The Bauer Prodigy Youth Goalie Blocker is built specifically for young players learning the position, rather than being a reduced version of adult pro gear. Its lightweight dual-layer board provides age-appropriate protection, while the compact palm and flexible cuff make it easier for small hands to hold the stick and present the blocker correctly. The reinforced side plate and integrated finger padding give beginners the coverage they need as they learn basic stance, paddle position and rebound direction.Bauer Prodigy youth blocker features Youth-specific dimensions: The board, palm and cuff are scaled for younger goalies so the blocker can be controlled without excessive weight or rotation. Dual-layer blocker board: Two protective layers add cushioning across the face while keeping the unit light enough for developing arms. Reinforced one-piece side plate: The inside wall combines finger coverage with open access to the stick and paddle. Integrated finger protection: Built-in padding shields the fingers from beginner and minor-hockey shots without creating a bulky grip. Nash Ivory palm: Suede-like synthetic material improves comfort and gives small hands a reliable connection to the shaft. Dual-adjust neoprene cuff: Stretch material and two adjustment points allow free wrist movement while keeping the blocker secure. Balanced construction: The hand position and lightweight materials help young goalies hold the board square instead of letting it drop. Regular and full-right options: Both orientations are offered so left-catching and right-catching youth goalies can use the correct setup. Proper youth sizing comes firstA youth goalie should be able to wrap the fingers around the stick, move the wrist and lift the blocker without fighting the equipment. Oversizing for future growth can slow reaction speed and cause the board to rotate away from square. The Prodigy is intended for early-stage goalies who need a true youth fit and manageable protection.Complete a Bauer Prodigy youth setupPair this blocker with the Bauer Prodigy youth catcher and Bauer Prodigy youth goalie pads.
