|||you can play lacrosse with hockey gloves but it will limit your mobility and make cradling, passing, shooting and almost everything more difficult.

|||The main difference is that in hockey gloves have two digets in each finger where lacrosse gloves have three. Which as you could imagine will limit his mobility. If your son is just begining lacrosse this will not be a big problem.Any more questions go to http://lacrosserule.webs.com/
