The Vaughn VE8 Pro Carbon SR blocker continues the legacy that the Velocity line established many years ago. With modern materials like Vaughn's Carbon Enhanced Performance, the Velocity VE8 Pro Carbon is sure to be familiar to Vaughn goalies but perform and feel like the modern blocker that it is.
The Vaughn VE8 goalie blocker features a VX suede palm that has a grip zone to make sure that the goalie has the best grip on their stick, even when the palm is wet. This palm is also attached slightly higher on the blocker board (think more towards the ramp of the blocker) with four attachment points allowing for further reach past the fingers when the goalie is extending to make a save.
As previously mentioned, the VE8 Carbon Pro senior blocker features Carbon Enhanced Performance throughout the blocker. This is included in the finger protection where 3mm of carbon fiber resides, as well as through the sidewall and bindingless face of the blocker where the Full Pro spec construction resides.
The VE8 Pro Carbon senior blocker gives goalies the traditional soft Vaughn feel that they are looking for, with the decreased weight and material improvements that modern blockers bring to the table.

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
