Abstract
A street hockey goalie's blocker is described, which permits the blocker to be used on either the left hand or the right hand. The blocker has a generally planar rectangular blocking pad having a blocking side and an inner side, as in the prior art. Also as in the prior art, a sleeve is provided on the inner side of the blocking pad, and it has an integral thumbguard extending therefrom. However, the sleeve is removably attached to the inner side of the pad, instead of being sewn thereto, and is reversible. Removing the sleeve, turning it over, and then reattaching it in effect changes the position of the thumbguard from one hand to the other. A thumb strap is provided, as in the prior art, but instead of being sewn to one side of the thumbguard, it can be positioned on either side of the thumbguard, to allow for the reversibility of the thumbguard. In the preferred embodiment, strips of VELCRO (trademark) fastening material are used to attach the sleeve to the pad. A retention strap is used to assist in holding the sleeve in place, once it has been positioned using the VELCRO strips.
