Best Price Promise
New for 2022, The TRUE Catalyst 9X Pro Junior Hockey Gloves are designed for the elite-level player. With a tapered fit designed to take the shape of the player’s hand, combined with the AX SUEDE palms and gussets, shot blocker, and reduced cuff height, the Catalyst 9X Pro gloves offer complete coverage and wrist mobility at the highest level.
External Material
Externally, the Catalyst 9X Pro uses a multi-material shell featuring premium nylons with a PU finish. This offers protection and extends the longevity of the glove in high-wear areas. The exterior also offers TPR branding and embellishments to give the glove that extra pop.
Finger Design & Backhand Protection
The fingers are a three-piece design offering you flexibility and freedom to control your stick. Constructed with Pro grade 20mm EPP foam and PE inserts, the protection TRUE has provided is truly elite. What separates the Catalyst 9X Pro from the 9X is the addition of a backhand shot blocker.
Thumb Design
TRUE introduces their newly designed Trueflex3 three-piece hinge thumb. This ergonomic thumb provides increased flexibility and unmatched hyperextension prevention.
Cuff Design
True has given the Catalyst 9X a tapered fit design with an ergonomic flexible cuff. This allows the glove to fit seamlessly on the player's hand and offers superior wrist mobility. The cuff also features a ½” height reduction compared to the 2021 Catalyst 9x Glove.
Palm Material & Gussets
The TRUE Catalyst 9X utilizes the AX SUEDE palm and gussets. This is an extremely comfortable Nash material that gives you great sick connection to the hand. There is also an additional AX SUEDE overlay giving the palm an extra layer of durability.
Liner
The liner is made from Microbian which is an antimicrobial material to limit moisture and prevent bacteria from building up.

Player Glove Sizing
To ensure you're purchasing the proper sized glove, one simple measurement using a measuring tape is all it takes to accurately find your size. Place the tip of the tape measure at the top of your middle finger (or which finger is longest) and measure all the way down to the bottom of your palm. Record this measurement and multiply by two. This will be roughly the size of glove you need. Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided on each model as well to find your best fit.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Growing Players)
If you are including growing room in the glove for a young player, always round the measurement up to the next whole number (ex. 3.2” x 2 = 6.4” -> 7”).
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Growing Players)
To ensure hockey gloves fit properly for a growing hockey player, have them place their hands in the glove with their palms facing up. Have the player place their hand inside the glove as they would if they were wearing the glove in a normal situation. Take your index finger and put it between the top of the player's palm and the edge of the cuff. Typically you want no more room than the width of your index finger.
You also want to have the player press their fingers against the palm so you can see the outlines. Make sure their pinky finger is at least 3/4” of the way into the pinky slot of the glove finger. To determine if the glove is too small, take your fingers and feel along the inner cuff of the glove just after the palm material. Make sure the player’s palm is not spilling over the material and onto the cuff. You also want to look at the fingers of the glove, and make sure the player’s fingers to fit in each finger slot, but they should not be pressed up against the edge or touching the gussets.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Full-Grown Players)
When sizing for true size (no growth room) using the above measurement, round measurements less than 0.5 down to the next whole number. If the measurement ends in .5 or higher, round up to the nearest whole number.
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Full-Grown Players)
To ensure your hockey gloves fit properly, you want to take a look at two things.
