I want to play hockey. I am a 14 year old girl and I don't know how to skate. I understand that I will have to learn how to play and skate but can anybody give me a list on what it will take to play (equipment, lessons, etc)?

I think it's great that you want to play hockey, it's such a cool sport! I love watching it, and wish I had got into playing when I was your age.

To get a good answer to your question, I would recommend reaching out to a local team and seeing if they have classes you can sign up for.

For example, even big teams like the Anaheim Ducks run a free program: http://ducks.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=63987

If  there's nothing like that near you, then the local rink/venue is likely to have a website with that type of information on it instead.

As for equipment, I would expect that part of a beginners class would be to explain exactly which kit you'll need to purchase from the start.

As a guide, this might be useful:
