Vaughn Hockey specializes in goalie equipment and is worn by many of today's top NHL goaltenders including Cam Ward, Niklas Backstrom and Brian Boucher.
Sizing Vaughn Goalie Leg Pads
An easy way to properly estimate a goaltender's size for a pair of goal pads is to take the following three measurements:
1) Floor to mid-point of knee cap - _________"(A)
2) Mid-point of kneecap to desired height on thigh - _________"(B) measurement is generally 2/3s of the inseam measurement from mid-point of kneecap up. If a taller pad is desired, 3/4 of this measurement can be used
3) Skate size - _________ x 0.75 = _________ (C) only add up to size 10 skate as goal skate shells (cowlings) do not get larger over size 10.
The estimated size of pads would then be (A) + (B) + (C). We also need goaltenders height to compare to the measurements, as it is very common for people to add to the "real" measurements and this can completely distort the required size.
