Sizing Guide! Using a soft tape – without wearing skates measure from the floor to center of the knee. Use the result to check pad size in the chart.
Or you can take three different measurements:
Step 1. The first measurement is the goalie’s skate size. Example – Size 8 skates.
Step 2. Converting in inches, measure from the ankle to the middle of the kneecap. Example – 38 cm will be 15”
Step 3. The third measurement is from the center of the kneecap to the center of your thigh. The center of your thigh is where the thigh rise will come up to. Example – 25.4 cm will be 10”
Step 4. Add all three measurements to find your leg pad size. Example: skate size + ankle to knee + knee to thigh (8 + 15 + 10) = 33” leg pad
The center of your knee should be in the center of the knee stack. This is the most important area to check first. The knee should be centered to allow the leg pads to properly flex, rotate around the leg, and protect the knee when dropping down into the butterfly. Each thigh-rise should reach halfway up the thigh when in the standing position and sealed together when in the butterfly.
For younger goalies looking to have some growing room, we recommend having the kneecap no more than 2.5 cm or 1″ below the center of the knee stack.
