New for 2018 Warrior continues on their Ritual line of goalie trappers with the Warrior Ritual G4 Pro senior goalie trapper. The G4 Pro senior goal catch glove takes the same lightweight design and adds some better materials as well as some feel changes to refine the trapper immensely.
The primary new material in the G4 Pro trapper is Warrior's HyperComp material. This carbon blend material adds a huge amount of protection without increasing the weight of the trapper like denser HD foams would. Increased protection at a pro level is never a bad thing, especially when taking elite level shots.
The G4 Pro also utilizes Warrior's interesting and revolutionary removable palm system. This is carried over from both the G2 and the G3 Pro trapper's they have released in the past. The removable blocker palm allows goalies to change the catch angle of the trapper with additional palms available from Warrior if they so choose. 60*, 90* and the stock 75* are available. This removable palm also allows for the inside of the Warrior G4 Pro trapper to be cleaned, unlike any other trapper on the market.
For those looking at the Warrior G4 Pro as a custom set of equipment, the gear will also be available in the Classic graphic more commonly featured on the R/GT equipment.

Goalie Catcher Sizing
More times than not, the fit of your Goalie Catcher is often overlooked. This is likely the result of the limited size availability compared to other pieces of equipment, however a properly sized Catcher provides you the protection and stick control you trust.
Which Catcher Size is for you?
The first step to finding the correct Catcher 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 Catcher Fit
It is important to make sure the palm lines up properly within the catching glove, so that it can be closed without excessive force. New goalie gloves will be difficult to close initially, but through either a standard break-in process, or "baking" the catcher with our in-house convection skate ovens, they will soften over time.
*We do not recommend using any conventional in-home ovens, as the results have been very unpredictable in the past and could damage your Catcher.*
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.
Sizing for Growing Goaltenders
For growing goaltenders we recommend following the guidelines set above, rather than sizing up to accommodate growth. Oversized goalie gloves restrict control, especially for young developing goalies. As you climb the size ladder for Catchers, typically the glove requires more strength for pocket closure.
Which Hand Do I Need?
Figuring out which hand you need for your Catcher 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.

- Regular - Catcher worn on your Left Hand
- Full Right - Catcher worn on your Right Hand
