Presented by
From the InGoal Radio Podcast’s weekly gear segment, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports — Kevin Woodley and Cam Matwiv break down this gear in the video above.
Key Takeaways
- Warrior goalie knee pads are engineered to affect butterfly positioning, not just provide protection.
- Knee pad construction influences leg pad flare and how pads seal against the ice in the butterfly.
- Hip rotation and lateral movement can be impacted by the fit and bulk of knee pad design.
- Selecting the right knee pads is a functional equipment decision tied directly to a goalie's style of play.
- Goalies who rely heavily on the butterfly should evaluate knee pads as part of their overall gear system, not in isolation.
