Ice Hockey is popularly considered as a rough sport that consists of twelve players fighting over a little 3" puck, that launches like a missile. Further, playing this game using skates and big sticks can cause injury. Playing over ice increases the risk as ice can cause both shock and serious internal injuries. Elbow pads were originally manufactured to withstand all impacts caused by playing against some tough and strong players in the field.
Each equipment in this game serves a special purpose for ensuring complete safety.

protection. These pads are necessary to protect your elbows from any kind of injury including painful bone bruises and fractures. In addition to providing a superior level of protection, these elbow pads are extremely comfortable to wear as they are lightweight.
Things to consider when purchasing Elbow Pads
Elbow pads are equipped with adjustable Velcro straps that cover forearm, elbows and triceps. Elbow pads are mandatory to wear in most leagues.
- It is very important to measure the length between the shoulder pad and the cuff of the glove before purchasing the elbow pads.
- When fastened securely, there shouldn’t be any gap between the pad and the biceps. These pads should not slip or move once fastened. Players who wear a short cuff style glove should choose the longer model of elbow pad.
- Also, ensure that you buy a pad that ensures snug fit.
