Vaughn Velocity VX1 Intermediate Goalie Blocker

Intro & New Features

New for 2025 is the Vaughn VX1 goalie blocker. This blocker comes with many features that make it stand out as an elite option including an open cuff, HD foams to protect the fingers, and a mesh palm with ventilation for breathability.

External Material

The VX1 blocker features a bindingless, durable leather face with Quickslide accents in the high wear areas such as the nose and finger areas. The backhand uses a combination of nylon keeping it light and durable.

Internal Construction

The VX1 has a molded inner core foam board construction. This design keeps the blocker lightweight and mobile so goalies aren’t feeling restricted with a heavy blocker. The blocker board features thick HD foam with added rigidity to the blocker which provides more active rebounds.

Palm Material

When designing the palm, Vaughn wanted to create a palm that was comfortable and durable. This palm is designed for dexterity and stick control, and it has an index and small finger trigger design to provide more comfort and grip. The mesh palm also includes ventilation ports for added breathability.

Side Hand Protection

The side hand of the VX1 blocker utilizes a double layered side index finger protection. This design allows goalies to be protected from impacts to the hand, keeping them protected and secured.

Cuff

This blocker uses a short, floating cuff design which is designed to offer increased wrist mobility. The cuff is velcro adjustable in order to give goalies the option to adjust the fit as tight or loose as they want while offering good protection, as well as adjustments available through the wrist strap to provide a more custom fit.

Hand Protection

The hand is protected with a back hand cushion pad for comfort and protection. This design allows goalies to be protected on the ice, allowing them to absorb impacts without injury. The fingers are protected with HD foams to provide a high level of protection from impacts or pucks that may ride up the stick.

Colors & Blocker Hand

The Vaughn Velocity VX1 Intermediate Goalie Blocker is available in a regular blocker hand in White, White/Black, White/Blue, White/Red, and Black as color options. There is also a full-right blocker hand designed for those who use it on their left hand, and it is available in White/Black.
