HOCKEY SHOOTING PAD INFO
✍️ Materials
Many people want to know what material is used in hockey shooting pads. Most shooting pad for hockey pads are made out of High-density polyethylene or HDPE, which is a special type of slippery plastic. HDPE is also used to make milk jugs, hockey dasher boards, and rails / boxes used for snowboarding and skiing. While some hockey shooting pad alternatives offer a smooth surface, only a real hockey shooting pad can offer a smooth and slippery surface.
✍️HOCKEY SHOOTING PAD SIZES
The hockey shooting pads come in a variety of sizes the most common sizes are
Junior – 24 inches wide by 48 long and 1/8 of an inch thick
Intermediate 28 inches wide by 52 inches long and 3/16 of an inch thick
Professional shooting pads which are 30 inches wide by 60 inches long and 3/16 of an inch thick.
Shooting pad sizes for hockey
✍️ what pad size should you choose?
The smaller sizes are very affordable and good for younger players or as something to start with. My first shooting pad was a junior size and I used it purely for shooting. If you will be doing mostly shooting than a small size will be good for you If you are older and will be using your shooting pad a lot I strongly recommend a larger shooting pad.
The larger shooting pads are great because you have enough room to practice a variety of stock handling moves. Large hockey shooting boards also provide enough room for a full wrist shot and room to line up a few pucks for slapshots. Another great benefit of the pads are that they last a very long time
✍️Durability
These boards are great when it comes to durability, we tested the pro shooting pad which is 3/16 of an inch thick, sounds thin but we hammered about 1000 shots off of this board and there were no signs of wear (just a lot of tape marks) During the slapshot challenge I have been taking about 1000 – 2000 shots every week and there is absolutely no wear on the plastic (once again, just tape marks)
Research shows that HDPE piping is expected to last up to 100 years, this is the same material that the hockey shooting pads are made from. Shooting pads are thinner, but my first pad lasted 3 years with no signs of wear (it went missing after that)
✍️PRICE OF HOCKEY SHOOTING PADS
Shooting pads usually range from $35 – $110 depending on what size you get, quality, and thickness. My shooting pad of preference is the pro hockey shooting pad because it provides a lot of room for stick handling and passing, and I can even hook up a pass master to the end and practice one timers.
