- Puck: either a blue puck (4 oz) or a regular black puck (6 oz) is acceptable. A blue puck is not required. Hockey Canada says it suits the height and weight of young players and can promote proper mechanics in shooting, passing and carrying the puck.
- Nets: smaller nets are not required. With goaltenders in full equipment, 3x4 nets are recommended, and 2x3 and 4x6 nets are also acceptable.
- Crease: no crease needs to be drawn. Each net is placed just inside the centre-ice circle, which gives the goaltender a small marking for positioning (a crease may be drawn if there is no circle).
