It might seem a bit daunting at first, but hockey is a great sport once you get into it. I love playing, even if the games sometimes suck.

+1 to spending decent coin on elbow pads. When I started, I took the same advice of "just spend money on skates and a helmet, get everything else cheap and used".
Well I got some cheap elbow pads and took a nice fall in one of my first games, which lead to some bruising on my elbow, and I swear to god after all these years that one minor elbow injury still haunts me to this day. Now everytime that elbow makes contact with the ice, even with now using good elbow pads, that damn thing flares up and just throbs.
