Exclusive to Source for Sports, the new Bauer Matrix shoulder pad uses high end features from their elite shoulder pads and gives this exclusive option great value to the consumer. With Bauer’s AMP (Active Motion Protection) technology, IX foams and Vent armour throughout, this anatomically fitting shoulder pad not only has elite level protection, but allows for little restriction making it feel like you’re not wearing anything at all.
Shoulder Caps & Protection
The Bauer Matrix junior shoulder pad has low profile molded shoulder caps. They allow for a tight to body fit and the added IX foam offers high end protection which will disperse impacts and keep your shoulders protected from any heavy contact.
Sternum Protection
Molded HD foam throughout the sternum and vent armour foam on the side panels not only offer solid protection but help the shoulder pad breathe to keep you cooler during play.
Spine Protection
The spine protection on the Bauer Matrix junior shoulder pad is a molded HD foam which also wraps around to the ribs limiting any unprotected areas on the upper body.
Bicep Protection
The Matrix shoulder pad features a 2-piece, adjustable bicep. The AMP technology design within the bicep pieces has no restriction in movement and allows the player a full range of motion.
Liner
The Thermo Max liner will help keep the body cool during play and the moisture wicking properties will help to dry these shoulder pads out before the next ice time.
Abdominal Protection Piece
The Matrix shoulder pad also features a removable abdominal piece to give the player the option of leaving it on for full coverage, or removing it if there’s any interference with the pants.

Bauer Supreme Shoulder Pads Fit
The Bauer Supreme line is designed to provide ‘Supreme’ coverage. Segmented body panels and an anatomically cut body provides a natural, close-to-the-body fit that helps players achieve maximum power with every motion.
At The Hockey Shop, we believe a shoulder pad should ultimately offer you’re the protection you need, in addition to being mobile and comfortable. Some preference is involved in the overall fit of the pad, but we find sizing the pads based on a chest measurement is a very accurate measure. Once you have this measurement, you can match to the sizing charts.
Player Shoulder Pad Sizing
Sizing before Purchase
To fit for a properly sized shoulder pad, you will need a soft tape measurer to measure and record your chest measurement. To do this, find the widest point of your chest (usually just below your armpits) and measure the circumference. Record the measurement in inches and compare to the available sizing charts in each brand. Also compare your height, weight and age to find your best fit.
Sizing after Purchase
Once you have received your new shoulder pad, stand in front of a mirror and strap them on. You will want to check the follow criteria to ensure a proper and protective fit:
- 1. The tips of your shoulder are sitting directly under the middle of the shoulder cap. If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap.
- This is important because if the shoulder cap does not sit in the correct position, your clavicles, shoulders, and upper arms can become more susceptible to injury. 2. The bicep guards are positioned maximum halfway down the upper arm.
- Adjust the bicep guards using the Velcro straps located underneath the shoulder caps (if applicable). At the highest point, the bicep guards should not be more than halfway down the upper arm. This is important because they can interfere with your elbow pads, throwing off the fit.
If you are checking sizing for a child, it is ok for the tips of their shoulder to be under the inner half of the cap and not directly in line with the middle.
