Senior Hockey Goalie Gloves

Learn About Senior Hockey Goalie Gloves

Senior hockey goalie gloves are designed for adult players and are larger and more robust than junior or intermediate gloves. They offer advanced protection with high-quality materials like synthetic leather and nylon, ensuring durability and performance. These gloves are tailored to fit adult hand sizes and come with features that cater to the demands of higher-level play. When selecting senior goalie gloves, consider factors like size, material, durability, and the specific needs of your playing style.

How to Choose a Senior Hockey Goalie Catch Glove

Choosing the right senior hockey goalie glove is crucial for both protection and performance. The glove should fit snugly and allow the goalie to close it completely for effective puck control. Consider the glove’s cuff style, catch angle, and pocket style, as these elements affect how the glove feels and performs in-game situations. A properly fitting glove won’t interfere with arm floaters and will enhance the goalie’s ability to catch and block shots efficiently.

Senior Hockey Goalie Glove FAQs

Senior hockey goalie gloves should fit snugly without restricting movement. They need to be comfortable to close completely, ensuring efficient catching and blocking. The glove’s fit is key to performance, and it should not interfere with other protective gear like arm floaters​​.

There are two main cuff styles for senior goalie gloves: the traditional two-piece cuff and the solid cuff. The two-piece cuff offers more flexibility, aiding in catching pucks, while the solid cuff provides more protection and is preferred by butterfly goalies for its blocking surface​​.

Senior goalie gloves come with different catch angles: 90 degrees, 75 degrees, and 60 degrees. The 90-degree angle suits goalies who hold their glove vertically, the 75-degree angle is for a slightly steeper hand position, and the 60-degree angle, being the most common, is comfortable for a traditional handshake position​​.

Senior goalie gloves feature either a Single T-Web or a Double T-Web pocket. The Single T-Web is traditional, with one leather piece for the pocket lacing. The Double T-Web has a deeper pocket, reducing pop-outs and puck rotation, making catching easier​​.
