HOCKEY SOCKS KEEPS YOUR SHIN PADS IN PLACE

Unlike conventional socks, hockey socks are not covered up by a pair of pants. As a result most hockey teams have hockey socks to match their jerseys, adding a sense of flair and style. But how do you know if your hockey socks fit properly?

If your hockey socks hold your shin pads in place then you have a perfect fit. If not make sure your hockey socks are long enough. They should fit snuggly without stretching from the bottom of the ankle (unless you purchase the stirrup model) to mid thigh. Hockey socks are generally held up by a garter belt. Some players like to use sock tape to tape hockey socks at the middle of the thigh, then again just below the knee and at the ankle. Using hockey sock tape will help keep your hockey socks from riding up during play.

Consider purchasing hockey socks that are a cotton/polyester blend for added durability.
The polyester will dry quickly and the cotton adds to the over all comfort. To learn more about buying hockey equipment and how your hockey gear should fit click on the below articles for more resources.
