Size Guide
hockey fit.
Hockey gear is the most complex sizing in mainstream sports — every piece is age + height + weight matrixed. Skates run 1–1.5 sizes smaller than your street shoe. Get fitted in-store for skates and helmets if at all possible; mail-order works for everything else.
Jerseys (over pads)
Hockey jerseys are designed to fit over shoulder pads. Order one size up from your normal apparel size for a true game fit.
| Size | Chest (in) | Height |
|---|---|---|
| S | 34–37 | 5'7"–5'9" |
| M | 38–41 | 5'9"–5'11" |
| L | 42–44 | 5'11"–6'1" |
| XL | 46–48 | 6'1"–6'3" |
| XXL | 50–52 | 6'3"–6'5" |
Skates (Senior — most adults)
Skates fit 1–1.5 sizes smaller than US shoe size. Toes should just brush the toe cap when standing.
| US shoe (men) | Senior skate size |
|---|---|
| 7.5 | 6 |
| 8.5 | 7 |
| 9.5 | 8 |
| 10.5 | 9 |
| 11.5 | 10 |
| 12.5 | 11 |
| 13.5 | 12 |

|---|---|
| S | 52–56 cm |
| M | 55–59 cm |
| L | 58–62 cm |
| XL | 61–64 cm |
Gloves (length in inches)
Measured tip-of-cuff to tip-of-finger.
| Glove size | Player height |
|---|---|

| 13" | 5'4"–5'7" |
| 14" | 5'7"–5'10" |

Fit notes
- Skate width: D = standard, EE = wide. Widths are stamped inside the boot. Bauer runs narrowest, CCM medium, True/Graf widest.
- Sticks: cut to mouth height (off ice) or chin height (on skates). Flex rating ≈ half your weight — 150 lb player runs a 75 flex.
- Goalie gear sizing is entirely separate — pads, blocker, catcher, mask all have their own charts. See manufacturer for goalie-specific.
