“What size hockey pants do I need?” Understanding how to properly fit youth elbow pads

Hockey Pants (Skater) - The pants should be snug enough around the waist that they won't fall down during play. If you like a loose fit, suspenders are an option for you. The bottom of the pant should rest somewhere between the middle and top of your kneecap when your legs are straight. ALWAYS TRY ON THE PANTS!


Hockey Pants (Goalie) - Goalie pants are different from player pants in that they offer a thicker, more substantial protection in the "puck facing" areas (thigh, groin, waist), and they are wider than player pants to help cover more of the net. ... The chest & arm protector can be worn either on the outside or inside of the goalie pants. ALWAYS TRY ON THE PANTS!
