Just Hockey Pro Tip
With junior shoulder pads, proper sizing is more important than leaving excessive room for growth. The shoulder caps should sit directly over the player's shoulders, while the chest and back panels should provide appropriate torso coverage without interfering with the hockey pants.
Have the player hold their stick and go through normal shooting, passing, and stickhandling movements. The CCM S26 Tacks Vector Plus Junior Shoulder Pads should stay securely positioned without restricting arm movement or upper-body rotation.
