How do you know what size shin guards will be good?
When you play ice hockey, you need protection. Getting a puck on your shin or knee hurts. At Hockeystore you can buy shin guards for children, youth and adults, no matter what level they play at. The correct size of shin guards is measured by placing a shin guard against the leg, making sure the knee is centered in the kneecap, then you should have about 2-3 fingers from the end of the shin guard until the foot touches the ground. Then you have room for the skate. If you have too long shin guards, the skate will rub against the guard and push up the shin guard. If you have too short a shin guard, there will be a gap between the shield and the skate and you risk getting injured.
