How to chose catcher

Catcher (goalie glove) - what is most important when choosing a goalie glove? So that it is the right size and that you can close it well. Just so that it fits well on your hand. A well-chosen catcher will help you prevent a lot of conceded goals.

A common mistake is that parents want to buy a bigger trap "so you can use it for longer time". But if you don't close it in your palm and with your whole fingers, you won't be able to hold the puck in it, and that's wrong. You simply can't close the catcher with the last knuckles of your fingers, so you'd better choose a smaller one.

For goalkeepers under the age of 8, choose from the youth goalie gloves.

For goalkeepers from 8 to 10 years of age, catchers from the junior category are ideal.

From 10 to 13 years old, choose between intermediate goalie gloves.

And if you are 14 or older, choose senior. And if you are on the ice every day, you will definitely appreciate the selection of goalie gloves for professionals.

For some goalies it is important whether they have a single-T or a double-T, but this is more about the setting "in the head". A lot of goalies think the double-T is deeper. But it's just a feeling. If you measure the depth of the catcher, you will find that the manufacturers go to the maximum dimensions allowed by the rules.
