Hockey Elbow Pads - Page 21

Elbow pads are a critical component of any hockey equipment set. Elbow pads help protect your elbows from the impacts of hitting the ice, boards, or other players' sticks. The width of the pad is also important because it will help distribute impact over a larger area and avoid pressure points on your arms.

Hockey elbow pads should fit closely around the entire arm with no gaps. The elbow cup should be centered over your elbow joint and cover your biceps muscle completely. It's also important to ensure that the shoulder pads fit snugly against the body to prevent the elbow pad from moving up and down when playing.
