hockey socks

Leg padding sheaths

Hockey socks are the long, tube-like garments worn over shin guards in ice hockey, extending from the skate to mid-thigh.

They display team colors and numbers, held up by garter belts, Velcro, or tape.

Unlike regular socks, they're worn over protective equipment rather than directly on the foot: I need new hockey socks—these are shredded from skate cuts.
