Sledge hockey body armour, including shin pads and a lap piece, was designed to protect the thighs, knees, shins and outer legs of sledge hockey players. This equipment provides protection where contact can result from checking, slashing and being struck by the picks at the end of players’ sticks. The design of this equipment allows sledge hockey players to be sufficiently protected from injury while maintaining a tight fit to his/her sledge, thus increasing player performance.
