Buying Guide
Board Size
A larger blocker board offers more coverage for deflections. Check your league's maximum board size regulations before choosing – especially at senior and competitive levels.
Hand Protection
Look for blockers with well-padded finger and thumb protection. Higher-end models use multi-density foams to absorb shot impact without adding unnecessary bulk.
Mobility
A good blocker should allow full wrist and stick movement. Look for a flexible wrist strap and a board angle that suits your blocker-side deflection style.
Matched Sets
Most goalies match their blocker with their catch glove for consistent protection, weight balance and aesthetics. Mixing brands works fine if both fit correctly.
FAQ +
How should a blocker fit? +
The blocker should fit snugly around the hand and wrist without restricting stick movement. The board should sit flush against the back of the hand and not tilt or shift when you move your wrist.
Does my blocker need to match my catch glove? +
Not functionally, but a matched set from the same brand and line gives consistent protection, weight balance and a unified look. Mixing is perfectly fine as long as both pieces fit and protect correctly.
What board angle should I choose? +
Most blockers come with a fixed board angle suited for standard butterfly play. Some higher-end models offer adjustable angles – useful for goalies who want to fine-tune their deflection direction.
How do I care for my blocker? +
Air out the blocker after each session. Wipe down the board and palm with a damp cloth and let it dry fully before storing. Check the wrist strap and palm attachment regularly for wear.
