Buyer's Guide: Sizing for Kids
Finding the right size pants is about finding the sweet spot between "too restrictive" and "swimming in gear."
1. Waist Measurement (The Key)
Hockey pants should fit snugly around the natural waist (above the hips). Measure the circumference of their waist in inches.
- Youth Small (Ages 3-5): Waist 20" - 21"
- Youth Large (Ages 7-9): Waist 22" - 23"
- Junior Small (Ages 9-11): Waist 23" - 25"
- Junior Large (Ages 11-13): Waist 27" - 29"
2. The Length Test
Have your child kneel on the floor. The bottom of the pant leg should lightly touch the floor. If it bunches up, they are too long. If it's 2 inches off the ground, they are too short and their knees will be exposed.
3. The "Growth Zipper"
Look for Bauer and CCM models with a +1 Extension. This is a zipper hidden around the waist. When your child hits a growth spurt, you unzip it, and the pants instantly become 1 inch longer. This is a lifesaver for parents.
