Brian’s OPTIK X4 JR Blocker

Brian's OPTIK X4 Junior Blocker gives developing goalies a balanced board and a palm sized for smaller hands. The neutral hand position keeps the blocking surface centred, while the bevelled board helps direct rebounds away from the crease. Fixed finger protection covers the exposed side of the hand, and the wide cuff improves wrist movement for stick saves, paddle-down play and basic puck handling.

Junior blocker design

• Neutral hand position: Helps younger goalies keep the board square without fighting its balance.
• Bevelled board profile: Supports controlled rebound direction from the blocking face.
• Fixed finger protection: Adds coverage beside the stick paddle.
• Wide cuff opening: Allows useful wrist range during saves and recovery movements.
• Traditional wrist adjustment: Provides a simple and familiar closure system.

Confirm the junior palm controls the stick

The listed blocker is regular and worn on the right hand. The child should be able to wrap the palm around the goalie stick without the board twisting or the fingertips being compressed. Test wrist extension and paddle-down position in full equipment. Black and white are separate stock variants but share the same fit, so prioritize palm security before choosing the colour.
