Purchasing Elbow Protection

This guide aims to assist you in selecting the proper elbow protection.

Elbow pads used in hockey are intended to guard against bruising and fractures from falls or stick impacts.

These pads cover more than just your elbow; they also shield part of your upper arm and a portion of your lower arm.

Deciding on Hockey Elbow Pads Size

To determine your size, put on shoulder and glove protection. Measure the space from the shoulder pad's lower boundary to the glove's edge. The length of the elbow pad is crucial—an excessively long one will clash with the glove, whereas a short one will leave an exposed area between the pad and glove.
Different brands offer varying sizes of elbow protection. This chart aids in picking the correct size based on your arm measurement and overall height.

Model	Measurement	Height (approx.)
Child	8"	< 4'
Junior Small	10"	4' - 4' 6"
Junior Medium	11"	4' 6" - 4' 10"
Junior Large	12"	4' 10"- 5' 4"
Senior XSmall	12"	4' 10"- 5' 7"
Senior Small	13"	5' 5" - 6'
Senior Medium	14"	5' 9" - 6' 4"
Senior Large	15"	> 6'

Most elbow pads feature Velcro straps for easy size adjustments, allowing them to fit any arm size perfectly.

Evaluating the Quality of Elbow Pads

High-quality elbow pads ensure both freedom of movement and reliable arm protection, irrespective of how your arm is positioned. The padding, ideally gel, should be excellent to ensure maximum protection.
