So you know how hockey players are covered head to toe in padding? Not the case in #hurling! The only required gear is a helmet, with optional facemask.

The guy putting us through drills said that the safest place to be is right up on another player. That's because when they swing, you'll be too close to hit with the end of the stick. Instead you'll get an elbow, or maybe the butt end of the hurley tapping you, but that's ok. https://octodon.social/media/m9h3ESoW6BqI3B2XY3w
