But we're talking about newbs. It's also completely ridiculous if they go completely on the deep end too soon. Imagine how ridiculous it would be to see a beginner on RBK 8K helmets with Oakley Ovechkin tinted visors, Easton Stealth hockey stick and graf skates.
I think cheaping out is fine. Hockey is only a potentially dangerous sport which only escalates depending on the skill level of the game you're playing. But considering this pick up group in question, I really find it hard that one will get seriously injured. Other than the odd bruises or sore mucles.
