How to Fit Reebok Goalie Pads

Protective equipment is a vital part of playing ice hockey. Injuries are likely to occur if a participant does not wear the necessary protection, or if the equipment she is wearing is damaged or ill-fitting. Goalies are particularly susceptible to injury, as they are protecting the goal from a puck that is flying through the air at great speed. It can be difficult to find leg pads that fit correctly, but there is a simple way to ensure that you know what size to buy.
