When looking to size up you ice hockey gloves, you should allow for ample movement of the wrist and fingers while preventing hyperextension of the thumb.
The ‘Feel’ or type of Fit is up to each individual player preference, but the glove should protect the fingers and hands from sticks. Gloves come in both tapered and loose fits for the fingers.
Your preference will similarly dictate whether you want a longer or shorter cuff. A longer cuff will provide more protection at the expense of mobility. A shorter cuff will provide mobility at the expense of slash protection.
To determine the size of a hockey glove, measure between your fingers to elbow. *
Each hockey glove varies depending on what brand you choose.
