The Ritual G4 junior goalie blocker is the newest blocker in Warrior's Ritual line. It carries across some of the great features that were loved about the G3 junior goalie blocker, and also improves on some.
New for the G4 junior goalie blocker is the bindingless construction. The bindingless construction gives the G4 junior goalie blocker a much cleaner design as well as maximizing surface area and durability.
The G4 junior goalie blocker also has easy flex finger protection, to help those younger goalies grip, and keep a good grip on their stick during play. This more flexible design also keeps the thumb looser for maximum flexibility and the ability to keep the blocker square no matter where the shooter is.
Warrior's G4 junior goalie blocker builds on the blocks that were placed by the G3 junior goalie blocker, and improves the look and feel to match what we expect of a modern blocker.

Goalie Blockers Sizing
More times than not, blockers are often overlooked compared to other pieces of gear where fit is concerned. Perhaps this is a result of the limited sizes available compared to other pieces of equipment: youth, junior, intermediate and senior. The first step to finding the correct blocker is to approximate your size by following the estimated age range and “heel-of-palm-to-tip-of-middle-finger” measurement:
- Youth (age 5 – 8): 4.5” – 5.75” / 119 – 143 mm
- Junior (age 8 – 11): 6.35” – 5.75” / 144 – 160 mm
- Intermediate (age 11 – 13): 6.35” – 7” / 161 – 178 mm
- Senior (age 14 and up): 7” – 8.5”* / 179 – 216 mm
*8” – 8.5” would constitute an XL palm on a senior blocker
Once a size has been approximated it is important to ensure that the fingers tips lie close to the seam at the fingertips or within 0.5” if the goaltender is growing. This is important to ensure that the goalie can maintain control of the stick while making saves in addition to being able to maneuver the blocker when playing the puck.
Another thing to look for is that the wrist strap goes directly across the wrist bone and has little to no interference with the chest/arm. The wearer should be able to swivel their wrist to accommodate a range of save selections without any restrictions from the chest protector.
