CCM Phenom Junior Goalie Leg Pads – Special Edition
The CCM Phenom is an all-new line for CCM in 2025. The Phenom is built to be a price friendly but with features that CCM is known for in their junior goalie equipment.
Goalies Plus will have a Special Edition version of the Phenom junior leg pads, incorporating six exclusive colors only found at Goalies Plus.
The CCM Phenom is a hybrid goalie pad with a single break below the knee. This is very important for younger goalies as almost every young goalie is a hybrid goalie. Young goalies are too small to be a blocking style butterfly goalie for many reasons: size, mobility, body limitations, etc. So young goalies combine technique with hybrid movement to make saves. Since a hybrid goalie will still utilize the butterfly technique, it is important that the pad can do its part. By having a flexible pad like the Phenom, even a medium/narrow width goalie can still perform a butterfly technique with full closure.
Some features of the new Phenom goalie pads are a tight fit leg channel. Keeping the pad on a young goalie’s leg is extremely important, a loose fit for a young kid will create protection and performance issues. The strapping system is also very easy for a parent to get on and off quickly in the locker room.
On the back of the pad, the Phenom has an adjustable professor (control) strap at the top of the calf. Unlike some past CCM generations, this internal strap can be adjusted to every goalie’s size needs.
The face of the Phenom pad is a flat face pad which helps the young goalie direct rebounds in a consistent manner.
The knee stack of the Phenom junior pad has a balanced feel and is designed not to interfere with the flex of the pad.
Another great feature of Phenom junior leg pads is the proportionate size to width of the pads. The smaller the pad, the narrower they are. As the pad goes from 26+1 to 28+1 to 30+1, the width of the pad also adjusts to the height. This is very important as you will not see a small and wide junior CCM pad and vice versa, you will not see a tall narrow junior pad.
CCM will use an offset hybrid lace system for a toe on the Phenom junior goalie pad versus a bungee toe tie system. The hybrid lace system is a skate lace system with built in slack to allow the goalie skate free range of motion without any restriction. The hybrid toe tie has a Velcro connection at the ends that allow for quick and easy connection while getting dressed. There is also a great YouTube video that Kasimir Kaskisuo addressing toe laces versus bungees.
Goalies Plus will be carrying five custom Phenom colors:
- Black & Royal Blue
- White & Orange
- Red & Black
- White & Black
- Black & Metallic Gold
