Intro & New Features
The next installment of Warrior’s Ritual goalie gear for 2022 is finally here; the Ritual G6 E+ Youth catcher looks to be the perfect introductory catcher with a new, clean construction. This iteration includes a 75° break angle, a skate lace, single-T pocket, and a lightweight and clean design.
External Material
The exterior is made up of high-quality Jenpro synthetic leather to ensure the glove is durable enough to withstand play while keeping that professional level of performance you would expect.
Break Angle
The G6 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.
Pocket Design
The pocket of the Youth size uses a single-T with a skate lace pocket. The closure has been made easier and quicker to close to accommodate younger, learning goalies to simplify making the saves.
Strapping
The catcher has an adjustable elastic backhand strap to customize the fit to young players’ comfort level.
Cuff Design
The cuff on the G6 E+ 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.

The Warrior Ritual E+ Youth catcher comes in Regular and Full Right orientations in the following colourways: White/Black/Green, White, White/Black, White/Red, White/Royal, and Black.

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
