True Catalyst NITRO JR. Blocker

The TRUE Catalyst NITRO Junior Goalie Blocker brings the clean 615 bindingless board concept into a size that young goalies can control. The face is designed to redirect pucks without the bulky perimeter of a traditionally bound board, while the open cuff encourages natural wrist rotation. A junior Nash palm gives developing hands a comfortable connection to the stick, and the integrated thumb and finger protection helps the blocker stay stable through basic stance, butterfly and puckhandling movements.

TRUE Catalyst NITRO junior blocker features

• 615 bindingless face edge: Removing the traditional outer binding creates a clean board perimeter designed for consistent rebound response and improved edge durability.
• Integrated sidewall and thumb: The redesigned inside structure connects the board more directly to the hand for a stable feel when steering pucks.
• Open half-piece cuff: A mobile cuff allows freer wrist rotation for paddle-down saves, stickhandling and controlled blocker angles.
• Straight index protection: The finger guard follows the stick-side line to add coverage while preserving a natural grip.
• Junior Nash palm: A scaled synthetic-suede palm gives smaller hands a comfortable, connected grip on a junior goalie stick.
• Junior-specific dimensions: The board, palm and protection are proportioned for developing goalies rather than simply shrinking an adult blocker.
• Manageable weight: The construction helps young goalies keep the board active and square without excessive fatigue.
• Regular and stock colour options: Available variants let families coordinate the blocker with the matching NITRO junior catcher and pads.

Why proper junior blocker sizing matters

A junior goalie should be able to wrap the fingers around the stick, move the wrist and present the board without the blocker rotating around the hand. Buying a senior or oversized intermediate blocker for future growth can reduce control and slow reactions. This NITRO model is intended for goalies who need true junior palm dimensions and age-appropriate weight while still receiving a performance-oriented board design.
