Introduction
As any hockey godparent knows, the spring season doesn’t just mean blooming flowers and Sunday brunches—it often means playoff pushes, late-season tournaments, and those early morning drives to the rink where the sun hasn't quite decided to come up yet. If you are a godparent to a young skater, you’ve likely spent your fair share of time cheering from the bleachers, clutching a lukewarm coffee, and marveling at how quickly your godson is outgrowing his gear. With Easter just around the corner, you might be looking for a way to celebrate him that goes beyond the standard chocolate bunny. After all, when your life revolves around the sound of skates carving ice and the "clack" of a puck hitting the boards, a gift that reflects that passion is always a game-changer.
This article is designed specifically for godparents, parents, and family members who want to find meaningful, high-quality Easter hockey gifts for godsons. Whether he is a "brick wall" goalie, a lightning-fast winger, or a defensive powerhouse, we have curated a list of ideas that celebrate his dedication to the sport. We’ll cover everything from rink-ready apparel and cozy lounge gear to unique keepsakes that capture the memories of the season.
At ChalkTalk SPORTS, we understand this lifestyle because we live it. Our mission is to help you navigate the world of sports gifting with ease, saving you time while ensuring your gift is something he will actually use and cherish. We’re moving past the generic "big box" items to bring you original, athlete-designed gear that speaks the language of the locker room. By the end of this guide, you’ll have a clear game plan for an Easter surprise that scores big with your favorite player.
The Ultimate Easter Assist: Hockey Easter Baskets
If you’re looking to make a massive impact with minimal stress, we’ve designed the perfect "assist" for your holiday planning. We know that as a busy godparent, you might not have time to hunt down individual items to fill a basket. That’s why we created our curated gift sets that bring the rink to the spring festivities.
Shop hockey Easter baskets to find pre-curated collections that are packed with everything a player loves. These aren't your typical grocery store baskets filled with plastic grass and sugar-heavy treats. Instead, we’ve packed them with high-quality hockey tees, performance hockey socks, durable hockey stickers, and other rink-inspired accessories. It’s a practical and exciting alternative to candy that supports his athletic journey.
If you have other young athletes in the family, you can also shop all sports Easter baskets to find similar sets for lacrosse, soccer, baseball, and more. Our baskets are designed to be "ready-to-gift," meaning you can spend less time at the craft store and more time enjoying the game.
"The best sports gifts don’t have to be complicated — they just have to show that you see, appreciate, and celebrate the athlete or coach in front of you."
Apparel for the Rink, School, and Everywhere In-Between
For a young hockey player, the sport isn't just something they do twice a week; it’s their identity. They want to rep their sport whether they are headed to practice, sitting in a classroom, or hanging out with teammates. Our apparel is designed by athletes who know that comfort and style go hand-in-hand.
Performance Gear for Training
Spring often marks the beginning of off-season training or dry-land sessions. High-quality performance wear is essential for keeping him cool and comfortable. Our hockey performance tees are moisture-wicking and lightweight, making them perfect for intense workouts.
If your godson loves to show off his specific role on the ice, consider a 360° Tech player hockey tee. These shirts feature wrap-around graphics that celebrate the movement and energy of the game. Pair these with our Ryder™ performance hockey shorts for a complete training outfit that can handle even the toughest drills.
Cozy Layers for the Coldest Rinks
Even in the spring, the local rink is notoriously chilly. A staple in any player's wardrobe is a reliable hoodie. Our hockey gameday performance hoodies offer a sleek look with the warmth needed for those early morning skate sessions. If he prefers a more classic feel, our hockey hooded sweatshirts are made from incredibly soft fleece that’s perfect for the car ride home after a long tournament weekend.
Mid-Calf Socks: The Ultimate Locker Room Flex
In the world of youth hockey, socks are more than just a layer between the foot and the skate—they’re a statement. Our hockey mid-calf socks come in dozens of original designs, from bold patterns to hockey team number socks that allow him to represent his jersey number with pride. They are moisture-wicking and cushioned, making them a favorite for both on-ice performance and off-ice style.
Relaxation and Recovery: Hockey Lounge Gear
After hours of skating, checking, and puck-handling, every player needs a chance to decompress. Help your godson lean into his downtime with gear that’s as comfortable as it is hockey-themed.
Comfort is King
There is nothing quite like peeling off sweaty gear and sliding into a pair of soft pants. Our hockey lounge pants are a fan favorite for a reason. They feature fun, repeating hockey patterns and are perfect for movie marathons, gaming sessions, or sleeping in on those rare mornings without a practice.
To complete the "off-ice" look, add a pair of hockey crewneck sweatshirts. These are great for layering and provide a clean, athletic aesthetic that works for any casual occasion.
Bedroom Decor to Showcase His Passion
A hockey player’s room is his sanctuary. You can help him transform his space with items from our hockey home collection. Consider a hockey pillowcase featuring his favorite hockey phrases or a hockey gameday blanket that’s soft enough for his bed but durable enough to take to the rink for extra warmth in the stands.
If he’s reaching an age where he’s collecting jerseys from different teams or tournaments, a hockey jersey hanger display is a fantastic way to turn his gear into wall art. It’s a gift that celebrates his achievements and keeps his room organized at the same time.
Accessories and Small Tokens That Score Big
Sometimes the best Easter gifts are the little things that fill the "corners" of the basket. These accessories are practical, affordable, and deeply tied to the hockey lifestyle.
Bag Tags and Accessory Bags
With everyone carrying similar black equipment bags, it’s easy for gear to get mixed up in the locker room. Our hockey bag tags are durable and feature vibrant hockey designs that make his bag stand out in a crowd.
To help him keep track of smaller essentials like mouthguards, tape, or extra laces, a hockey accessory bag is a must-have. It fits easily inside a larger duffle and keeps the "small stuff" from getting lost in the bottom of a smelly gear bag.
Hats for Every Season
Whether he’s hiding "helmet hair" or staying warm on the way to the rink, a good hat is essential. For the spring and summer months, our hockey rope & trucker hats offer a cool, breathable fit. For the colder months, you can’t go wrong with our hockey knit hats & beanies, which are designed to be soft and insulating.
Keepsakes and Awards
Easter is a great time to acknowledge a successful season. Our hockey gift & award pucks make excellent keepsakes. These pucks feature original artwork and are perfect for displaying on a desk or shelf. They also serve as a great surface for teammates to sign after a big tournament win or a final season game, turning a simple piece of equipment into a lifelong memory.
Celebrating the Team: Group Gifts and Unity
If you are a godparent who also happens to be a coach or a heavily involved team parent, you might be thinking bigger than just one gift. Hockey is a team sport, and nothing builds a bond like coordinated gear.
Hockey team gifts are a fantastic way to celebrate the end of a spring season. Whether it’s matching hockey socks for the whole squad or coordinated hockey drawstring backpacks, these tokens of appreciation make the players feel like they are part of something special.
For organizations looking to take it to the next level, learn how to set up a custom team store and fundraising program. This allows teams to offer exclusive apparel to players and families while raising money for tournament fees or ice time. It’s a win-win for everyone involved in the youth sports community.

Making Easter Memories on and off the Ice
The goal of any gift, especially one from a godparent, is to show that you are paying attention to who the child is becoming. For a hockey player, the rink is a place where they learn resilience, teamwork, and discipline. By choosing Easter hockey gifts for godsons that reflect this part of their lives, you are validating their hard work and passion.
Whether you decide to go all-out with one of our hockey Easter baskets or pick out a specific hockey gameday performance hoodie, your thoughtfulness will be the real highlight of his holiday.

FAQ
How do I choose the right size for a hockey godson?
Sizing can vary between youth and adult categories, so we always recommend checking the specific size charts located on each product page. If your godson is in that "in-between" stage of growth, it is often a safe bet to size up, especially for hoodies and lounge pants, where a slightly looser fit is usually preferred for comfort. Our customer service team is also available to help if you have questions about specific measurements.
When should I order to ensure my Easter gifts arrive on time?
We pride ourselves on fast processing, with most in-stock items shipping within 1-2 business days. However, during peak holiday seasons like Easter and Christmas, we recommend placing your order at least 7-10 days in advance to account for shipping carrier timelines. For custom team orders or fundraising items, please allow for longer lead times as these products are made to order.
What are some good "non-apparel" gifts for a hockey player's Easter basket?
If you want to skip the clothing, focus on "lifestyle" and "room" items. Our hockey bag tags and hockey stickers are great for personalizing gear. You can also include hockey gift & award pucks for his display shelf or a hockey pillowcase to upgrade his bedroom decor. These items add a personal touch to his space without needing to know his exact shirt size.
Can I set up a group gift for an entire hockey team for Easter?
Absolutely! We offer many products that are perfect for team-wide gifting, such as matching socks, bag tags, or moisture-wicking tees. If you are looking to do a larger, customized order for a club or organization, our custom team store and fundraising program is the best way to manage it. This minimizes upfront costs for the team while providing high-quality, coordinated gear for all the players.
