Why a hockey knee brace is essential
Every stride, stop, and sudden turn puts extreme pressure on your knees. Quick changes of direction and collisions increase the risk of injury, like a meniscus tear or a ligament sprain. A hockey knee brace provides stability and protection for your joints through targeted compression and stabilizing elements. With the right support, you move with more confidence and protect your performance in the long term.
Beyond knee protection, hockey players need comprehensive joint support on the ice. Your ankles and calves work just as hard during every shift. That's why we also offer ankle braces designed for hockey to protect against sprains and maintain stability in your skates, plus compression socks and sleeves to boost circulation, reduce muscle fatigue, and speed up recovery between games
Prevent injury
Investing in a quality hockey knee brace is one of the smartest ways to prevent serious injuries and protect your game. A well-designed knee support provides external stability and medical-grade compression to help prevent ACL and MCL sprains, meniscus tears, and general knee pain from hockey. Bauerfeind Sports knee braces are engineered for advanced joint protection, featuring innovative compressive knit and functional stabilizing elements that deliver targeted support and noticeable pain relief. By activating the surrounding muscles, they enhance coordination, balance, and stability on the ice reducing the risk of overextension, ligament damage, and other common hockey knee injuries during high-impact play.
Improve your recovery
A knee brace plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, helping athletes regain strength, stability, and confidence after injury. By providing targeted compression and support, a quality knee brace promotes circulation, aligns the joint, and activates surrounding muscles to speed up healing. Bauerfeind Sports knee braces are engineered for optimal recovery, featuring an anatomical fit and lightweight, breathable knit that deliver lasting comfort throughout rehab. German-designed stabilization technology helps restore natural movement and control so you can return to skating, training, and performing at your best.

FAQ
What is the difference between a knee support and a knee sleeve?
A knee support provides more structure and stability, often using components like stays or pads to guide movement and protect the joint during intense activity. A knee sleeve offers targeted compression to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support muscle performance and recovery.
Can I wear a Bauerfeind knee support under my hockey gear?
Yes. Bauerfeind Sports knee supports are lightweight, slim, and anatomically designed to fit comfortably under your hockey pads. The breathable compression knit provides stability and freedom of movement without bulk, so you can skate, turn, and shoot naturally while staying fully protected on the ice.
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 knee 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.
