What are your suggestions for goalie pads. Got a 14 year old goalie, 5'8". Plays a hybrid/Butterfly sort of style. Typically has worn pads that aren't "ball knockers" as the goalie coaches say, so pads are low on thigh.
Checked out a video on measuring and it says ankle bone to mid knee and then knee to mid thigh. Then you add skate size, which has me kind of baffled as to why.
Never played goal and do not profess to have a clue what I am doing, which is why I seek out a good goalie coach with every team I get involved with.
Also, break, double break, no break -- which is the best for style of play?
