The ION covers the inside of the knee and the thigh above it, which is the area a leg pad leaves open the moment a goalie drops into the butterfly. Junior and intermediate sizes are offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny goalie who plays low needs something here. When the pads rotate out, the inside knee and the thigh are the two spots pucks find, and they are also the two spots that teach a young goalie to stop going down. A dedicated knee and thigh pad takes that hit so the leg pad can stay where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are worn under the pants and inside the leg pad, so they have to stay put without stacking up bulk behind the knee. Keep them snug. A knee pad that slides down the shin is worse than none at all, because it leaves the gap open and the goalie stops trusting the position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJunior suits younger goalies, and intermediate suits a growing goalie who has outgrown junior gear but is not in senior pads yet. Size the knee pad to the leg pad rather than to age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA good pick for goalies playing a butterfly-heavy style, and for parents replacing knee protection that has gone soft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vaughn","offers":[{"title":"JR","offer_id":43767194320962,"sku":"510588","price":115.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/1585\/4658\/files\/knee-pads-vaughn-ion-junior-knee-thigh-pads-1263814225.jpg?v=1792549071","url":"https:\/\/www.thehockeyshop.com\/products\/vaughn-ion-junior-knee-thigh-pads","provider":"TheHockeyShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
