There are ways to make a pad last a bit longer for a growing goalie, such as boot risers. Of course sizing has changed drastically, particularly with how smaller pads being used with the Lundy Loop, as the loop can raise the effective size up to an inch or two. I use an Intermediate Large in Bauer X5 Pro and enjoy more mobility. I am 5'9" tall with super short thigh bones.
I’m shrinking as I get older and Vaughn has changed its sizing so no I am right on the boarder between senior and intermediate. Some sellers have senior Vaughn 32’s and some have intermediate 32’s while many still don’t have 32 at all. It’s either 31 or 33. I worry about losing 2 inches of overall width - if I’ll notice or if I’ll benefit in more mobility.
Great information! Thank you!
You are very welcome - I'm glad you found it helpful.

Thanks for sharing your tips - I like the mobility in the intermediates too.
At 5’5” I live this.
Vaughn and Brian’s do custom
Bauer adult XS is another option. I’m in an adult V9 31+1.5
Awesome - thank you for sharing your experiences with Vaughn and other brands. Really helpful.
I have practice at London sports park tonight 😁
Have fun out there. If you are around on a Sunday morning have a check on the ice to see if I'm in net :)

Losing the width is a concern, but I feel like I benefit from the mobility because I am not the greatest skater.
Mobility is HUGE for any goalie, no matter the skating acumen.
@@GeetarRenovations-u5z good point :)
ARE YOU GONNA START WEARING VAUGHNS???? :D You know you want to.
I can neither confirm nor deny that the full black set up might be in my basement as we speak :)
@@goalietraining There is something about this that brings me great joy!
