The Catalyst 5X6 Blocker features many key pieces that make it a solid and reliable blocker for goalies. It has JenPro material which keeps the blocker's shape for longer, a Nash palm which provides durability and comfort, and many high-end features that make this blocker a solid option for goalies.
External Material
TRUE continues to use traditional JenPro material on the outer construction of this blocker. This durable material provides the blocker with a reliable and solid outer build and it helps keep the shape for longer. JenPro is a trusted material and is found on nearly all of TRUE’s goalie equipment because of its reliability, appearance, and overall performance that it provides.
Palm Material
This blocker features a Nash palm material. This material is a durable and reliable material that provides goalies with high-level protection but also top-tier comfort as well. Its design has been improved to last longer, keeping the blocker intact for longer periods of time. Additionally, its grip helps goalies hold their sticks and focus on that next save.
Finger Protection
The fingers are protected with a straight finger design. Straight finger protection on a goalie blocker provides a rigid, non-tapered design along the index finger that eliminates gaps and prevents fingers from being jammed or hyperextended by direct impact from pucks. By running parallel to the sidewall, the design ensures hard puck impacts are distributed evenly across the protective material rather than buckling inward.
Cuff Design
The 5X6 blocker is designed with a half cuff, which promotes wrist mobility. The half cuff allows the goalie to angle, rotate, and drop their wrist freely without it being into their arm pads. It provides a better seal to the ice when the goalie goes into a paddle-down stance, allowing for tighter control of the stick, and because it’s more open, it ensures a smoother flow and less binding.
Blocker Board
The straight blocker board is a traditional, flat design on blockers. It offers a larger visible blocking surface and highly predictable, flat rebounds. This board type contrasts with angled or curved blockers, which goalies typically use to generate faster, higher-trajectory rebounds into the corners.
Hand Protection
This blocker is equipped with a 615 blocking board. This sidewall design, combined with a more aggressive angle, makes redirecting pucks easier and more accurate. The sidewall also features a series of high-density foams that are designed to keep the hand protected from impacts.
Strapping
The 5X6 blocker is designed with a nylon strap that features a velcro attachment. The integration of this strapping system allows the goalie to tighten the strap to a fit that is tailored to their desire, and then attach it to the velcro landing to hold the fit in place while they make saves.
Sizing & Colors
The TRUE Catalyst 5X6 Senior Goalie Blocker comes in a regular and full-right option, full-right is designed for those who use their blocker on their left hand. This blocker also comes in Black, Red/Black, Black/White, White, White/Black, White/Red, and White/Royal.

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.
