Which one should I get?

Which hockey jock is right for you?

All six hold our athletic cup with the shift-proof quad strap design. The quad strap jock is the one to pick if you want to keep the hockey shorts you already wear, and it's the one that comes in youth sizes.

Keep your hockey gear

Love the hockey shorts you already wear? Keep them.

Whatever you wear now, with or without a cup pocket, the Quad Strap Jock System goes underneath. It's a low-profile jock with our athletic cup, not another pair of shorts, so the cup stays put with the shift-proof quad strap design.

Add a base layer: the Sports Boxer Brief pairs well under the Quad Strap Jock. Flyless pouch, no-roll waistband, no cup pocket.

For younger players: our hockey jocks start at adult Small. Until your player fits those, the Youth Quad Strap Jock System comes in youth sizes with our youth cup. Keep the hockey shorts that hold their socks up and wear the quad strap jock underneath.

How the quad strap design holds the cup

Every hockey jock on this page uses the same quad strap design. Watch how it holds the cup.

  • Where the four straps sit
  • How the cup pocket pulls tight
  • The cup staying put through real movement

How it works

Why does it stay put on the ice?

Shift-proof quad strap design

Four straps pull the cup pocket tight from four directions, so the cup stays centered through strides, crossovers and battles along the boards.

Polycarbonate athletic cup

A polycarbonate shell with a soft rubber elastomer rim. The shape helps deflect and spread the force of a puck or a stick.

Cut-resistant options

The cut-resistant short and pant add ANSI-rated material where skates and blades come close.

“Having to wear jocks since a kid playing hockey, the Diamond jock is comfortable and durable. Love the quad strap jock. Locks the cup in place and I don’t find myself adjusting the cup mid skate.”

“They did exchange for me and it’s the best hockey jockstrap pant ever. The pants are tight. With the 4 straps, the cup is locked in… Pants also keeps me warm. No need for other base layers below the waist.”

Questions

Hockey jock FAQ

Is the Diamond MMA hockey jock NHL approved?

Yes. The NHL has cleared the Diamond MMA hockey line for use in official NHL games. View the clearance letter.

What should I wear under the Quad Strap Jock?

The Sports Boxer Brief. It goes under the Quad Strap Jock as an everyday base layer, with a flyless pouch and a no-roll waistband. It doesn't have a cup pocket, since the cup sits in the jock.

What's the difference between a garter belt and a hockey jock short?

The 3 in 1 garter belt combines the jock, garter and cup. The jock short adds a compression short around the jock, with Velcro tabs to hold up your socks. Both hold our athletic cup with the shift-proof quad strap design.

Do I need a cut-resistant hockey jock?

Cut-resistant gear adds protection where skate blades can reach. Our cut-resistant short and pant use ANSI-rated material. Check whether your league or team requires it.

What size hockey jock should I get?

Hockey jocks run adult Small (28–30" waist) to 2XL. Measure around your natural waist, just above the hips, and check the size chart. Between sizes or thick in the thighs? Size up.

Can a youth hockey player wear it?

Yes, if they fit adult Small or up. Pick the youth cup option for smaller players. Most move to the adult cup around ages 14 to 15.

Can I keep wearing my own hockey shorts?

Yes. The Quad Strap Jock System goes under the hockey shorts or pants you already wear, whether they have a cup pocket or not. It comes in adult and youth sizes.

What should a younger player wear before they fit adult Small?

The Youth Quad Strap Jock System. It comes in youth sizes M–XL with our youth cup and goes under the hockey gear they already use. Check the youth size chart for fit.

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Yes. Every Diamond MMA hockey jock and System is HSA/FSA eligible. Choose Flex at checkout.
