Glove (ice hockey)

Skaters gloves help prevent the hands getting bruised and battered and stops them from getting burned from the ice.

[citation needed] In today's hockey game, gloves will generally fall into two types of categories, the first being the traditional four-roll style.

[citation needed] Hockey players who choose the four-roll style have less resistance in their fingers and hands, so wearing the gloves feels less noticeable.

[citation needed] These have a much tighter fit than the four-roll gloves, and are designed to become an extension of the players' hand.

[citation needed] The tapered gloves are tight on the hand, but ergonomically designed for better wrist mobility and range of motion.
