For the recreational and casual goalies that skate 1-2 times per week, Bauer has introduced the GSX line of goalie equipment. The GSX line provides just the right amount of durability and comfort needed and performs at a good level for less competitive levels of hockey.
Shaft Construction
The shaft is designed using a reinforced carbon-glass construction. This design choice is built to optimize both weight and durability. The carbon fiber provides a stiff, ultra-lightweight response, with the interwoven glass layers help absorb impacts.
Paddle Construction
Similar to the shaft, the paddle is constructed using a carbon glass design. This allows the stick to remain extremely durable while also being lightweight and easy to hold. The addition of the Expancel core further reinforces the stick and contributes to the stick being lightweight.
Blade Construction
The blade is constructed using an ExpanCel core which provides a lighter weight, greater durability, and an overall optimized feel when handling the puck. The GSX stick has a square shape at the top of the blade to help stop board rims, while the bottom of the blade is rounded to help goalies pull the puck off the boards and make plays with the puck.
Grip
The GSX goalie stick is designed with traditional square shoulders that offer a sturdy structural feel, and a classic, robust grip. It allows goalies to have a strong hold of their sticks, which allows for easier movements with the puck and interaction with the blocker.
Sizing & Colors
The Bauer GSX Senior Goalie Stick comes in paddle lengths 24”-27” in both left and red handed options, with a P31 blade pattern. This stick is also offered in Black, Blue, and Red.

Goalie Stick Sizing Information
Unlike other pieces of gear, Goalie Sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender’s preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface. The reason for the paddle height’s significance is because it sets up the goaltender’s depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
Sizing Your Goalie Stick
To start analyzing the size of your goalie stick, put on your goalie skates to get an accurate height of where you will be in your stance. If you’re looking to be even more accurate, strap on your goalie pads and blocker as well. Once that is done, get comfortable in your natural stance (the one you’d be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
1. The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1’ - 2’ in front of your feet
2. After getting your stick into the flush position, check that the inside edge of the blocker hand sits on the outside edge of the goal pad (this is while holding just above the paddle).
Goalie Stick Sizing Considerations
Goalie Stick sizing can be very subjective compared to other pieces of equipment. The reason for this is the ambiguity of each goaltenders ‘natural stance’, especially with younger goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn’t usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length of a goalie stick is usually best left at its stock length, as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and ideally place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers, cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender’s feet.
