Goalie Equipment Sizing Guide & FAQ
Properly sizing goalie equipment is essential for maximizing net coverage, ensuring mobility, and staying protected on the ice. Use this guide to find the perfect fit from head to toe.
General Sizing Categories
What do Youth, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior mean in goalie sizing?
Manufacturers group equipment sizes by age and body build to ensure proper protection and mobility.
- Youth: Typically for ages 5 to 8.
- Junior: Typically for ages 9 to 12.
- Intermediate: Typically for ages 13 to 15.
- Senior: For ages 15 and up (adults).
Goalie Leg Pads
What are the typical size ranges for leg pads?
Leg pads are measured in inches, representing the total length of the pad. While exact sizing varies slightly by brand, here are the standard minimum and maximum ranges you will see across the industry:
- • Youth: 20 inches to 24 inches
- • Junior: 26 inches to 30 inches
- • Intermediate: 30 inches to 32 inches
- • Senior (Adult): 33 inches to 38+ inches
How do I accurately measure for leg pads?
The most accurate method is the Ankle to Knee (ATK) or Floor to Knee (FTK) measurement. Sit with your leg slightly bent. Measure from the outside ankle bone (or the floor, if barefoot) to the center of your kneecap. Compare this number to the brand's specific sizing chart.
What is the difference between Youth and Adult leg pads besides size?
Youth and Junior pads are softer and more flexible to help smaller, lighter goalies drop into the butterfly. Intermediate and Senior pads use stiffer, denser foams to handle harder shots and maintain a rigid shape for blocking.
What does the "+1" or "+2" mean on pad sizing?
This indicates the "thigh rise," which is the extra length added to the top of the pad above the knee. A +1 adds one inch, helping to effectively seal the five hole when dropping into the butterfly position.
What is goalie pad break-in like?
New goalie pads typically require 5-10 hours of ice time to break in properly. During break-in, the padding settles and conforms to your body. We recommend starting with practice sessions before game action. Our team can provide tips to expedite the break-in process.
Goalie Gloves (Catchers)
How do I find the right catcher size?
Measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger.
- • Youth: Under 5.5 inches
- • Junior: 5.5 to 6 inches
- • Intermediate: 6 to 7 inches
- • Senior: 7 inches and larger
How should a goalie glove fit?
Your fingers should comfortably reach the end of the inner finger stalls, and the heel of your hand should align with the base of the palm pad. This ensures you have enough leverage to close the glove securely and cleanly catch the puck.
Goalie Blockers
Are blockers sized the same way as catchers?
Yes, you will use the exact same palm to fingertip measurement and the same age categories (Youth, Junior, Intermediate, Senior) to find your blocker size.
How do I know if the blocker fits correctly?
The internal glove should fit snugly like a standard winter glove. Your fingers should not poke hard against the ends, and the side board should fully cover and protect your index finger without restricting your grip on the stick.
Goalie Pants
How do I size goalie pants?
Goalie pants are sized by your waist measurement, similar to regular pants, but they are designed to be much wider and bulkier for maximum net coverage.
- • Youth/Junior: Typically fits waists from 20 to 26 inches.
- • Intermediate: Typically fits waists from 27 to 30 inches.
- • Senior: Typically fits waists from 32 to 40+ inches.
How should goalie pants fit on my body?
They should feel comfortably loose. The waist can be held up by suspenders or an internal belt. The bottom of the pant legs should stop right around the top of your kneecap to ensure they do not catch on or interfere with your leg pads.
