Strengthen Your Ankles With The Hockey Ankle Braces
You cannot give your best in a hockey match if your ankle is not feeling alright. Since you need to make quick starts, stops, and turns during a game of hockey, it is quite common to suffer from a sprained ankle after a match. To ensure that your ankles are in good condition throughout the match, you need to protect and strengthen them with the right kind of ankle braces. At Vero Ankle™, we have developed something like that.
The hockey ankle brace from Vero Ankle™ wraps around your ankle perfectly and offers the right amount of stability and support to bring out your best during a high-voltage game. The braces are specially designed to meet the ankle support requirements of professional hockey players. The adjustable velcro straps and the adaptable hinge on our hockey ankle support let you choose the perfect compression level at your ankle.
The Vero Ankle™ - Best Ankle Brace & Support For Hockey Players
Since a hockey player is always on the move, it becomes important to find braces that remain effective throughout the game. Unlike the ankle tapes that lose their effectiveness within the first fifteen minutes of applying, the Vero Ankle™ hockey ankle support retains its shape even after going through a lot of strain and tension. The BioMemory™ material used in the braces stretches dynamically and returns to its original shape when tensioned. As the ankle remains stable without losing its mobility, it can reach its full potential during the game.
If you are worried that wearing ankle braces for the entire duration of the game may cause skin irritation, Vero Ankle™ has a solution for you. Our hockey ankle brace is made of breathable material with perforated holes in the boot. This offers enough airflow to the ankle, preventing the buildup of sweat, which often causes skin irritation. You can also add or remove the padded inserts from the braces to decide the level of support you need at your ankle.

FAQs about Ankle Braces for Hockey
Can an Ankle Brace Prevent Injuries in Hockey?
Wearing ankle braces during a hockey match can provide your ankles with some level of protection from ankle sprains and injuries. However, they cannot guarantee the complete prevention of injuries. The ankle braces only offer external support to the ankle joint, ensuring it does not roll or twist awkwardly. The ankle braces keep the joint stable, which reduces the risk of ankle injuries. Poor technique, lack of warm-up, and loss of concentration during the game can still cause injury to you.
What Are the Most Common Injuries in Hockey?
In a game of hockey, you need to make quick turns, sprints, and trunk movements, which can put some strain on the lower body, especially your ankles. Also, there is a massive risk of getting blows from a stick or a ball. This is why the risk of injury is quite high in hockey. Some of the common injuries in hockey are:
- Ankle sprain
- Hamstring strain
- Back pain
- Quadriceps contusion
- ACL injury
- Dislocated shoulder
- Shin splint
- Cuts and bruises
- Fractures in hand
How Tight Should the Ankle Brace Be for Hockey?
In a hockey match, you should choose an ankle brace that offers a snug fit. If your braces are too loose, you won’t get the necessary support on your ankle and may end up spraining it. On the other hand, if the brace is too tight, the blood (and oxygen) supply to your ankle may be cut off, causing a medical problem. So, find an ankle brace for hockey that fits your ankle perfectly. The adjustable design of Vero Ankle™ braces helps you get the perfect fit.
Can You Wear Ankle Braces in Hockey?
In a contact sport like hockey, your ankles become susceptible to sprains and injuries. It is recommended to wear ankle braces to reduce the risk of ankle injury and provide additional support to your ankle joints. Also, if you are recovering from a previous ankle injury while participating in a game of hockey, the braces can protect your ankle from further injuries.
