Shopping Tips for Goalie Equipment

  • Goalie leg pads should be sized according to the distance from the ankle bone to the knee cap.
  • The catching glove and blocker should fit comfortably without restricting movement.
  • Chest protector should fully cover the collarbone, chest, and abdomen.
  • Goalie sticks are sized by paddle height - standing in shoes, the paddle should reach the player's chin.
  • Consider purchasing lightly-used equipment to save money, especially for growing players.
  • Prioritize safety equipment first (helmet, neck guard) before upgrading other pieces.
