Intro & New Features
New for 2025 is the Vaughn VX1 goalie blocker. This blocker comes with many features that make it stand out as an elite option including an open cuff, HD foams to protect the fingers, and a mesh palm with ventilation for breathability. This blocker also has a molded thumb protector for added protection.
External Material
The VX1 blocker uses classic JenPro synthetic leather on the exterior. JenPro is well-known for its superior durability and performance. The cuff and thumb use nylon mesh for good breathability in those areas. The board has a bindingless construction, maximizing blocking space.
Internal Construction
The HD foam found on the inside of the blocking board offers reliable protection, pop on rebounds, and is incredibly lightweight. The same HD foam is established over the fingers to protect them as well.
Palm Material
The palm is designed with an index trigger design and an improved fit and comfort. It is outfitted with a cushion padding to minimize vibrations when impact hits the stick, and the new palm overlay enhances stick feel, in addition to wicking away moisture.
Side Hand Protection
To keep the side of the hand protected, this blocker features a side finger protection. The finger protection features inserted foams that keep the blocker durable and the hand protected. The blocker also includes a side shield with HD foam for stability and protection, and a side index floating pad.
Cuff Design
This blocker uses a contoured cuff design with added HD foams. This cuff design provides young goalies with increased movements, to prevent any feel of being restricted. The blocker has strapping systems to allow goalies to customize their own fit.
Hand Protection
Along with all the protection this blocker provides, Vaughn also used HD foam throughout the blocker for increased protection in those key areas. Goalies can feel protected and secured from impacts with all the HD foams that are dispersed throughout.
Colors & Blocker Hand
The Vaughn Velocity VX1 Youth Goalie Blocker is available in Black/White in regular and full-right. Full-right is designed for goalies who use their blocker on their left hand.

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
