That and a girdle, elbow pads and leg guards.

I think. At least that's what Hockeymonkey sells in the officials section.

The intelligent ones do.  Standard equipment for an official is:

black trousers

sweater

girdle (hip and thigh pants)

shin guards

elbow pads

cup

helmet

sweater

whistle

skates

I know of one AHL official that does not wear a girdle and a few amateur officials that do not wear cups, girdles and shin guards. (Those guys are nuts, no pun intended!)  Anything worn under the trousers and sweater are theoretically optional.

If Craftsman makes toolboxes for their tools, then NHL refs would be wise to do the same.

If only to to be able to service those puckbunnies.....
