Additional Information: QUESTIONS TO ANSWER…
What is the “Interest in Online Goalie Fitting Prior to an Event/Camp” option? QUESTION #10
(Free equipment fitting events can ignore this)
As a part of registering with The Goalie Academy it is required to fill out a goalie equipment form. We are dedicated to ensuring that every goalie that we work with has access to gear and is equipped properly. Once the Paperwork is handed in, we review each players’ forms and pictures. If the equipment appears to be fitting correctly, we put the paperwork aside until the goalie is ready for new gear. If the equipment appears to not be fitting correctly one of our goalie equipment specialists will be reaching out to go over the equipment fitting information and schedule a time to have either an in-person or virtual goalie fitting.
If you want to guarantee that we call or meet with you at the rink, please write YES.
If you do not wish to hear from us, please write NO. We will not contact you so long as we do not have any concerns with the current fit of your goalies equipment.
What is the “Interest in help finding gear” option? QUESTION #8 If Yes please Email us ASAP
Goalie equipment shopping is exciting, but it comes with many challenges and can at times be very stressful. Oftentimes I get questions from parents such as…. When should we be thinking about new gear? How can you tell if gear no longer fits? What brands and pad styles would you recommend for my goalie? Is It Safe for my goalie to be in slightly used gear? How long do you recommend they stay in slightly used gear? Where can I go to make buying gear more affordable? What website or person should I trust because they all contradict one another? I don’t have easy access to a hockey store, what do I do?
To lessen the stress on goalie parents and goalies we have developed a personal shopper program where we meet with goalies and their parents to answer any questions and help guide them through the goalie fitting and buying equipment process.
To find out more information on this Service write YES next to the blank and one of our experts will be in contact with you. Otherwise contact Hannah Shultz by email at [email protected].

HOCKEY SKATE SIZING GUIDE
A poor fitting skate can create bad habits and breakdown prematurely while holding back skate performance. Choosing the correct skate size is important. Going too big will result in blisters and a noticable decrease in skating ability due to a lack of ankle stability. A strong stride comes from having a boot working in unison with the foot of the player. consistent foot pain is comon with players that use skates they have outgrown. The bones in the foot are cramped and put under considerable pressure with each stride. The tightness of the boot leads to a loss of circulation, limiting the function o fthe foot.
A proper fit for hockey skates should fit 1-1.5 sizes smaller than your street shoes. Your toes should barely touch the toe cap, while having no more than 1/4" of space in the heel. When you're finished lacing up your skates, they should feel snug with your foot resting flat on the footbed. when sizing children, follow the same method while allowing 1/2 size extra for growing room. Most skates use this formula (1 to 1.5 sizes down from shoe size), except pre-2010 Mission skates which run true to shoe size.

*Female Skaters*
The difference between men's shoes and women's shoes is 1.5 to 2 sizes.

More simply put, go 3 sizes down from your women's shoe size in order to find your hockey skate size.
