I think he's full of crap. Anybody have any insight on this? By "this" I mean whether or not there actually is a difference in construction between junior and senior skates, not whether or not my teammate is generally full of crap. CCM started making their top end skates in a 5. By extension would that mean there might be a major difference in the materials and protectiveness of, say, a senior 14" glove and an intermediate Its been discussed here before, pretty sure it depends on size and model.
Lots of adults wearing 5. I'm a 5'5 adult and I wear size 4. I can't tell you much about the difference in stiffness, because well, I've never worn senior skates, but I can tell you if I grip my skate on the eyelet side and squeeze as hard as I can, the skate barely budges. If I squeeze on the heel side, it's a rock. In terms of protection, I've taken plenty of shots off the foot, toe, and heel, andknock on woodworst I got of it was a light bruise on my heel that went away after a few days.

Always check the sizing charts when you're ordering protective gear. Hockey sticks are usually offered in youth, junior, intermediate and senior sizes. Not only are the sticks different lengths, they also differ in diameter and flexibility. The difference in shaft diameter is slight, but noticeable, and corresponds to the average hand size of the players in each age group. Shaft length increases by about " as you move up from one age group to the next i.
Hockey shaft flexibility is measured by the amount of force in lbs required in order to flex the shaft 1" in the center. Here's a general breakdown of hockey stick shaft flexibility, length and age group sizing:.
Sizing can be a bit confusing when it comes to apparel. The biggest problem is that each manufacturer seems to be operating on a different set of sizing standards.
In addition, the terms "boy's", "children's", "youth", and "junior" are often used interchangeably. But, sometimes they are used concurrently, identifying separate and distinct size ranges.
Most commonly, "junior" and "youth" are used interchangeably in apparel sizing, but there are instances, as rare as they may be, where youth sizes are smaller than junior sizes. The same can be said of "boy's" and "children's" sizes. Most hockey skate brands fit 1. Bauer has three lines of skates; Vapor, Supreme, and Nexus.
The Vapor line shown in red of Bauer skates will feature a wider toe box and a narrow V-fit at the heel and ankle providing players with a tapered fit. This fit will really lock the heel into place for a stable and mobile feel. The Supreme skates shown in yellow will feature a natural, close to the foot feel around the entire foot for an anatomical feel.
Thanks to this fit, it will reduce empty space with the boot, resulting in more efficient strides. And the Nexus line shown in blue has a wide volume fit from toe to heel providing players with a classic, traditional fit. This fit will provide players with a wider, more comfortable feel.
Along with skate fit, all three lines have the option to get different boot widths as well, depending on your preference. When getting new skates, you will want to put them on, and feel if your toe barely touches the toe cap. If so, that is what you want.
You can also lean forward while in the skates and slide a pen down the inside of the boot, just behind your heel.
