What Hockey Goalie Glove Size Should I Get?
Don't buy gear thinking you're grow in them. I know it's expensive, but better well sized than getting something that is too big and will restrict your movements (it will be very hard for you to handle the puck and close the glove). As for the use, usually street/ball hockey gear are made for orange or hard , I wouldn't advise you use with regular pucks although I have already use them and it was fine (but still unsafe for potential injuries). A light weighted puck or a foam puck is alright. For the size, it mainly depends on your hands' size and your height. If you're 6'0 (which is possible), there are chances you have bigger hands and will fit senior fine. As for myself, I'm 5'6 and senior goalie gloves are a bit big for me, but still good enough to use although they get loose. The best option would be trying one and see how it fits. Ideally, there should be a maximum of 1 inch between the nearest (top) area of the glove and your fingers. You might have to look into intermediate sizes. However, if you had to choose between senior and junior AND are around my height, it would be wiser to go with the biggest size. The reviews on Tour equipment, I can't really give you one since i've never tried them. My gear for floor hockey is a street Vaughn blocker and a Nike Bauer Vapor street glove.
