Abstract

An ankle and foot protector accessory for hockey players includes a front flexible vertically elongated rectangular instep protector pad constructed of fabric laminations having formed therebetween a vertical series of laterally elongated pockets, each holding an impact force attenuating shield made of a strip of hard, elastic material such as high density polyethylene (HDPE). Flexible laminated ankle protector pads protruding from opposite vertical sides of the instep protector pad are bendable over opposite sides of a skate and releasably secured by a strap and buckle protruding from opposed pads. Each ankle protector pad has a pocket holding an impact force attenuating shield consisting of a circular meniscus-shaped, outwardly convex shell made of an elastic material such as HDPE, which. reversibly deforms into a concave shape upon impact, thus attenuating forces transmitted to the ankles. Optionally, one or more shields may be backed by a resilient material such as a gel.
