Quick Overview
New for 2019, CCM has developed their newest adaptation in the Extreme Flex franchise. The all new CCM Extreme Flex E4.5 Youth Goalie Blocker transfers puck momentum to propel pucks in to corners all with a balanced and lightweight design.
Starting off with the face and graphic of the CCM Extreme Flex E4.5 Youth Goalie Blocker, CCM has manufactured a large balanced blocker designed for redirecting pucks in to corners with ease. On the graphic, CCM Extreme Flex 4 has created a new visual look that utilizes triangle shaped large color areas, a long color zone to break up the outer side of the blocker from the inner side and then three long triangle accent streaks placed around the blocker which contain rippled lining throughout these three zones to create a shadowing effect.
Throughout the blocker, CCM has used their proprietary “SpeedSkin” synthetic stamped materials that creates a new level for style and function. It is designed to perform the best out of all materials CCM has to offer.
Continuing on to the face of the blocker, the CCM Extreme Flex E4.5 Youth Blocker has a thick board directly over the back of the hand, allowing the goaltender to redirect the puck in to the corners of the rink with precision and speed. The hand positioning of the palm is relatively centered on to the blocker to continue with the trend of being a well-balanced unit and provide precise blocking and placement of shots.
The CCM E4.5 has also added their quick release wrist strap to offer quick adjustments on the blocker for the goalie to get their own proper feel and most control for their liking.
Moving on to the base of the fingertips, CCM has upgraded their protection on the E4.5 by adding two flaps that sit over top of the finger for more protection while covering pucks on the ice and from the odd puck occasionally riding up the stick.
The palm over the blocker is now CCM’s Grey Nash material which offers a more comfortable handle and helps soften up the feel of holding a stick. Grey Nash also provides the proper amount of grip to hold a stick and not worry about the stick popping out their hands or not sticking when trying to poke check or play a puck.
If you are looking for a blocker that is designed for great rebound control and increased finger protection made for an entry-level goalie, the CCM Extreme Flex E4.5 Youth Goalie Blocker is the choice for you.
