Unlike most youth gloves, the Bauer Prodigy youth blocker is properly proportioned for the smaller hand of younger goaltenders, making it much easier to control. The board is of full thickness and the blocker also includes a high-density foam sidewall as well as a reinforced thumb to offer maximal protection. An adjustable wrist strap and open wrist cuff allow for relatively easy integration with youth chest/arms and allow for a full range of motion.
