Upprunalega fréttin hér

The IIHF Semi-Annual Congress approved the proposal of a general down-sizing of the goalkeeper equipment. The new goalkeeper equipment measurements for leg guards, catching glove and blocking glove will be, in general, reduced by around 10 percent.

The new measurements will apply for all IIHF Top Pool and Division I World Championships, as of the start of the 2006-2007 season. The Division II and Division III levels of the IIHF World Championship program have a two-year grace period for the down-sizing of the equipment.

The new goalkeeper equipment measurements will conform with the recent down-sizing of goalkeeper’s equipment in the National Hockey League.
