Best Price Promise
The TRUE Catalyst M16 JR Hockey Gloves are based on Toronto Maple Leaf’s very own Mitch Marner’s glove style. Also taking inspiration from the TRUE Catalyst 5X, the Catalyst M16 features a tapered fit, premium nylon exterior, and additionally an upgraded nash palm and overlay and shot blocker on the backhand. TRUE also added some Marner embroidery on the Royal colour model of the glove.
External Material
The Catalyst M16 glove features an exterior made of premium nylon over a hard shell. The use of this material extends the life of the gloves and protects them from general wear and tear.
Finger Design & Protection
The gloves use 20mm EPP with PE inserts to reinforce the protective properties of the glove. Each piece is carefully crafted to maximize protection of the fingers for any situation on the ice.
Backhand Protection
The back of the hand also uses 20mm EPP with PE inserts. In addition, a shot blocker padding has been added on the back, which gives ideal protection for general use and skirmishes in front of the net or high up near the blue line.
Thumb Design
The Catalyst M16 hockey gloves use a redesigned two-piece thumb style, created from the ground up for the Catalyst line. This restructuring includes reinforced backing, high-grade plastic for better resilience, and a firmer fit around your thumb.
Cuff Design
The cuff is designed for protection and flexibility. Like the rest of the Catalyst line, it features a five-piece cuff design with a molded cuff to give the user more freedom of movement.
Palm Material & Gussets
The palm was upgraded from the Catalyst 5X to a higher quality tan nash material, designed to help the wearer grip more and absorb moisture better.
Liner
These gloves use an antimicrobial liner that prevents bacterial build up and keeps the gloves fresher and cleaner for longer.
Sizes & Colors
The TRUE Catalyst M16 Senior Hockey Gloves are available in size 12”, and come in the following colours: Black, Navy, and Royal. On the Royal colouring, there are multiple Marner embroidery additions all along the glove.

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.
