Purchasing Hockey Gloves

This guide assists you in selecting the appropriate hockey gloves.

Hockey gloves protect both your hand and wrist, while also offering mobility and comfort.
Materials used include synthetic or leather (the costlier option), with occasional reinforcement using Kevlar or nylon on areas prone to wear.

Determining the Size of Hockey Gloves

While wearing elbow guards, measure from the lower edge of the elbow pad to the tip of your fingers to determine your glove size.
Sizes are provided in inches, and they may differ between brands. The sizes in this chart offer a useful guide, based on your measurements and height:

Model	Measurement	Height (approx.)	Size
Child	20 cm		8"
Child	23 cm	< 120 cm	9"
Child	25 cm	110 - 120 cm	10"
Junior	28 cm	120 - 130 cm	11"
Junior	30 cm	130 - 140 cm	12"
Junior	33 cm	140 - 160 cm	* 13"
Senior	36 cm	160 - 180 cm	* 14"
Senior	38 cm	> 180 cm	* 15"

* Finger lengths are identical for sizes 13", 14", and 15".

Note: It is permissible for gloves to be slightly oversized as long as they provide complete protection for your hands and wrists.

Evaluating Hockey Glove Quality

At the very least, hockey gloves should feature multiple joints per finger and a cuff to shield the wrist.
High-quality gloves are anatomically designed, meaning they are pre-shaped as if you were gripping a hockey stick.
Reinforcement on high-wear areas (such as the thumb and palm) extends the lifespan of your gloves.
