Did your expensive hockey gloves rip while playing with them, putting a hole in your palm and an even bigger hole in your wallet? Well, do not fret, as this guide to repairing a hole in your hockey glove works for all shapes, sizes, and most importantly, sticks within your budget.
Wear and tear is a natural thing that occurs on hockey gloves as they are used over time. Often, it is possible to repair holes on the palm to avoid having to pay for replacements.
Make sure to inspect the glove before following through with the following steps. It is important to keep in mind that some holes are too large to fix. If the wear covers more than unworn portion of the glove, it may be time to replace the whole palm.
