As a few of us have pointed out, smaller does not necessarily equate to less protection. These guys could be wearing form fitted kevlar plates that barely take up more room than their naked bodied would and be perfectly protected. Now no body is advocating that extreme but you can see the point.
Are you telling me that the cuff part of this glove couldnt be curved to form fit the wrist more while providing the same protection?
or that pads that extend almost to a players waistline can't be made shorter and the protection supplemented by a knee cap that protects an exposed area when a goalie goes down? Roberto Luongo is not 4 feet wide, why does his chest protector have to be?
