Generally, most goalie pads have their measurement on the side or tag of the pads. But, remember that most pads are measured differently from company to company. So there are a verity of ways to measure your pads, but what you can do (if your ordering by internet) is to measure from the ankle bone to the center of the knee cap, and send this to what ever company your ordering from. Most of the ones I've seen will check that you will fit the pads. Other than that, you will need to go to what ever company made the leg pads and see how they measure it.
the size of the leg pads

When you play hockey mostly required equipment is a cage helmet (street or roller hockey) or just a visor helmet for ice hockey (you can also have a cage helmet for ice) Every type of hockey you should have shin guards Have to have hockey gloves Have to have hockey stick obviously Some people recommend having a mouth guard. Some places make you have elbow pads while some don't.
Players bumping helmets after wins and with the goalies after a block have been traditions for as long as hockey has been around. It is their way for showing support and congratulating each other.
An ice hockey player typically wears the following: Skates Shin guards Shoulder pads girdle (padded shorts) elbow pads athletic cup gloves helmet hockey stick A goalie has different equipment: skates (usually with extra plastic around the foot) leg pads chest protector girdle athletic cup Blocker and glove (more mitt-like) helmet (made specifically for a goaltender) hockey stick (with a wider blade and a paddle under the blocker)
Ice Hockey Goalies do not always wear their team socks under their pads (Practices usually just sweatpants) although for games they mainly do. If you are going to play Ice Hockey, you most definitely need to buy a Goalie Jock. They are padded and usually have thicker plastic for the "jock" part.
