Skates

No, we’re definitely not talking about roller skates, or any other crazy athletic contraptions with wheels on the bottom. And we’re also not talking about your typical ice skates for freeform ice skating either. After all, when you have a true hockey enthusiast on your Christmas shopping list, he’s not going to be satisfied with the same set of skates used to gain a perfect score at the Winter Olympics. What he’ll need is a set of authentic hockey skates, ones designed with the bulk and durability necessary to give him the continued traction he’ll need when on the ice. Sure, he’ll have to find a rink to use them on, but hey, you gave him the skates so why not let him figure out the rest?

Air Hockey Table

For younger hockey lovers on your list, hockey skates may still be just a little too much. But just because he can’t play hockey on the ice yet doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy some hockey easily at home. With a new air hockey table, your loved one can bash that puck around for hours with friends and family, and show his skills at keeping ambitious scorers at bay. Granted, pucks gliding on air and ice are quite different, but they’re both low traction surfaces so the feel is right even if the material is different. Besides, air hockey tables can be used by kids and adults with equal delight, so this is a gift that can last for generations if properly maintained.

Game Tickets

If you live over in Anaheim and you haven’t been to a Ducks game in years, you can’t blame it on the name change from the once Mighty Ducks any longer. True hockey enthusiasts will want to see their favorite sport in person, so why not bring them to some games to let them revel in their passion? Just be sure to save some money for those vendors!
