Purchasing Hockey Gloves

This guide will assist you in selecting suitable hockey gloves.

Hockey gloves serve to protect your hands and wrists while ensuring flexibility and comfort. They are made from synthetic materials or leather (which tends to be pricier) and sometimes reinforced with Kevlar or nylon at the high-wear areas.

Glove Sizing for Hockey

Determine your glove size while donning elbow protection. Measure the span from the lower edge of the elbow pad to your fingertip. Sizes are given in inches and can differ across brands. The table below provides a good indication based on your measurement 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"

* The finger length is identical for sizes 13", 14", 15".

Note: it is acceptable for gloves to be slightly oversized, provided they offer complete protection for your hands and wrists.

Quality of Hockey Gloves

Hockey gloves, at a minimum, ought to feature several joints per finger and a wrist-protecting sleeve. Quality gloves are anatomically shaped (meaning they come out of the box moulded in the shape your hand takes when playing hockey.) Reinforcement on the wear surface (inside the palm and on the thumb) will help your gloves endure longer.
