Starting LTP soon and would love a fit check pls. 🙏 I'm 5'6 115lbs, Pure Hockey fit me as a juniors large in pants/elbow/shoulder pads, 12" shin guards, 12" gloves. I bought a combo of new/used stuff.

Specific concerns:

-Gap between elbow pads and gloves (is that normal?)

-Shouler pads: Wearing a Intermediate M in the photos but it seems too wide maybe. My collar bones are not covered and it sticks up around the neck. Bauer doesn't seem to have a juniors L... it goes Int. L, int. M, juniors M, juniors S, so I could try a juniors M next?

-Shin guards: Maybe too short?

ETA: Thanks for being so responsive everyone! I bit the bullet and ordered shoulder pads, 14" shin guards and pants from the CCM FTW line (women's)... hoping they will fit my narrow/lanky frame better. Got some good advice for the gaps between gloves and elbow pads too.

BTW I'm a 30 yo adult so long term goal is purely fun/beer league. I start in less than 2 weeks!!

I signed up for the summer Adult Learn to Play at KCI in Seattle. I am 30 years old and have zero hockey experience. I'm not sure how to gauge my skating experience either. I've been going to public skate and can skate laps no problem and have been practicing basic skills with some success: forward and backwards wiggles/swizzles, c cuts, forward crossovers, snowplow stop. But I did not do any LTS sessions and still feel I'm in an awkward phase.

The program says no hockey experience required but you must be able to "skate the full rink unassisted".

How intense/serious is the Adult Learn to Play? Does it sound like I'm prepared enough? It's not like it will be my first time ever on skates.

I've been burned before on "no experience required" sport programs (roller derby) so I just want to know what to expect.

Can I get a fit check?

Anyone familiar with KCI Learn to Play (Seattle)?
