Only thing I could see being an issue is when players want varying degrees of tightness. The Boa system is pretty even pressure/tightness for the whole system whereas I like tight across the foot and lower ankle but loose to moderate near the top.
I don't think it would hold up as laces on skates with blocking shots, etc.

This application on a goalie glove shouldn't be a problem.
