Modern Equipment
The equipment needed to play the game is as follows:
- Box. Approximately 8 feet long × 3 feet wide × 1 foot high constructed with a plywood bottom and three plywood dividers (to create four sections in the box). Each divider has one or more "mouse holes" that are slightly wider than the puck.
- Two hockey sticks, shortened. Each player uses one floor hockey stick (plastic) whose shaft has been shortened to 12 to 18 inches.
- One hockey puck. A floor hockey puck (plastic, hollow) is the best type of puck to be used in box hockey.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or equipment:
“So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
And through the music of the languid hours,
They hear like ocean on a western beach
The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
