Shells are cosmetic covers for your existing hockey pants. They are typically used by teams that want to have a consistent look to their uniforms when player have a wide variety of styles and colors of their own pants. They have no padding of their own.
The shell is simply pulled on (or left on) over the top of your regular hockey pants. They will have a belt which can be cinched at the waist to keep the pants up. The shell will not cover the kidney protectors on the top of the pants that rise above the waist, but these are covered by the hockey sweater anyway.
Pants. Im a hockey player.
Some players (myself included) wear a girdle for ice hockey instead of what would be considered typical ice hockey pants. The girdle is a tight set of pads that you slip on, tighten around your waist, and velcro around your thighs. Since the girdle is simply elastic material and padding, you need to wear a shell over top. The shell is exactly what the name implies: A layer of material that you put over something. Some teams even have customized shells that have player numbers or logos. Shells can also be worn over regular hockey pants, but it may be a tight fit.
I am a AAA hockey player, they do not require us to wear hockey shorts, but hockey pants are a neccesity.

Hockey pants prevent injure to the tailbone when falling. They also have pads in the front and back of them, to prevent pucks from hitting you there.

Hockey players to protect against bumps and falls. Cotton or foam in there and it seemsthat the baggy clothes hockey.
It doesn't
Basically the same thing, but hockey pants have the pads inside of them when the girdle is skin tight and is just the pads. Girdles normally go under the long pants that some skaters wear when they play roller hockey. Overall pretty similar and both used to protect your high thigh area's.
