How to Buy Gloves

Hockey gloves protect the hand and wrist without loss of flexibility or comfort. It is okay for gloves to be a little large, as long as the padding covers all areas of the hand and wrist. 

Glove Sizing & Fit

Gloves range from youth sizes of about 9 inches up to full adult sizes of 16 inches.

Use a tape measure to measure the distance from where your elbow pads end to the tip of your fingers. This number equals your glove size.

Different manufacturers use different sizing methods, but the chart below is a good indicator of the glove size you should buy based on the above measurement.
