One fact you can rely on: a full set of rental gear, skates, stick, helmet and pads, is issued free at your first trial session with Galaxy. No need to own or buy a thing to start. Looking for season rental, a single-game hire or sizing help beyond that first session? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm exactly what's available.
That part's certain. For anything past the first trial, season rental, a single session, sizing, message us and we'll confirm the current options directly.
We'd rather tell you exactly what we know than guess at the rest. The honest split looks like this.
Skates, stick, helmet and pads are issued for your free first trial session, no cost, no need to buy anything beforehand.
Season-long rental, one-off game hire and current sizing options change over time, message us on WhatsApp for accurate, up-to-date terms.
Skate sharpening and gear for sale on the ground floor of Sport Society, once you know hockey's for you.
Hockey gear is the number one thing that stops people from trying the sport, skates, a helmet, pads and a stick sound like a lot to buy before you even know if you'll like it. In Dubai, that barrier is gone for your first session: Galaxy issues a full rental set free of charge, so you can step on the ice without owning a single piece of equipment.
This part is simple and guaranteed. When you book a free first trial with Galaxy Hockey Academy at Sport Society, Mirdif, a complete rental kit, skates, stick, helmet and pads, is provided at no cost. It applies to kids and adults, complete beginners and returning players alike. You genuinely don't need to buy or borrow anything to find out if hockey's for you, and there's nothing to arrange in advance, the kit is simply waiting for you when you arrive.
A full hockey kit, from skates and a helmet to shoulder, elbow and shin pads, is one of the biggest reasons people put off trying the sport in the first place. Buying a set before you know whether you or your child will stick with it doesn't make sense, and most beginners have no idea what to look for anyway. Removing that decision entirely for the first session is deliberate: it means the only thing standing between you and your first time on the ice is showing up.
Past that first free session, things like renting gear for a full season, hiring a set for a single game or drop-in, and current sizing availability depend on stock and timing, so we're not going to publish numbers here that might be out of date by the time you read them. The fastest, most accurate way to get real terms is to message us on WhatsApp with the player's age or height and what you're after, season rental, one game, or a size check, and we'll confirm exactly what's available right now.
We'd rather say "ask us" honestly than quote a price or a policy that turns out wrong when you show up. Rental terms for anything beyond the first trial can shift with demand and stock, so a direct answer from our team on WhatsApp will always be more accurate than a number sitting on a webpage. It also means we can actually check your player's size and what's on hand before you commit to anything, rather than you turning up to find the size you needed wasn't available.
Bring it. Rental exists for beginners, newcomers to Dubai and anyone who hasn't invested in their own kit yet, it's not a requirement. Once you know hockey's sticking, there's a pro-shop on the ground floor of Sport Society for skate sharpening and gear, and our used gear marketplace is worth a look if you'd rather buy secondhand than rent long-term. Either route gets you playing, the rental gear is simply there to remove the very first barrier.
Message Galaxy on WhatsApp at +971 50 859 9547 with the player's age or height and what kind of rental you need. If you haven't tried hockey yet, start with the free first trial, gear's included, no questions asked. If you're already training with us, check beginner lessons or the Kids Academy for what comes after your first session, and see our price guide for the wider picture on costs.
One message gets you a straight answer, not a guess.
Send the player's age or height and what you need, first trial, season rental or a single session.
We check current stock and rental options and give you real, up-to-date answers.
Come in, get sized and geared up, skates, stick, helmet and pads sorted before you step on the ice.
