Whilst the collections within The Hockey Museum continue to grow every week, we are lacking in the goalkeeping department. In the main, we are looking for equipment from the ‘leather’ era.

We do not have a single example of gloves or chest protectors. We would be very interested in anything that pre-dates the 1980s. Moreover, we do not possess a single face mask or an early helmet.

There must be some of this equipment lurking somewhere in a garage, loft or clubhouse. If so, please send it to us or, better still, arrange to deliver it and see what we are up to at the Museum.
