Hockey Shin Guards

Hockey shin guards stand between a player’s legs and the blistering impacts of slashing sticks and high-speed pucks, making them an essential part of any kit. Whether you’re shopping for your child’s first set of gear or replacing your own worn-out pads, we’ve got you covered. Pure Hockey offers models for players of all ages, from youth and junior hockey shin guards to larger intermediate and senior shin guard sizes.

Bauer, CCM, and Warrior design ice hockey shin guards in a range of fit profiles to suit the needs and styles of every player in the rink. Speedy forwards will find anatomical, contoured shin guards with the most advanced lightweight protective tech on the market. Defensemen who prefer classic, boxy hockey shin guards will find several options in this collection. For wingers and other players who like a mix of traditional padding with an anatomical feel, tapered shin guards will do the trick.

Find a durable pair of shin pads to protect you during a rec league match or pond pickup game.
