Best Price Promise
New for 2022 is the SLR3 Junior blocker by Vaughn. The blocker features a range of high-level attributes and tech engineered to enhance performance, including a flex cuff, a double-layered ergonomically shaped palm, and a no-binding construction. The SLR3 is tailored specifically to optimize performance in the butterfly position, making it a good series for young players who often go down or find themselves in that position.
External Material
The SLR3 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 an incredible light weight. The same HD foam is established over the fingers to protect them as well.

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
