Junior Hockey Goalie Equipment Set

Learn About Junior Goalie Sets

Junior goalie sets are specifically crafted for young players, generally aged 6 to 12. These sets typically include appropriately sized blockers, catchers, leg pads, and sometimes chest protectors, all designed to fit the smaller body frames of children. The primary benefit of junior goalie sets is that they offer comprehensive protection tailored to the needs of younger players, ensuring safety while promoting confidence and skill development.

Sizing is a critical factor, as it should correspond to the young goalie’s body measurements for optimal fit, comfort, and mobility. Junior sets are often more flexible and lightweight compared to adult versions, making them ideal for the agility and energy of young players.
