Hockey gloves protect the hand and wrist without loss of flexibility or comfort
It is okay for gloves to be a little large, as long as the padding covers all areas of the hand and wrist
Gloves range from youth sizes of about 7 inches up to full adult sizes of 15 inches
Use a tape measure to measure the distance from where your elbow pad ends to the tip of your fingers
This number equals your glove size
Different manufacturers use different sizing methods, but the chart below is a good indicator of the glove size you should buy based on the above measurement
