How to Size Bauer Supreme Goalie Pads

When an opposing player rifles a slap shot toward a hockey goalie, the only thing he wants to worry about is making the save. Properly measuring the goalie for his leg pads will maximize protection. As of March 2011, Bauer was offering three models of Supreme goalie pads: Supreme one100 Pro, Supreme One80 and Supreme One60. Making precise measurements and knowing your skate size will help a goalie to wear proper fitting pads. Most junior goalie pads are sized between 24 and 30 inches, while senior (adult) sizes generally range from 32 to 36 inches.

Instructions

    • 1

      Know your hockey skate size. The proper length of the goalie pad's boot is determined by skate size. A more precise measurement takes into consideration the distance (in inches) from the tip of the big toe to the middle of the ankle bone.

    • 2

      Measure from the middle of the ankle bone to the middle of the kneecap with the leg in a slightly bent position.

    • 3

      Measure from the middle of the kneecap to midway up the thigh. Add the measurements together, plus one inch, to get the goalie leg pad size for Bauer Supreme pads. If the measurement falls between two goalie pad sizes, select the larger one for better protection.
