For more stability and less
abrasion when skating, hockey skates need to be tight.
BUYING KID'S SKATES
Avoid trying to save money by
buying children skates they can grow into. This can affect their ability
to
skate and could injure their feet and ankles.
FITTING SHIN PADS
Measure the distance from the
knee cap (patella) to the top of the foot to determine the proper shin
pad length.
