Enjoy Goaltending with Hockeygear Goalie Blockers


Goalie without a blocker is equivalent to hockey without goals. One of the most difficult aspects of playing as a mastered goalie is how to stop or play the 3” puck single-handedly. Goaltending is an extremely challenging position in playing ice hockey, where one has to repeatedly get in the way of a frozen hard-rubber disc moving faster than anything you normally deal with in your daily life. This skill takes hell lot of strength at the time of both shooting and passing the puck. Therefore, it is important to have a blocker that fits tightly as well as protects effectively.

In this blog, you can learn about different goalie blocker sizes and fittings.

Goaltenders are different that the rest of the players having prĂ©cised needs. In order to play the game without having the pressure to protect them, they have to rely upon the safety equipment. The right equipment not only gives protection, but also boosts the confidence that greatly affects a goaltender’s movement. Goalie equipment has four sizes:


  • Youth: 5-6 years old
  • Junior: 7-9 years old
  • Intermediate: 10-13 years old
  • Senior: 13 years old – Adult Youth, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior.


The best way to estimate your size is by correlating the size of blocker board directly with the size of the palm of the glove. The fitting of equipment is paramount apart from selecting the right model of equipment for the level of play. Equipment too large or too small only limits the capability to perform and protect. Equipment that does not fit properly will never break in properly. Basically, there are two fits:


  1. Regular Fit(For people who prefer sticks in right hand)
  2. Full-Right Fit(For people who prefer stick in left hand)

Once you have selected the proper fitting model of equipment that enhances your style and is suitable for your level of play, you should also ensure proper care and maintenance of goalie blockers.
