Goal Pad Fitting Guidelines

Goal Pads

An easy way to properly estimate a goaltender's size for a pair of goal pads is to take the following three measurements:

 

* 1. Floor to mid-point of knee cap - _________" (A)

 

* 2. Mid-point of kneecap to desired height on thigh - _________" (B) - measurement is generally 2/3s of the inseam measurement from mid-point of kneecap up. If a taller pad is desired, 3/4 of this measurement can be used

 

* 3. Skate size - _________ x 0.75 = _________ (C) - only add up to size 10 skate as goal skate shells (cowlings) do not get larger over size 10.

 

* The estimated size of pads would then be (A) + (B) + (C). We also need goaltenders height to compare to the measurements, as it is very common for people to add to the "real" measurements and this can completely distort the required size.
