Player Glove Sizing

Things You Need To Know Before Ordering:

• Age and Level of Play
• In relation to Age, is the person's finger length, long, medium or short.

The fit of hockey gloves is largely personal preference. Gloves should fit a bit loose to offer freedom of movement
while still giving protection from slashes in all areas. Also m ake sure that the gap between the glove and the elbow pad is minimal.

For a senior player whose hand is finished growing you want the end your fingers to come just barely to the end of the fingers. Your fingers should not be pushing through the end of the glove. They should not be too short of the end of the glove either - about 1/4” from the end of the fingers is the maximum amount of room there should be.

For a junior player whose hand is still growing you want to leave a little bit of growing room but not so much that the hand is swimming in the glove. A quick way to test for a proper fit is to pick the stick up off the ground by the shaft, if this cannot be done easily, the glove is probably too big.

There is a big range of choice when it comes to gloves. The protection level of the glove should match your style of play. We recommend that you get the highest level of protection that you can afford. High density foams and plastic inserts are ideal but those features are usually found on the top level models (there are lots of tiny bones in your hands and you want to make sure that you're not going to be watching from the stands for two months in a cast).

Some gloves now come with wrist guards built right in. This is a good way to ensure maximum wrist protection but you will lose a bit of mobility compared to having a separate plastic reinforced wrist guard.

The feel of the glove is important. Most of the companies are now using a soft clarino nash palm to enhance feel and stick control. Not too many companies offer a traditional leather palm any more but you can always have one put in after as a re-palming option.
