Slash guards/ elbow pad extensions Ovechkin wears?

Recommended Posts

What are those white hard plastic elbow pad extensions ovechkin and other players wear. what brand, where to buy and how much. They kinda look like a type of slash guard . Somtimes you can see ovi wearing them because his jersey is rolled up a little bit. I just recovered from a bad broken wrist from a slash. plz help

Sry I can't provide any info. but I, too, just got back from a broken wrist. I went to my hospitals rehabilitation store and bought a double sided support wrist brace. I have been wearing it for 2 months and it has worked like a charm.

Old JOFA slash guard - it has a Velcro attachment (won't work on newer RBK/JOFA with the jersey mesh, my elbows are prostock 5044 leather cap) and an elastic strap that goes over your wrist. I cut them off and leave it floating. They don't make them anymore - I bought this last pair from the Giant about 6 years ago. Perhaps someone in Sweden can help you.

I think Ovechkin is wearing two - one under and one over.

I got a pair of these laying around the house. I think I paid like $8.00 or so for them. I always thought about taking the elastic wrist strap off.

It would take some searching because like JR said, about 6 years ago sounds right for the last time I'd seen them at retail. I had some a couple years ago and my brother's taken to them and has them on his pads now. I still use old-ass Canuck-branded wrist protectors from a company I can't even see the name of on them.

Have me a pair of those. they arent anything like the one shown above by JR. They are basically a terry wristband with like 4 thin plastic inserts. Got them on hockeygiant for 4.00 a while back. They tear on the seams pretty easy, got some plastic stickin outta mine. (then again, my forearms arent skinny so they stretch when i put them on) The're decent, but dont think i would have paid 20 bucks for them...

I used to hate wristband-style ones. The Jofa ones give you total movement. There are a lot of NHL guys still in it. There used to be an older Jofa model that had it integrated into the pad.

They are pretty easy to make. I made a few pairs for the guys on my team a few seasons ago. I sewed them to the pad instead of making them velcro off/on but it shouldn't be much different. One of these days when I have some free time at the rink I'll see what I can come up with.

you know what would work out perfectly, the toe protecter from a catcher leg pad for baseball, go visit your local play it again and snag a cheap pair and rip them off?

I used the toe protector as a bit of an extra ankle protection (dangles from my shin pad)

I could definitely see it working if you sew it onto the edge of a elbow pad. I'm sure a shoe repair shop could do it if you can't sew it on your own.
