When shopping for shoulder pads, consider both your height and chest size. To find your chest size (or circumference), wrap a measuring tape under your armpits at the fullest part of your chest. Note that different brands have slight variations in sizing, so consult both sellers and brand websites for more information before making a purchase.

Size Age Height Chest (in)
Youth Small 3-4 3'2" - 3'11"     20 - 23"
Youth Medium 4-6 3'6" - 3'11"     22 - 25"
Youth Large 7-8 3'10" - 4'4"     24 - 27"
Junior Small 7-9 4'4" - 4'7"     26 - 29"
Junior Medium 8-11 4'5" - 4'11"     28 - 31"
Junior Large 10-13 4'10" - 5'3"     30 - 34"
Senior Small 16+ 5'6" - 5'11"     36 - 41"
Senior Medium 18+ 5'9" - 6'2"     39 - 43"
Senior X-Large 18+ 6'1" +     44" +

Hockey involves collisions, body checks, and falls. Shoulder pads help shield the upper body from injury. Specifically, they protect the shoulders, collarbone, and upper chest area from impacts, which can be intense when players slam into each other or the boards.

Shoulder pads also have extra padding around the neck and biceps. Plus, they’re designed to be lightweight and flexible so players can move quickly without feeling too restricted.

The combination of protection and mobility is key in a high-contact sport like hockey.

Here’s how to go about selecting the right shoulder pads:

  1. Fit: The pads should be snug but not restrictive, covering your shoulders, collarbones, and chest.
  2. Protection Level: Choose based on your playing level—beginner players can go lighter, while advanced players need more protection.
  3. Comfort: Look for breathable padding, adjustable straps, and good ventilation to stay cool.
  4. Protection Areas: Ensure good coverage for the shoulders, chest, and spine, plus bicep guards if needed.
  5. Weight: Lighter pads are more mobile, but heavier pads offer more protection.
  6. Brand & Budget: High-end brands like Bauer or CCM offer great protection, but there are affordable options as well.
  7. Try Them On: Always test the fit and mobility before buying to ensure they’re comfortable.

Choosing the right shoulder pads is about balancing protection, comfort, and mobility for your level of play.
