Junior Goalie Equipment
Shop junior goalie sticks (21"–23") from Bauer, Warrior and more – sized and built for younger developing goalies.
Buying Guide
Paddle Length
Junior paddles run 21"–23". Measure from the ice to the hip in the goalie stance. Young goalies at the top of this range may be ready to move to intermediate sizing.
Durability
Junior sticks use fibreglass or composite blends for maximum durability. Young goalies are harder on equipment – a more durable stick is better suited to heavy use at this age.
Blade Width
Junior goalie blades are narrower than senior blades. The correct blade width helps young goalies develop proper technique and crease control without oversized equipment.
Taping
Cloth tape on the blade and grip tape on the knob are all that is needed. Teaching young goalies to tape their own stick builds good habits and equipment awareness early.
Measure from the ice to the hip in the goalie stance. Junior sticks run 21"–23". If the measurement exceeds 23", it is time to look at intermediate sizing.
When the hip-to-ice measurement exceeds 23" or the paddle consistently feels too short, it is time for intermediate sizing. Intermediate sticks start at 23" and offer better construction for developing goalies.
Yes – junior sticks are built with durability in mind. Fibreglass and composite blends handle heavy use better than pro-level carbon sticks, making them the right choice for young goalies playing frequently.
Cloth tape on the blade from heel to toe and grip tape on the knob is all that is needed. Keep it simple – replacing tape regularly is more important than elaborate taping patterns.
