Pondering new gloves

[sonsplayhockey 0]

I have an old pair of Mylec gloves.

They were given to me 7 years ago and were already about 5 or so years old at the time.

I think they are inline gloves

They are extreamly comfortable.

I don't think they offer as much protection as modern ice gloves.

Very broken in, flexable and never come off my hands.

I forgot them and borrowed some Ice hockey gloves for my Ice game last week.

Not only were they much heavier but the thumb barely was movable. I hated them.

I'm in a no check league and this is my first year playing.

Do I need the added protection for some reason I don't know about or just leave it be?

More protection usually means heavier. If you don't feel the need for added protection, stick with what you have.

Silly question, but did you have your thumb in the slot which let's it bend or tucked up in behind it.

I would recommend picking up a pair of regular hockey gloves. In rec leagues your hands can take a beating from slashes, hacks, whacks, and the occasional puck across the hands.

I put my thumb where naturally fit. I"ll pay more attention next time I'm at the store.

I was just saying so because I've seen other people who haven't worn regular hockey gloves before do the same thing. They don't slide their thumb into the forward slot.
