Bauer GSX Senior Glove & Blocker. (2026)

Intro & New Features

Bauer has unveiled their newest addition to their recreational goalie line. The Bauer GSX family has been created for goalies who skate 1-2 times per week, and it provides the protection needed and performs at a good level for less competitive levels of hockey.

Break Angle

This catcher is designed with Supreme’s 75-degree break angle, which focuses primarily on a fingertip-to-thumb closure. This further translates to a wider catch surface when opening the glove during play.

Cuff Design

The cuff design is a reinforced cuff that provides protection against impacts that goaltenders may face. Made of high-quality foams, its construction provides structured durability while not affecting the mobility of goaltenders.

Palm Design

The palm on the GSX catcher is a Nash base palm with added grip. The Nash material allows the goalies to experience the comfort it provides while wearing this catcher, and the added grip to help goalies trap and hold onto pucks. The palm has also been reinforced with foams that are designed to help goalies stay protected while on the ice.

Pocket Design

The catcher uses a reinforced Fused double-T pocket design, which provides a large and secure catching surface. The two-piece construction allows the goaltender to trap the puck between the two sections of the pocket, creating a stable grip on the puck. The double-T pocket design allows for quick and easy release of the puck, and it has a natural “funnel” shape that helps guide the puck towards the goaltender’s hand for cleaner and quicker catches.

Backhand Protection

The backhand design on this catcher features a free-flex construction. This design allows the goalie to move their hand freely while still remaining protected from impacts. The adjustable wrist also enables goalies to further adjust the fit of their catcher to a fit that is tailored to them.

Strapping System

The strapping system features a series of adjustable straps and fasteners that can be configured to achieve the desired level of support, mobility, and comfort. The glove also includes an optimized wrist strap for a more comfortable and adjustable fit, as well as a full adjustable backhand

Intro & New Features

The Bauer GSX Goalie Blocker is designed for the recreational goalie that skates 1-2 times per week. The GSX line provides the protection needed and performs at a good level for less competitive levels of hockey.

External Material

The blocking board on this blocker is made up from dual density foam. The dual density foam provides the blocking surface with an excellent layer of foam that is designed to direct pucks away while keeping goalies protected while making critical saves.

Side Hand Protection

The side plate on this blocker features a Supreme geometry. This refers to specific, rigid, and square-shaped designs that are aimed at optimizing rebound control and maximizing net coverage.

Palm Material

This year’s GSX line of blockers features a 14.5” gray Nash palm. This material is designed to offer a premium, high-performance replacement option focusing on superior grip, durability, and comfort. Nash material is known for being soft, yet incredibly durable, providing a “pro” feel that helps with stick handling and controlling rebounds.

Thumb Design

The thumb features a freeflex thumb design. This promotes enhanced thumb movements for goaltenders, so that they aren’t feeling restricted when playing the puck.

Cuff Design

The asymmetrical adjustable flex cuff on this blocker is a design feature that is focused on maximizing wrist mobility for stick handling and save execution, and it is found in a lot of modern goalie blockers. It is designed to be lower on the inside of the wrist to allow for better range of motion while maintaining protection on the outside.

Liner

The inside of the blocker is lined with a comfort foam liner. This liner is designed to provide comfort and support for goaltenders, adding a soft feel and extra grip while holding onto their sticks. The blocker also features stretch knuckles that are designed to provide an additional level of support, allowing goalies to move their fingers and hands more freely, allowing for more mobility.

Backhand Protection

The backhand on this blocker features an ergonomic fit. This allows the hand to sit comfortably in the blocker, and be able to move their hand without restrictions. The simple hook and loop fastenings hold the fingers with a secure tension that’s easily adjustable, allowing goalies to dial-in their perfect fit.
