ilyazhito Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Is there a way to update old pads to make them legal to play with today? I'm a ball hockey goalie who has a pair of 12" wide Brian's Demons with thigh boards. I'd like to use them for ice hockey, but USA Hockey requires that leg pads be no wider than 11 inches. Could the pads be cut down, or would it make more sense to buy existing legal pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a job for the faint of heart, but can be done with regular tools. I imagine the pads in question use a core, in which you take 1/2” off each side of it and take in the sides of the face. If it were me, I would get legal pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Thanks. I'll ask both a pro shop and the store that originally sold me the Demons what the price for that would be. If it would be cheaper to buy legal pads, I'll do that and keep the Demons for ball hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
