Honestly... the easiest way to cover up the backhand is just to stick a piece of sticky side Velcro to a piece of fabric and shove it in there. True used to do that with all of their gloves with removable palms and it works pretty well and it is considerably easier than sewing on the inside of the glove.

The best way is to find an old pair of gloves and remove the backhand liner at the cuff roll then it’s just a matter of sewing it in. Or you could take some material and sew a 4 inch by 4 inch square of material and then put some foam in it and sew that in to the glove.

No thanks. I wear Senior Small. But, I have a newer pair of Easton elbow pads I bought but only played one season with.

Thanks everyone for the ideas I’m going to buy a used pair of low end gloves prob later this week and try the Velcro and then if I hate that then I’ll try sewing it on. I don’t care what it looks like I just don’t like the rubbing. The volume is a bit much as i wear 13 usually. Again I appreciate all the advice

Well, if U need a pair Senior Medium, msg me.....

It's fabric-covered, square thin foam flap that is attached at the edge of the cuff. So, the back of your hand makes contact with this square pad. Your wrist and forearm are above this foam thing. Your fingers are below this foam thing. In this picture, it is sewn to the cuff of the glove, next to the left of that flag patch. The other three sides of the square are not sewn to the glove.

The only thing that impacts bad leagues is when lots of teams start leaving. No amount of captains complaining about this, that, and the other has any impact on how leagues are run as long as the league is still getting their money.

Removal of the backhand pads is fairly common on pro stock gloves. I always check that and the thumb loop's. I've seen poron pads cut for Bauer gloves on sideline in the past.

I had a similar issue with a pair of gloves that had their backhand liners removed, and a short term fix was to cut an old hiking sock in half and place it in the backhand area. Volume reduction was the main reason for me, rather than issue rubbing on the stitching. If you have an old pair of gloves (or a pair you're willing to scrap) then having the liners from those in the gloves "floating" should work for a while until you can get some stitched in.

Ironically, the S13 were the first Easton elbow pads I bought and were really good for me.

Unfortunately they don't work for everyone, I have a barely used pair of S13 pads that I tried but found the Reebok 18k/20k style of straps to be best for me.

I stopped playing beer league around 15 years ago, because of the same issues many described in the thread. One bad apple doesn't spoil a whole bunch, but a slew of rotten apples takes the fun out of playing. Since then, I've played elite level pickup with a bunch of private ice time slot purchased guys, but most of my time on the ice has come from coaching 8U through 14U teams. It's been way more rewarding giving back to the kids and seeing their game elevate over time. It's a lot more fun than playing around a bunch of losers hoping some 'ghost of Christmas past' scout stumbles their way into the rink.
