What size hockey jersey should I buy?
To choose the right hockey jersey size, it’s most important to measure your dimensions including chest, sleeve length and height. Jerseys should fit loosely over your protective gear without restricting movement. If you're between sizes, we recommended sizing up for extra comfort.
A jersey that's too large may restrict mobility and hinder gameplay, while one that's too tight can also affect performance. Use a size guide like our hockey jersey size chart to find the best fit based on your measurements.
What do you wear under your ice hockey jersey?
A hockey training jersey is designed to be breathable and fit comfortably over your base layer top, shoulder pads and elbow pads. Goalie jerseys are designed to fit all of the additional protective goalie equipment underneath too.
Are hockey jerseys supposed to be loose?
No matter whether you’re a goalie, defence or forward, your hockey jersey should fit loose enough over your body and protective gear, but tight enough so as not to restrict movement or catch on other players/equipment during gameplay.
If your jersey is too tight, it can restrict your movement and limit your range of motion. Tight jerseys can also put pressure on your pads, causing discomfort and affecting your gameplay. Choosing the right size jersey is all about balance; ensuring it's loose enough to stay comfortable while still offering a streamlined fit that won’t get in your way during the game.
