The Bauer GSX Prodigy youth blocker combines lightweight, protective materials and provides a comfortable fit with a high level of protection. Great for a goaltender just starting to play hockey.
External Material
The exterior of the blocker is the same through the whole blocker featuring synthetic leather. Synthetic leather was a standard in the goalie industry for many years. The synthetic leather will provide good durability and performance offered at a great price.
Internals
The blocker board is made of a dual density foam, to provide protection and durability for deflecting pucks with the blocker.
Palm Material
The palm of the GSX Prodigy blocker is a nash material that is soft and comfortable in the hand, and will allow a good feel of the goal stick. The nash material will absorb sweat and dry out relatively quickly so the blocker is dry for the next use.
Side Hand Protection
The side hand is an offset 2 piece material that will provide protection for any shots that come from an off angle.
Cuff
The cuff on the Bauer GSX Prodigy has a velcro closure, enabling a well fitting blocker, but allowing mobility and freedom to move and adjust.
Hand Protection
The design on the GSX blocker finger protection is somewhat similar to what’s featured on the Bauer 3S model. The GSX finger protection version comes in slightly shorter along the pinky, middle, and ring fingers. As well the finger protection is entirely foam and synthetic leather.
Colors
The Bauer GSX Prodigy YTH blocker is available in White/Black, and comes in Regular hand (worn on your right hand), and Full Right (worn on your left hand).

Goalie Blockers Sizing
More times than not, the fit of your Goalie Blocker is often overlooked. This is likely the result of the limited size availability compared to other pieces of equipment, however a properly sized Blocker provides you the protection and stick control you trust.
Which Blocker Size is for you?
The first step to finding the correct Blocker 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 Blocker Fit
It is important to ensure that the fingers tips lie close to the seam of the palm, or within 0.5” if the Blocker is for a young growing goaltender. 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. You also want to ensure that the goalie can maintain control of their stick in addition to being able to maneuver the blocker when handling the puck.
Which Hand Do I Need?
Figuring out which hand you need for your Blocker 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.
- Blocker Hands Simplified
- Regular - Blocker worn on your Right Hand
- Full Right - Blocker worn on your Left Hand
