Abstract
A hockey glove including a thumb portion comprising first and second protective portions disposed on a dorsal side of the thumb portion. The second portion includes a rigid shell and is disposed overtop of at least a proximal end of the first portion. The first and second protective portions are articulated relative to each other such that inward flexion of the first protective portion away from the second protective portion is permitted. A rigid projection, disposed on a dorsal side of the first protective portion, is received within an opening formed in the second protective portion when the first and second protective portions are aligned, such that proximal displacement of the first protective portion relative to the second protective portion is limited by the rigid projection.
