Youth hockey glove buying tips

At the youth hockey level, you should prioritize fit, comfort and level of protection over cost and brand name when you’re buying gear. This rule applies even more when you're buying hockey protective gear such as gloves. While you’re still growing, there’s really no need to buy brand new hockey gloves, and you don’t need the latest version of hockey gloves either. That’s where SidelineSwap comes in.

We have a great selection of gently used hockey gloves that are perfect for the player who is just starting out, or who isn’t full grown yet. Check out any of our youth size hockey gloves from CCM, Bauer, Easton, and more. To get your child's correct glove fit, you need to measure the distance from the base of his or her palm to the tip of their middle finger and multiply the measurement (in inches) by two. Their wrist should be fully covered by the cuff of the glove and their fingertips shouldn't protrude past the end of their glove’s fingertips. Gloves that are too small won't offer adequate protection, while gloves that are too large will inhibit mobility.
