Intro & New Features
The next installment of Warrior’s Ritual goalie gear series is finally here; the Ritual G6 Pro+ catcher looks to bring solid tech from previous models along with some higher-end features. Features include an AxyFlex Double-T design, CoverEDGE+, a 75° break angle, and an open-style cuff.
External Material
Similar to how it works in the leg pads, CoverEDGE+ in the glove pushes the face forward a bit to cut the angle when challenging a shooter and the shot. On the G6 E+, the dimensions extend at the fingers, offering a longer catching area.
Break Angle
The G6.1 E+ uses a 75-degree break angle, which is an index to mid-thumb closure. This kind of break angle is very finger-driven, meaning it will appeal to goalies who prefer that kind of feel. The 6.1 has a lengthened catching shape and more of an index to low-thumb closure.
Pocket Design
The pocket uses a double-T coupled with an AxyFlex T design to maximize angles and perceived pocket size when challenging a player and the puck. The pocket with AxyFlex looks bigger, since the T is angled more toward the pocket, and additionally helps deflect pucks downward into the pocket rather than outward for a rebound.
The liner in the G6.1+ catcher is sewn in, and the palm is not removable.
Strapping
The strapping style of the G6 hasn’t changed from the G4.
Cuff Design
The cuff on the G6.1+ is similar to the previous G5, which allowed for full wrist mobility without any restrictions. The one-piece cuff and thumb design let the goalie present their glove the way they want to hold it, giving you more confidence in making the glove save.

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
