Best Price Promise
The Warrior Ritual G5 Youth trapper is a new addition to the G series lineup this year. The trapper is made with a quick & easy closure allowing young goalies the best chance of making that big glove save while also being fully protected with the use of high quality materials in the construction process.
External Material
Warrior uses regular synthetic leather on the G5 Youth catcher along with other lightweight materials that will help a young goalie’s range of motion by avoiding a heavier, clunkier, alternative trapper.
Break Angle
The first thing you’ll notice about this glove is not only that it’s more comfortable, but also that it is truly game ready. The new break angle is the same as the G4, but by no means is the glove the same. The redesigned thumb angle makes the glove fit more naturally on the hand providing comfort and making it easier to use.
Pocket Design
The Ritual G5 Youth goalie glove features a single T pocket design. The youth version also comes with a skate lace pocket creating a more supple catching surface for better puck retention
Strapping
The Warrior G5 YTH Catch Glove is equipped with an adjustable elastic backhand strap for an easy, comfortable fit. No hassle or fuss to mess with for young goalies when getting dressed with this trapper.
Cuff Design
The cuff on the new G5 allows the goalie their full wrist mobility without any restrictions. An open cuff lets the goalie present their glove the way they want to hold it, not forcing you to hold the glove a certain way. This makes the goalie feel more comfortable using the glove and therefore making the goalie more confident when making a glove save.

The graphic itself on the pad is aesthetically pleasing and comes in various stock color options.

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
