The invention provides a hockey glove in which the flexibility of the fingers is substantially increased without detracting from the protection provid ed by padding along the back of the glove. Stalls are provided for the fingers in whic h a portion of each stall is not attached to the padding along the back of the finge r, but is isolated from the padding overlaying the stall and only resiliently attached the reto so that when the fingers are flexed the padding follows the flexing motion, but restricts it only minimally. In a preferred embodiment an elastic strap is provi ded to form a resilient web between the isolated portion of each finger and its associa ted padding. When the fingers are flexed, the isolated portions of the stalls allow the fingers a greater freedom of movement while the fingers remain protected by the overlying padding because the elastic strap pulls the sections of padding along with the stalls. The thumb stall may optionally be similarly constructed.
