Why an ankle support matters in hockey?
The fast, high-impact nature of hockey places constant stress on your ankles and feet. Hockey players face frequent risks of sprains or recurring ankle injuries because of the high-intensity movements inside a rigid skate. An ankle brace provides extra stability and support, helping you stay protected while maintaining the mobility you need for fast play.
Benefits of a High-Quality Hockey Ankle Brace
A high-quality ankle brace does more than protect: it enhances performance and confidence on the ice. Bauerfeind Sports ankle supports use medical-grade compression, anatomical design, and stabilizing elements to boost joint stability and muscle activation. With breathable 3D AirKnit material, you’ll stay cool, comfortable, and supported through every shift.
Improve your recovery
Bauerfeind Sports ankle supports promote recovery with targeted compression that improves circulation and reduces swelling after play. Enhanced blood flow speeds muscle repair and eases soreness, while stabilization prevents strain, helping you move naturally and recover faster between games. For full-leg circulation support, many players also wear compression socks for hockey to reduce fatigue and speed up recovery.

Move with Power. Play with Confidence.
At Bauerfeind Sports Canada, we believe every hockey player deserves the same advanced protection trusted by professionals. The Sports Ankle Support is more than just protection, it’s a key part of your balance, agility, and control on the ice. Every stride, stop, and sharp turn challenges your ankles, and that’s where Bauerfeind makes the difference. With medical-grade compression and German-engineered design, our ankle supports help stabilize your joints, reduce swelling, and prevent sprains so you can move with confidence, power, and precision every shift.
For players looking to protect multiple joints, consider pairing your ankle support with a knee brace for hockey to reduce the risk of injury across your entire leg. This combination gives you better stability and confidence on the ice, especially during intense games or when recovering from previous injuries.

FAQ
What is the difference between an ankle support and an ankle sleeve?
An ankle support offers structured stability with straps or pads that control movement and help prevent sprains. An ankle sleeve focuses on compression and comfort, improving circulation and reducing swelling to enhance endurance and recovery.
Can I wear a Bauerfeind ankle support in my hockey skate?
Yes. Bauerfeind Sports Ankle Supports are slim, lightweight, and anatomically contoured, making them easy to wear and comfortable inside your hockey skate. They provide targeted stability and support without restricting movement — giving you confident, controlled performance on every run.
How do I choose the right size?
To ensure optimal performance and comfort, it’s important to follow the product-specific measurement charts and instructions on each Bauerfeind Sports product page. Our products are anatomically designed and rely on precise measurements to guarantee the correct fit. The right size means optimal compression, stability, and freedom of movement — so your gear supports you exactly as it should.
How do I care for my ankle support?
Bauerfeind Sports Supports and Sleeves are machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent (no bleach or fabric softener). Lay flat to air dry; do not tumble dry or hang, as it can stretch the fabric. Regular washing helps maintain compression and performance.
