Abstract
Hockey pants having a floating pad for protecting the abdominals are provided. The pad may be connected indirectly to the hockey pants by means of one or more flexible bands which together comprise a belt connected to the lateral edges of the pad. The pad is also positionable at various heights on the front of the abdominals depending on the body type and needs of the wearer. This configuration allows for the wearer to customize the placement and fit of the abdominal pad, and also to gain protective benefits from the abdominal pad while not being constrained by obtrusive padding at the waist.
