Alright Goalie Gear Nerds, it’s that time of year again! Time for us to ask/beg our loved ones for those pieces of hockey gear, apparel and accessories that we’ve wanted all year . Like every year, we didn’t tell any of these companies we would be listing their products (said another way, they are not paying us to appear here). Everything on our guide is something we genuinely use, love & recommend.
Sparx Gen 3 Sharpener – Yes, the machine pays for itself after a couple of years (or sooner). But more importantly, having the ability to sharpen your skates at home (and pretend your Hans from Mighty Ducks) makes the price tag worth it. Start out 2025 with perfect edges.
Warrior G7 Leg Pads – If you’re looking for the lightest and fastest sliding pads on the market, you can find them both in the Warrior G7 leg pads. The updated knee drive system and strapping also make the G7 pads one of the most #GGNApproved pads on the market.
Vizual Edge - Goalies cannot stop what they cannot see. Vizual Edge is widely regarded as the BEST vision training tool on the marketplace. All you need is a laptop or iPad and VE will send you the training glasses. Every goalie should be training with VE. Use our link for special pricing and, until December 2nd, enter the “GGN” promo code for 50% off!
Bauer Konekt 2 – put simply, the Bauer K2s are the most advance goalie skate on the market. The hinge design allows goalies the ability to flex their knee further in front their toes (generating more power) while the buckle system (upgraded from the original Konekts) helps secure the foot more strategically and consistently. Plus the all black design looks sick!
Bauer Trigger Sticks – Trigger paddle grips give goalies better control and finger protection for their index fingers, but unfortunately they historically only been available to pro goalies. Luckily Pure Goalie is now offering Stock Bauer sticks with this grip in black & white and a special edition “Otter” design (which looks amazing in person).
CCM AXIS XF Trapper – for the AXIS XF line, CCM completely redesigned the internals, backhand and cuff design with the 591. This version is a HUGE upgrade from the previous AXIS trapper, with an extremely easy closure. From the Junior glove through the Senior Pro version (F5, F9 or XF), the 2024 CCM AXIS trapper is definitely worth checking out.
TRUE Catalyst Goalie Skates– you want custom-level comfort in a stock skate? The TRUE Catalyst skate line offers incredible support and performance, all in a skate you can purchase in-stores. There’s a reason why TRUE is the most worn goalie skate in the NHL.
Bonus: TRUE Catalyst gear (pads, trapper & blocker) are currently heavily discounted at Pure & PSG. Don’t expect inventories to last long
Howies – honestly, we’re just huge fans of everything Howies does. From tape, to wax, to apparel; every product they come out with is on point. Their golf hat and new tacky wax are on our personal wish list this year.
Thank you for reading and have a very Happy Holidays!!!
