Finding a goalie trapper that works is a struggle that almost every goalie has had to go through. With the release of the Velocity VE8 junior goalie trapper, Vaughn is trying to make the choice an easy one. Using the same shape and catching style as the VE8 Pro Carbon senior goalie trapper but shrinks it down to junior size for the growing goalies out there.

The VE8 junior goalie trapper features the new offset, split T that Vaughn designed for the VE8 line. This T allows for a deep, and even wider pocket presentation, which results in better puck retention. The T being offset also allows for a more reliable close as less material is in the way of the pocket closing flush against itself.

The VE8 junior also has many key components that help the glove stay on the goalies hand. By including a full grip interior palm surface, as well as a padded full pull wrist strap to ensure that no matter how much growing room there is, the glove can be fit to stay on the goalies hand.

By combining some new features with an already proven and well liked design, Vaughn is bound to get more goalies wearing their gloves with the Velocity VE8 junior goalie trapper.

Goalie Catcher Sizing

More times than not, the fit of your Goalie Catcher is often overlooked. This is likely the result of the limited size availability compared to other pieces of equipment, however a properly sized Catcher provides you the protection and stick control you trust.

Which Catcher Size is for you?
The first step to finding the correct Catcher size is to utilize the “heel-of-palm-to-tip-of-middle-finger” measurement. This measurement will generally send you to the appropriate size you need.

Analyzing the Catcher Fit
It is important to make sure the palm lines up properly within the catching glove, so that it can be closed without excessive force. New goalie gloves will be difficult to close initially, but through either a standard break-in process, or "baking" the catcher with our in-house convection skate ovens, they will soften over time.
*We do not recommend using any conventional in-home ovens, as the results have been very unpredictable in the past and could damage your Catcher.*

Next you want to ensure the adjustable wrist strap goes directly across the wrist bone, and has minimal to no interference with your chest protector. The goaltender should be able to swivel their wrist to accommodate a range of save selections without any restrictions from the chest protector.

Sizing for Growing Goaltenders
For growing goaltenders we recommend following the guidelines set above, rather than sizing up to accommodate growth. Oversized goalie gloves restrict control, especially for young developing goalies. As you climb the size ladder for Catchers, typically the glove requires more strength for pocket closure.

Which Hand Do I Need?
Figuring out which hand you need for your Catcher can be slightly confusing. Goalies generally refer to themselves as "REGULAR" or "FULL RIGHT". Below is the easiest way to simplify which hand you need.

    Goalie Catcher Hands Simplified
  • Regular - Catcher worn on your Left Hand
  • Full Right - Catcher worn on your Right Hand
