This manual will assist you in selecting shoulder guards that suit you optimally.
Hockey shoulder pads offer protection not only to the shoulders but also to the upper chest, upper arms, back, collarbone, and spine. These pads shield you during tackles and from the impact of the puck. For defensive players, thick padding is advisable, whereas offensive players might prefer a more lightweight and smaller design to gain increased agility.
Determining the correct hockey shoulder pad size
The appropriate size for you is dictated by your body measurements. To measure, wrap the tape around your chest just below the underarms.
Sizes differ across various brands. Below is a chart that offers a useful guide to the size you require, based on both your measurements and height:
| Model | Measurement | Height (approx.) |
| Child | 51 - 56 cm (20" - 22") | < 120 cm (< 4') |
| Junior small | 56 - 61 cm (22" - 24") | 120 - 134 cm (4' - 4' 6") |
| Junior Medium | 61 - 71 cm (24" - 28") | 134 - 147 cm (4' 6" - 4' 11") |
| Junior Large | 71 - 76 cm (28" - 30") | 147 - 160 cm (4' 11" - 5' 4") |

Evaluating the quality of shoulder guards
