  • DO YOU NEED SHOULDER PADS FOR PLAYING ICE HOCKEY?

    Shoulder pads protect not only your shoulders but also your collarbones, chest, upper arms, ribcage, belly, upper back and spine — so they’re a pretty vital piece of kit. With so many hazards on the ice, keeping yourself protected with well-fitting shoulder pads is crucial.

  • WHAT SIZE ICE HOCKEY SHOULDER PADS DO I NEED?

    When you’re trying on shoulder pads, they should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. The tips of your shoulders should sit squarely beneath the shoulder caps without restricting movement, but they also shouldn’t move around too much to ensure that all your vital areas remain protected throughout your game.

     

    To find your perfect shoulder pad measurements, you’ll need to know your chest measurement (taken by measuring the widest part of your chest, just under your arms), height, and weight. If you’re in-between sizes, you can choose to size up for extra coverage and protection or size down for a lower-profile fit with extra mobility.

  • WHAT ARE THE BEST ICE HOCKEY SHOULDER PADS FOR MY PLAYSTYLE?

    A speedy forward player would suit shoulder pads with a streamlined, anatomical fit like the Bauer Vapor or CCM Jetspeed. A defenceman needing additional protection for checking and battling for the puck would prefer bulkier, more protective shoulder pads like the Bauer Supreme or CCM Tacks.

  • WHAT ARE THE BEST SHOULDER PADS FOR BEGINNER PLAYERS?

    If you’re a beginner ice hockey player, it’s essential to try on different types of shoulder pads to find the fit and feel that you like best. The CCM 9550 suits broader players that prefer a bulkier fit, whereas the Jetspeed FT475 is lightweight with plenty of protection in the areas you need most, which is a great option for women players. The Warrior Alpha LX 40 and the Bauer X pants are also fantastic anatomical choices for beginners to try out.
