CCM Extreme Flex E4.5 Junior Goalie Leg Pads
New for 2019 is the CCM Extreme Flex 3.5 Junior goalie leg pads. There are some very noticeable differences in the new CCM Extreme Flex 4.5 compared to past generations. The most noticeable difference in the new Extreme Flex 4.5 Goalie pads vs. the 2017 Extreme Flex 3.5 is weight. The 2019 version comes in at 20% lighter. This is because of the new DualLiteCore. This core is very similar to the 2018 Premier Litecore in weight but they do have performance differences. The main performance difference is the DualLiteCore has a torsional flex foam in the upper part of the pad (from the bottom of the knee up) which allows the pad to have more lateral flex. This lateral flex allows the pad to move more independently with the goalie and helps eliminate the feeling of the pad being to stiff or binding the goalie up. This type of pad is generally preferred by hybrid style goalies. One thing we noticed with the new DualLiteCore vs. the older core in the 2017 series was elimination of the need for a double break. In the 2017 generation of the Extreme Flex 3 pads, we offered a double break version because the double break allowed for more flex in the pad from the bottom of knee and up. With the new DualLiteCore, the flex is built into the pad and therefore eliminates the need for that double break.
Another noticeable new feature of the Extreme Flex 4.5 vs. past generations is the strapping systems. The 2019 Extreme Flex series has gone to all elastic strapping in the knee and calf areas. This elastic strapping allows the pad to be worn tighter on the goalies leg while allowing the pad to rotate properly when the goalie goes into the butterfly position. Goalies like the tighter feel while adding performance value, it also makes putting the pads on and taking them off very fast and easy. The elimination of the leather straps also helps reduce the overall weight of the pads.
Also new for 2019 is a new toe tie bungee system. For years manufactures like CCM have used a skate lace to connect the toe of the pad to the toe of the skate. In recent years, after market bungee toe tie products have become very popular because they allow the toe of the pad to stretch from the toe of the skate with an elastic type effect. This stretching and recoiling improves the recovery process of a goalie but also takes pressure off the goalies ankles, knees and hips because it eliminates the quick stop and jerk process that skate lace has when it runs out of slack.
The CCM Extreme Flex series is made for the “hybrid” or athletic style goalie. Goalies that want movement and flexibility choose this style of pad. The CCM Extreme Flex E4.5 Junior Goalie Leg Pads are recommended for Rec thru AAA hockey levels.
