Intro & New Features
The next installment of Warrior’s Ritual goalie gear series is finally here; the Ritual G6 Pro+ leg pads look to bring a solid combination of what you already liked in previous models, as well as some new tech. Features include Airslide 3.0, CoverEDGE+, HyperComp Reinforcement in the thigh rise, and a redesigned outer roll.
External Material
Airslide 3.0 is an upgraded form of the previous Airslide seen in older Warrior leg pad models. It’s a polycarbonate slide plate structured specifically to increase sliding performance by lessening friction along the surface throughout the entire game. The knee landing has a removable and replaceable plate to achieve that sliding performance. On the G6, this tech has been reset to the ideal trajectory to perform just as well on rough, third period ice.
Internal Construction
Warrior brings back the Hypercomp composite configuration coupled with a more rigid thigh rise. This reinforcement is made up of carbon fibre and is designed to enhance durability while helping a bit with rebound responsiveness. The previous G5 had a thinner, softer thigh rise, which is not the case here— Hypercomp has been made more rigid to give you full control of the pad while lessening that trampoline effect on rebounds. The pads additionally have been made much lighter than their predecessors.
Pad Break
The G6 Pro+ continues to use CoverEDGE+ technology, which is a forward-lean design that creates a better angle when challenging the shot. The outer roll has also been optimized to allow you to hug the post better, which in turn would make for a better seal in both the RVH and butterfly positions.
Boot Angle & Toe Taper
The toe box on the G6 Pro+ is removable as desired. In response to some feedback Warrior had received from the previous G5, they have lengthened the Active Response toe and bootstraps to help with recovery, particularly in the hips and knees.
Knee Cradle
For better control, the pads use a combination of Warrior’s 360TriFit leg channel and a contoured shape. The semi-built-in knee block returns from previous Ritual models, which is stiffer for a more stable knee landing. The knee cradle on the G6 is adjustable.
Strapping
The pads use Slingwrap knee and calf straps and have included an additional calf strap for a better anchor and greater connection to the leg. They also allow for more customization with some extra strappings and slits along the channel.

The Warrior G6 Pro+ Senior leg pads come in sizes 32+1.5, 33+1.5, 34+1.5, 35+1.5, and 36+1.5 in the following colourways: Black, White, White/Black, White/Black/Red, White/Red, and White/Royal.

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
