Common Misconceptions

     Before you buy your new hockey gloves, there are a few things that you should be aware of. First, you don't want a tight fitting glove. Some players believe that the glove should be a snug fit for good performance, but you'll need a slightly loose glove for freedom of movement and maximum comfort. 

     Another thing you may have seen is players with smaller, tighter, padded gloves. These types of gloves may seem less bulky, but they had a limited production for a reason. Hockey gloves are designed to offer protection to the hand and wrist during play. Any glove without good padding over the hand and cuff isn't doing the job it was designed for. Look for good protection, a durable palm, and a loose fitting glove for great performance while playing.

Sizing Hockey Gloves

     The two most important factors in sizing a hockey glove are a slightly loose fit around the hand and fingers, and good protection over the hand and up to the elbow pad. Hockey gloves are sized according to the distance between the tip of your finger and the bottom of your elbow pad. In inches, measure this distance to select the correct size glove.
