Tickets for favorite team match

Consider offering a ticket to a match to see his/her favorite team playing - or maybe a season's pass...

Ice skating Experience / Trip 

And if you are looking for a very special gift for a big occasion, why not take your kid hockey player to one of the most beautiful ice skating places in the World such as:

ICE SKATING IN NATURE

  • Lake Louise in Banff - an ice-skating experience on a frozen lake surrounded by mountains
  • Ontario's Arrowhead ice skating trail which is surrounded with forest
  • Lake Weissensee, another frozen lake, this time in Austria also surrounded by mountains
  • or Lake Windermeere Whiteway in British Columbia, Canada
  • ...

ICE SKATING IN CITIES

  • The Somerset House Ice rink in London - a classic around Christmas
  • Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park in New York city (or one of the many other rinks around New York)
  • Rideau Canal Skateway in Ottawa which is 7 km long!
  • ...

For some of these places, maybe it can become a hockey weekend if combined with a match at the local Arena.

About the author


Hello! I am Ryan.


I am Claire‘s alter ego to share our articles about ice hockey.
I have spent my whole childhood at the rink.

I too think that ice skating is the best feeling in the World, but I prefer doing it on hockey skates while playing with a puck.

I hope you, or someone close to you, can experience that same joy.


Have fun!
