When it comes to children’s hockey gloves, the same guidance that the pros go by applies: Having a snug fit provides the right mobility, protection and performance advantages that young skaters need to succeed. If your kid’s hockey gloves don’t fit correctly, the hands won’t be properly protected. Children also will have trouble controlling their stick and therefore won’t be at their best out on the ice.
Youth & Junior Sizes
From 8” to 12” hockey gloves, our collection includes all sizes. If you aren’t sure about what size is best, just measure from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger. Once you have that measurement (in inches), double it and round up to determine your recommended size for junior hockey gloves.
Not only will you find the perfect fit for your child, but you can look for a pair of junior ice used and custom hockey gloves that match any team colors!
How Should Youth Hockey Gloves Fit?
A properly fitted pair of youth hockey gloves should feel snug without pinching. Your child’s fingertips should reach close to the ends of the finger stalls, while the cuff should protect the wrist without limiting movement. Have the player grip a stick and move both wrists to confirm that the palms do not bunch and the gloves stay securely in place.
Although sizing varies by brand, junior and senior hockey gloves are usually larger than kids hockey gloves. Avoid buying an oversized pair for extra growing room, because loose gloves can reduce stick control and leave protective padding out of position.
