Properly sized gloves and blockers can prevent you from jamming (or breaking) your fingers. Goalies also need gloves and blockers that won’t inhibit their dexterity.
Depending on your playing style, you may be a goalie who dishes out passes often (or even takes shots on net from time to time!) Like most sports equipment, hockey goalie blocker and glove sizing come in four main sizes: senior, intermediate, junior, and youth. Consult a sizing chart for the brand you wish to purchase. Most companies will have similar sizes, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
