The new pad for the Axis junior line is the A1.5 junior goalie leg pads. The A1.5 pads take the stiff, slim and light pad design inherited from the Axis Pro pads and makes it available to growing goalies. Featuring a simple velcro strapping system, bungee toe ties and a loose fit, the A1.5 jr pads will get your goalie out and stopping pucks as quickly as possible.
External Material
The A1.5 pads feature CCM’s exclusive Speed Skin material. This helps reduce friction on the ice and make the most of the power that the goaltender puts to the ice in the butterfly. The material can also help later on in games when the ice is slightly slower than at the beginning.
Internal Construction
The internal construction of the Axis A1.5 junior pads is going to be stiffer than quite a few of the other junior pads on the market. Featuring Litecore technology the A1.5 pads provide powerful rebounds that are designed to be kicked as far away from the goaltender as possible.
Pad Break
The A1.5 junior leg pads offer a pre-curved single inner break. This provides the goaltender maximum coverage, while helping close the butterfly.
Boot Angle & Toe Taper
The toe taper of the A1.5 junior pads works very well in conjunction with the raised flat inside edge of the pad, which is a large change when compared with the older premier pads. The flat inside edge allows for incredible seal as well as greater stability while in the butterfly.
Knee Cradle
The knee cradle of the Axis 1.5 goalie pads feature traditional PE foam and nylon protection. The knee wrap is also removable and gives the goalie an option for the tightness and strapping location.
Strapping
Velcro strapping has become very popular in the goalie world, and CCM is not lagging behind here. The QMSS system provides a familiar loose feel but is limited to 3 total velcro straps. The pad also features velcro bungee cords to limit hip strain as well as
