Girl's Elite A9 Cut Resistant Shorts

Girls Elite A9 Cut Resistant Shorts

Pucktive’s Girls Elite A9 Cut Resistant Shorts represent the highest level of cut protection available within Pucktive’s youth lineup, designed for competitive athletes who want maximum hockey skate blade protection in a streamlined high waisted compression short without integrated Jill support.

Built for elite and high intensity youth hockey environments, these shorts help reduce the risk of skate blade injuries during heavy contact, crease scrambles, board battles, and fast paced game situations.
