GRO by Matt Hughson is a set of hockey pads that are expandable to fit the needs of growing athletes. This product is especially made for children who play hockey. Sporting equipment is often expensive, and since the kids grow every few years, their parents have to keep buying new protective gear. This invention would put an end to that, allowing parents to purchase one set of hockey pads and keep using them for years.
The hockey pads work with a series of adjustable straps on the shin pads, shoulder pads and elbow pads. By loosening the straps, one can instantly make the pads fit their growing body so they can get back on the ice and away from the sporting equipment store.
