Purchasing Elbow Protection
This manual will assist you in selecting the appropriate elbow protection.
Hockey elbow pads are crafted to safeguard you from bruises and fractures when you fall or get struck by a stick.
Elbow pads not only shield your elbow but also provide coverage for your upper arm and part of your forearm.
Determining the Right Hockey Elbow Pad Size
To determine your size, first wear shoulder guards and gloves. Measure the distance between the bottom of the shoulder pad and the edge of the glove. Ensuring the correct length of the elbow pad is crucial; an overly lengthy pad may interfere with the glove, while one too short will leave a gap between the elbow pad and glove.
The size of elbow protection varies across different brands. This chart will help you select the right size based on your arm's measurement and overall height.
Model | Measurement | Height (approx.) |
Child | 8" | < 4' |
Junior Small | 10" | 4' - 4' 6" |
Junior Medium | 11" | 4' 6" - 4' 10" |
Junior Large | 12" | 4' 10"- 5' 4" |
Senior XSmall | 12" | 4' 10"- 5' 7" |
Senior Small | 13" | 5' 5" - 6' |
Senior Medium | 14" | 5' 9" - 6' 4" |
Senior Large | 15" | > 6' |
Typically, most elbow pads come with Velcro straps for size adjustment, making it easy to match them to the specific size of an individual's arm.
