Warrior's new G4 senior trapper continues on the success of what a lot of goalies see as the most innovative brand in goaltending. Using some of the features that made previous Ritual gloves unique the Ritual G4 senior goalie trapper adds a level of polish that goalies will love.
Same as the old trapper, the Warrior G4 senior goalie trapper features a removable palm. This removable palm is available in 3 break angles 60*, 75* and 90*. The trapper comes stock with 75* degree palm. Having a removable palm, on top of being to change the angle of the catch allows the goaltender to wash the palm and keep it as clean as day one all the time.
The G4 senior goalie trapper also is built off of a lightweight design that helps the goaltender square up the trapper properly. It also features Warrior's AxyFlex "T" which allows the T to hinge when the trapper is closing to allow for a more secure catch when the goalie does manage to get the puck in the pocket.
All in all, Warrior has created a trapper that has a level of consistency that brings unique features to the table. Goalies that are fans of extremely light and innovative gear will be sure to find the G4 senior goalie trapper extremely compelling.

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
