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.
I’m a big Warrior fan. Been using their pro goalie gear since 2017. Pads, trappers, chesties, jock and now their mask. I especially love the trapper: GT Pro, GT2 Pro, G3 Pro and G4 Pro. Lightest gloves on the market, zero break in and minimalist strapping with lots of room for my wrist brace and padded glove. Tons of wrist flexibility. It’s the perfect glove………with only two exceptions: 1) the Look: it looks like an oven mitt. Doesn’t look like a pro glove. After a while, the pocket (not webbing) looks like a pancake. Resembles an old school or a kid’s glove. 2) the Pain: insufficient palm protection. Stingers abound even with a D3O padded glove. (Btw, D3O is useless!)
The new G6+ Pro glove is amazing. Bigger, longer but still extremely light weight with zero break in. Same great strapping. And most importantly, it now looks like a pro glove. Better structure seems to prevent the pancake oven mitt look. Unfortunately the palm padding is still painfully insufficient. Don’t want a practice palm option but would really appreciate a piece of padding that could be added/velcroed to the palm.
I’m very happy to be a Warrior Goalie.
