Ice Hockey Goalie Pads
The first padding worn by a hockey goalie on the ice was made of a layer of foam wrapped with a piece of leather. The additional padding helped protect against flying pucks, but as the goalie got wet during the game, the foam soaked up all of the moisture. Today, you'll find leg pads, gloves, chest protectors, elbow pads and other protective equipment that will keep you dry and warm so you can focus on the game. Goalie leg pads are important to help you stop the puck and cover as much of the goal as legally possible while providing protection. For kids, leg pads with plastic clips can be easy to close and open, while adults will enjoy the durability of pads with metal clips. To figure out the size of goalie pads you need, add the measurement of your leg from your ankle to the top of your kneecap plus the measurement from the middle of your kneecap to halfway up your thigh.

Making sure your upper body can absorb the hit is very important and a good chest pad will protect your chest and heart with foam and/or an air cushion. Look for a chest protector that also provides the padding you need for your clavicle, extended shoulder caps and biceps. Leg pads range from around $150 to over $1,000 and chest pads start at around $125. At Hockey Empire, we want you to have the best protection a goalie can have at a rate you can afford.
