I agree with the helmet and cage. It took me almost a season to get used to the cage, but last year towards the end I took a high stick that bounced harmlessly off the metal. And after learning about the dangers of the jaw a mouth guard will be on my list this season.
And don't forget the cup.
If you are like me and really don't know how to skate make sure the hockey pants have good tailbone protection. And get gloves with good thumb protection for that same reason too.
The rest of my stuff like shouler, elbow and shin pads are all stuff I got on sale at Walmart.
