Best Price Promise
The Brian’s OPTiK 2 blocker is made for the elite level goalie who demands performance and durability. Using a bindingless face and a beveled Engineered-Foam blocker board wrapped with a durable leather face allows the OPTiK 2 blocker to fall into the paddle down position with ease while remaining a lightweight blocker. Brian’s uses a hard foam face to kick rebounds out of harm's way while an HD foam sidewall and thumb design paired with a soft, comfortable SBA palm along with HD lined finger backs and a large, adjustable HD foam finger protector work to keep your hand protected from pucks and stray sticks. An ultra wide cuff opening paired with the BOA dial adjustment system allows for a great range of motion while giving goalies the option to wear the blocker as tight or loose as they desire. Finally, as with all pro level Brian’s gear, the OPTiK 2 blocker is available for custom order with a large variety of colours as well as custom graphics and many other options.
External Material
The Brian’s Optik 2 blocker is constructed using a durable leather face. It also features their lightweight Polymesh accent zones on the face and back hand giving the blocker a sharp, premium look while helping to cut down on weight.
Internals
Using their lightweight E-Foam technology along with a beveled blocker board, the OPTiK 2 blocker reduces weight while remaining strong and rigid. Like the OPTiK 2 pads, the face of the blocker is made of an extremely hard foam working to protect your hand and allowing it to kick rebounds out of danger zones.
Palm Material
The palm is made of an SBA No-Slip-Grip palm with an additional layer of grippy material over the high wear area where the stick is held in order to provide better durability. There are small holes punched throughout the palm as well as breathable, lightweight AirKnit mesh fingers that work to keep your hand cool and locked into the blocker during each ice time.
Side Hand Protection
The sidewall and thumb of the OPTiK 2 blocker are made of a strong, rigid High Density foam with an additional removable thumb pillow for comfort and superior side hand protection. Finally, a re-designed adjustable cuff anchor strap gives the sidewall greater stability and strength.
Cuff
The OPTiK 2 bocker features a short, ultra wide leather cuff opening that allows for increased range of motion when making blocker saves and playing the puck. Brian’s also uses their BOA dial system in order to provide a customizable fit so goalies can dial it in just the way they like.
Hand Protection
The finger protection on the OPTiK 2 blocker is made of an HD foam wrapped with leather. They’re attached using a velcro adjustable elastic strap for a truly customizable feel. In addition to the large outer finger protection, the back of the finger stalls are lined with HD foam to further protect the fingers from pucks or sticks that somehow manage to get past the outer finger protection.
Colors Available
The OPTiK 2 Pro blocker will be available in stock colours with either an All White, White/Black, White/Black/Red, All Black and Black/White colour options. Additional palm size options, colours, graphics and more will be available for custom order.

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
