Kermit has to work fairly hard with the Seattle Argonauts trainers and equipment staff to be able to properly suit up for games. One of the biggest challenges he faces is the fact that he is a Muppet operated via a hand up his ass. This presents different equipment challenges that require extra padding for the puppeteer's hand, a brace to keep the arm upright and in position, and a modesty cover so no one can see the grisly scene where frog meets wrist. In addition, most hockey equipment contains velcro in one or more spots, which presents a challenge for Kermit, whose body is comprised largely of felt. As such, velcro needs to be replaced from stock hockey equipment and replaced with other means of convenient adhesives to keep everything firmly in place and protective of the Muppet inside. It's not easy being green, and it's definitely not easy being a Muppet in the best league in the world.
