Pro Stock Goalie Gloves
When it comes to being a goaltender, you are responsible for not only blocking shots but also catching pucks and limiting rebounds. A quick glove can make all the difference when the game is on the line, which means you’ll need hockey goalie mitts that exceed expectations. As the last line of defense in the game of hockey, a goalie catching glove can easily become a netminder’s secret weapon. Our inventory combines advanced protection and performance for the best goalies in the world. Here at ProStockHockey.com, you’ll find a wide selection of hockey goalie gloves and goalie blockers designed to excel at the highest level of play.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE
Although it’s true that finding a pro goalie glove to match your style of play is important, it’s more important to choose the right size glove for your hand. The first test to ensure the proper size glove is whether the user can close the glove completely. Many times, young goalies opt for large gloves because of the increased surface area but quickly run into problems when it comes to function and performance. To ensure the proper sizing, you’ll want to make sure that the finger stalls are no more than a half-inch beyond the tips of your fingers. After you tighten the wrist straps, you may need to break in the leather with a hair dryer. If there's still a large gap in the glove no matter how hard you work it in, it's not the right glove for you.
IMPORTANT FEATURES TO CONSIDER
In addition to size, there are three other features to consider when buying a goalie glove:
- The Break:
This describes how goalie gloves fold to catch pucks. Some goalies prefer a higher break, such as 90 degrees, which has the tips of the fingers come to the palm of the hand. Most NHL goalies opt for around 60 degrees, meaning the tips of your fingers come to the top of your thumb. - Blocking Cuff:
Cuffs can be either one or two-piece. Going for one-piece gives you more predictable rebounds but less wrist control, while two-piece allows increased flexibility for quick movements. - Pocket Type:
There are two pocket types: Single and Double T. Single T pockets let goalies feel the impact of the puck when caught, while Double T pockets are designed to stop puck rotation and prevent it from bouncing out.
ADVANTAGES OF NHL GOALIE GLOVES
Big-box sport stores offer a variety of goalie glove styles and brands, with similar variations in quality. Another option is going pro stock, which comes with a few key benefits:
- Real NHL gear purchased by teams but never used (or used lightly in practice).
- Designed to meet the needs of top-tier NHL goalies with years of experience. NHL goalies play in the toughest game conditions imaginable. Even their practices exceed the intensity of most other levels of play. NHL goalie gloves are pro stock custom manufactured items that have been engineered to provide the highest possible protection without sacrificing comfort or range of motion.
- Created with only the highest-quality materials and in small batches. Pro stock goalie gloves are made to take punishment day in and day out. High quality means you’ll get plenty of use out of your gloves.
- Competitively priced versus store-bought alternatives. Surprisingly, our pro stock ice hockey goalie gloves are normally priced well below retail. This means you get higher quality at a lower price: what more can you ask for?
