After playing inline hockey where players wear full length pants I am going to start playing on ice where players wear socks. How do these socks stay on shin pads or attach to the body?

Old style you wore garters that kept them up; now the shorts you keep your cup in have velcro flaps that attach to the top of your socks and keep them up under your hockey pants.
I don't wear either. I don't need a cup, and the garters make me laugh. I wear workout pants under my gear because it keeps me cooler and warmer, and keeps my gear from getting as stinky.
So I just pull my socks up over my shinguards and tape them once around the top so they don't slip back down again. Sometimes I'll tape under my knee too, but really it's not a big deal. My pads and my socks all seem to stay put just fine.
I don't like bare legs against my shinguards. Gross. Ew.
I'm not the only person who does it this way, but I think most people wear the shorts. Even the girls on my girls' team do.

Most player now a days have shorts that have a cup built in and Velcro on the legs. The socks stick to the Velcro and you only need tape if your shin pads don't stay in place. The most common brand currently is probably Shock Doctor, but iTech also makes a cheaper version. i don't know where you live, but you can buy them from Piranis or b&r.

i use a garter belt but there are all sorts of ways there are panets with velcro straps you also can just tape it. or there are these pants that have hockey socks attacked to them and a cup inside.

you can get these pants which you can velcro socks on or you can use any hockey tape to wrap around your sock.
