HAVE YOU EVER BLOCKED A PUCK WITHOUT HOCKEY SHIN GUARDS ON? THAT STINGING FEELING AND BIG BUMP THAT FOLLOWS IS A REMINDER TO ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE ICE HOCKEY EQUIPMENT.

Hockey shin guards main purpose is to protect the lower leg from the top of the knee down to the top of the ankle. Correct length for hockey shin guards is measured by sitting down and measuring the distance from the center of the knee to the top of the skate. Look for strong durable plastic in the front of the shin guards. Hockey shin guards should have a plasic protective cup to cover the knee and foam padding with straps should extend around the calves. Look for extra foam padding extending from the knee cup. This padding will protect the lower, often exposed lower thigh.

To keep your hockey shin guards from moving use hockey socks and/or hockey sock tape to hold them firmly in place.

Never risk injury due to poor quality hockey shin guards. Protecting your shins, calves and knees should be the number one priority when selecting hockey shin guards. A comfortable secure fit is beneficial for maximum mobility of a hockey player.
