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.
