CCM has upgraded their stiff pad line for 2022 in the new Axis 2 collection. The Axis 2 blocker employs many new and returning technologies intended to offer elite performance with a very clean and sharp look. Tech used in the Axis 2 includes D3O foam, LiteCore, Speed Skin, DuraPalm, and Flexmotion 2 technology. This blocker looks to complete the collection with enhancements and upgrades tailored to the butterfly goaltender style.
External Material
Speed Skin is back on the Axis 2 blocker to greatly increase your mobility on the save. This outer skin is one of the lightest skins currently on the market, which is why CCM continues to use it in their goalie gear across all levels.
Internal Construction
The blocker once again uses LiteCore technology, which was originally seen in the Premier series. The Axis 2 put a major focus on power and rebound control, and LiteCore is able to offer that amazing power and balance at an incredibly light weight.
Palm Material
The Axis 2 uses an AX Suede DuraPalm for premium comfort and feel. The palm additionally has been treated with Polygiene and Odor Crunch liners to keep you feeling cleaner and fresher for longer during the game. To provide a more balanced feel, the Axis 2 uses a centered palm orientation.
Side Hand Protection
For elite protection against high-impact situations, the blocker is equipped with a molded X-stiff sidewall. The X-stiffness also works in tangent with the rest of the gear collection, which all follow a stiffer profile for a better seal and stronger power on the rebounds.
Cuff
The Axis 2 uses a Flexmotion 2 cuff, which has been segmented strategically to allow for easier movement and a greater range of motion. This is particularly important for butterfly goalies who may need to reach for and direct pucks from odd angles on the ice.
Hand Protection
Around the sidewall includes curved finger protection to keep your hand safe, even from impact coming from the side or a blind spot. The fingers at the front are additionally covered with D3O and an HD foam wrap. D3O is a military-grade foam material that offers maximum coverage and protection in such a delicate area.
Colors & Customization
The CCM Axis 2 Senior Goalie Blocker comes in Regular and Full Right configurations, and White and White/Navy/Red/Gold colourways.
