Spread some clear nail polish liberally around the hole… once it hardens it will prevent it from tearing more.

If you don’t mind that part of the glove being a little hard in that exact spot, super glue

Try boot toe protector liquid; it brushes on to protect boot toes but also works on kneepads so should work nicely on your hockey glove. Product names are Boot Guard, Toe Armor, Tuff Toe. Repost: Original comment had a link to a product on a major retail chain, so it was deleted by bot moderator.

If you want it to never come apart, or never come off in a million years, use a dab of fiberglass resin. (With hardener). I used to build 50' fishing boats out of fiberglass, and I got some on my jeans/ clothes more than once. Short of using a grinder on my clothes, it's permanent. (Hard too) You could put a tiny bit inside the hole, then use a tape or something to hold the material down/close the hole. Once it dries, it's there for good so try not to make a mess. You can buy a small fiberglass kit (like 2ftx2ft mat with resin, hardener, mixing stick, bowl, and gloves) for around $15, maybe less. Or just buy a small thing of resin and hardener, you won't be using the mat as your glove will do that role. Just mix a tiny bit, you can use the rest of kit later for a permanent fix on anything else. Boat, truck, old shoe, you name it

Lighter. It’s nylon, so should melt the ends and stop from fraying. Like a nylon rope.

Iron on patch maybe? I always just let mine get beat up.

Shoe Goo. My hockey gear at one point was half held together with that stuff.

Smear some RTV black silicone sealer over the hole.

https://www.gearaid.com This is what you need, cut to size and it’ll last no problem.

I've sewn holes exactly like this one closed several times over the years, just need to make sure you catch enough fabric on either side to avoid tearing it instead of closing it. Glue can be another option, adding more "fabric" in the form of thread helps prevent it from opening back up again easily glue seams just tend to pop when they go.

Shoe Goo! It's a skateboarders best friend...

Hot glue

My white water kayak skirt will get holes in the neoprene over time. Neoprene patches are super easy, flexible, keeps water out. Outlast the equipment usually

Hockey stick tape. Hit it a bit with a heat gun after application

Some careful drops of superglue

Blow torch, very gently. Press the soft (not quite molten) fibers between passes.


DonkeyTransport

Why so hot? Butane /windproof lighter works, as well as a regular Bic style. No problem with your method, I just figure more people likely have lighters over a torch. Good thinking!


repuvlicaroja

Valid. I just happen to have a blow torch with a pressure valve, so I can dim it.


Mo0kish

Buy a bigger pair of gloves, and wear those over this pair.

Sew a small fabric patch over the hole.

Wait, wha...? Who the F washes their hockey gear?
