The ball (or puck) can be easily hit/flicked at up to and above 150 kilometres per hour. Having such an object hit at that speed is enough to break bones and destroy tissue, so the gloves provide enough protection to make saving those shots possible. The gloves also increase the size of the stopping/deflecting area, and make it a bit easier to do as well.
