Warrior's Ritual line has a legacy of lightweight and innovative design and the Ritual G4 Pro senior goalie blocker is not an exception to this rule. Providing pro level protection to those elite goalies that need it, the G4 Pro senior goalie blocker offers some unique features that only Warrior can bring to the table.
The Warrior G4 Pro senior goalie blocker continues to feature the signature Warrior feature in a removable blocker palm. Warrior also has other sizes of this palm available if you could use a bit less or a bit more room. The L is the stock liner size, and both M and XL are offered for the senior G4 Pro goalie blocker. This removable liner also allows you to adjust the fit of the blocker palm as well because of the multiple velcro attachment points is provides.
The Warrior G4 Pro senior goal blocker also features a new material to help reinforce the core. This material is called HyperComp, and is a carbon based composite that provides much more protection than HD foams.
Finally, the last change from the older G3 Pro senior blocker is the new adjustable side index finger protection. This protection sits on the inside of the blocker hand and helps in situations where the puck might slide up the blocker and impact the goalies hand where it would have been unprotected.

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.
