  • WHY DO ICE HOCKEY PLAYERS WEAR SHORTS OR PANTS?

    The shorts (also known as pants) that ice hockey players wear protect your thighs, butt, kidneys and lower back from falls, checks and collisions on the ice. Players wear shorts and shin guards as two separate pieces to ensure a maximum possible range of motion through the knee for powerful skating on the ice.

  • WHAT SIZE ICE HOCKEY SHORTS/PANTS DO I NEED?

    Like most things when it comes to ice hockey gear, the fit of your shorts depends on your preference. To find your measurements for the perfect-fitting pair of shorts, simply measure your waist in inches, just above your hips.

     

    When you’re trying ice hockey shorts on, it’s a good idea to also wear your shoulder pads and shin guards. You’ll get the most accurate feeling of how your pants fit with the rest of your gear, whether your shorts interfere with your shoulder pads, or whether you’ve got any gaps in protection. You’ll also be able to check your range of motion, which is crucial to your performance.

     

    Your shorts should fall to about halfway down the kneecap of your shin guard while standing upright to ensure you’re fully protected throughout your stride.

  • WHAT ARE THE BEST ICE HOCKEY SHORTS FOR MY PLAYSTYLE?

    A speedy forward player would suit shorts with a streamlined, anatomical fit like the Bauer Vapor or CCM Jetspeed. A defenceman needing additional protection and extra area for blocking shots would prefer bulkier, more protective shorts like the Bauer Supreme or CCM Tacks.

  • WHAT ARE THE BEST ICE HOCKEY PANTS FOR BEGINNERS?

    If you’re a beginner ice hockey player, it’s important to try on different types of hockey shorts or pants to find the fit and feel that you like best. The CCM 9550 suits broader players that prefer a bulkier fit, whereas the Jetspeed FT475 is lightweight with plenty of protection in the areas you need most, which is a great choice for women players. The Bauer X pants are also a fantastic anatomical option for beginners to try out.
