A glove’s “break” is the part that folds closed, and its angle corresponds to preferred hand positioning.

A 90-degree break angle means you catch the puck as though you’re making a “thumbs-up” sign, with the fingers squeezing back towards the wrist.
A 60-degree break works similarly to a baseball glove, with the thumb and fingers positioned more upright to pinch around the puck.
A 75-degree break-angle catch glove works for goalies who prefer something in between.

Yes, you can bake a goalie glove. When baking a goalie glove, it is best to bake it in an accurately controlled bake oven. This will ensure the glove is adequately dried and won't shrink upon drying. The bake should decrease the moisture content inside the glove, making it last longer.

Properly sized gloves and blockers can prevent you from jamming (or breaking) your fingers. Goalies also need gloves and blockers that won’t inhibit their dexterity.

Depending on your playing style, you may be a goalie who dishes out passes often (or even takes shots on net from time to time!) Like most sports equipment, hockey goalie blocker and glove sizing come in four main sizes: senior, intermediate, junior, and youth. Consult a sizing chart for the brand you wish to purchase. Most companies will have similar sizes, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Age Range	Size
3-6	Youth
7-12	Junior
12-14	Intermediate
13+	Senior

Some of the most popular hockey goalie glove and blocker brands include CCM, Bauer, and Vaughn.

One of the top gloves currently on the market is the CCM EFlex 6 glove and blocker. In addition, the Supreme 2S goalie pad line from Bauer is another top seller.

Vaughn -- a goalie-exclusive company -- has the Velocity V10 Pro Carbon glove and blocker set. The Velocity line is Vaughn’s most popular equipment line, so be sure to check out earlier iterations of these pads such as the V7 and V6.

Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying used gloves and blockers, here's what to look for:

✔️ There are no cracks, rips, or tears on the exterior of the blocker.
✔️ There are no holes in palm of the blocker.
✔️ All interior padding is intact and in good condition.
✔️ All straps and buckles are intact, functional and working properly.
✔️ Any velcro adjustable straps are not stretched.
