My 2 cents is that if you have to ask or think you have too much equipment then you probably do. I played years ago in a "AA" division in Toronto, those guys can shoot, but you don't need anything near what you need in ice hockey. Think about the other players, very few guys wear any sort of equipment. When I eventually started playing wing I wore soccer shin pads, my helmet and elbow pads, that's it. I took some huge bruises in the thigh but a ball isn't going to break a bone like a puck might. There's no reason you need pro level stuff to play in. I do remember one time when the opposing goalie passed out due to heat stroke, that was scary, he just dropped like a ton of bricks. The heat was always the biggest issue for me playing ball hockey.
