Purchasing Hockey Gloves

This guide is here to assist you in selecting the appropriate hockey gloves.

Hockey gloves serve to protect your hands and wrists, offering both mobility and comfort.
Made from synthetic materials or leather (with the latter being pricier), they are occasionally strengthened with Kevlar or nylon on sections that endure wear.

Hockey Glove Sizing

To determine your glove size, ensure you're wearing elbow protection and measure the span from the bottom edge of the elbow pad to your fingertip.
Sizes are listed in inches and may differ among brands. The sizes in this table offer guidance 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"

* Sizes for 13", 14", and 15" share the same finger length.

Note: It is acceptable for gloves to be slightly oversized as this ensures comprehensive protection for your hands and wrists.

Assessing Hockey Glove Quality

At a bare minimum, hockey gloves should have multiple segments at each finger and a wrist-protection sleeve.
High-quality gloves are ergonomically designed to match the natural grip used when playing hockey.
For durability, look for gloves that are fortified on contact areas, such as the palm and thumb.
