Intro & New Features

CCM has upgraded their stiff pad line for 2022 in the new Axis 2 goalie collection. The Axis 2 leg pads look to enhance the speed and agility of the classic butterfly goalie style by implementing improvements in the core, strappings, and overall responsiveness. The leg pads are equipped with many distinct features, including Max Rebound Technology, LiteXCore, Dynamic Response System Pro, Quick Motion Strap System 2, and CCM’s very own Speed Skin exterior material.

External Material

Speed Skin material returns on the Axis 2, having been seen before on the previous Axis gear and originally debuting on the Premier 2. This exterior material offers superior slide by reducing friction between the pads and the ice. The Axis 2 has additionally been fine-tuned in its sliding capabilities with the new Dynamic Response System Pro, which includes a one-piece landing zone and enhances seal along the ice when striding in butterfly. The Pro version of this system adds a new inner foam layering to better absorb impact.

Internal Construction

The Axis 2 incorporates returning core tech, Max Rebound , with newly introduced tech, LiteXCore, into the line. LiteXCore blends a stiff profile with highly responsive face foam for powerful rebounds. The core is also extremely light in weight and has been pro-molded for maximum mobility on the slide. Coupled with Max Rebound Technology, the pads are designed to help you control rebounds and reach all corners of the crease with exceptional speed. The HD raised flat inside edge design in the pad stabilizer further enhances seal and stability when in movement.

Pad Break

The pads are precurved with one internal break and no external break. This break works in tangent with the overall stiff flex profile, which is ideal for butterfly goalies.

Boot Angle & Toe Taper

The Axis 2 is furnished with a 90° boot angle and toe taper to offer the most seal and support along the ice. The shallow boot channel provides a closer fit, as well as additional control and reinforcement on the stride.

Knee Cradle

The pads use a recessed knee cradle to maximize mobility and enhance rotation. The knee cradle enhancements are part of the new hyper-absorbent knee stack construction, which greatly amp up the pads’ durability and seal when sliding across the ice. The knee cradle is open with a removable cradle wrap.

Strapping

The Axis 2 leg pads have a shallow, loose-fit leg channel coupled with their Quick Motion Strap System 2 to offer a comfortable and mobile fit, in addition to keeping you securely strapped in. The Quick Motion Strap System 2 on these pads is optimized specifically and strategically for the butterfly goaltender, so they can easily move and rotate their pads cohesively and in quick response to the play. The toe bridge has been outfitted with bungee toe ties for even better mobility and overall leg support.
