For ball hockey goalie equipment, start with the current rulebook for your league and age group, then choose a set intended for street or ball hockey. Compare the exact included pieces and the product's stated ball compatibility: Franklin's Comp 100 junior set lists leg pads, a catch glove and blocker, with the helmet and chest pad sold separately. Use the size information for the exact set rather than treating junior labels as interchangeable.
Choose ball hockey goalie gear by checking the league rules, the complete set contents and the ball named by the gear maker. A product labelled a goalie set may leave important pieces outside the box. Franklin’s Comp 100 junior product page, for example, lists leg pads, a catch glove and blocker, and says its helmet and chest pad are not included.
Check rules before comparing sets
| Decision | What to check |
|---|---|
| League and age group | Read the current equipment rule for the specific competition. The CBHA rulebook lists a separate rule for goaltender equipment. |
| Included pieces | Compare the product’s exact list against the rule and the gear already owned. |
| Helmet and face protection | Check the league rule and helmet certification requirements separately from the pad-set description. |
| Ball compatibility | Match the ball type named by the manufacturer with the ball allowed by the league. |
The Canadian Ball Hockey Association’s equipment page lists its player equipment requirements and directs readers to the current rulebook. That online rulebook identifies Rule 23 as goaltender equipment. Leagues can use their own rule documents, so use the one that governs the games being played.
Compare what comes in the box
Franklin describes its Comp 100 Junior Street Goalie Set as a street hockey set. Its product page lists two size options: the junior small/medium version includes 23-inch leg pads, an 11-inch catch glove and a 13-inch blocker; the junior large/extra-large version lists 26-inch pads, an 11-inch catch glove and a 14-inch blocker. The page says a helmet and chest pad are not included.
That is one model-specific example, not a sizing conversion for other brands. Compare the complete product description, its size choices and adjustment instructions, then try the full set on with any pieces purchased separately.
Match the ball and surface
Read the intended ball size on the exact set page. Franklin specifies its Comp 100 junior set for official 2 5/8-inch street hockey balls. The Canadian Ball Hockey Association publishes its own ball guidance for member leagues, including product identifiers and temperature categories. Follow the equipment instructions and league rules that apply to the game.
