CCM Extreme Flex E6.9 Senior Goalie Blocker – Special Edition
New for 2023 is the Extreme Flex E6.9 Senior Goalie Blocker. The Extreme Flex E6.9 is the lightest blocker CCM has ever made and the reason for that is a new inner core called Litecore. Litecore is not only lightweight, but also well balanced and produces very active rebounds off the face of the blocker. The face of the E6.9 blocker is binding less which gives this blocker the maximum surface coverage along with the best durability. The sidewall of the blocker has been segmented from the palm area which gives the goalie much better feel when holding the stick and stick handling. The Extreme Flex E6.9 senior blocker will continue to have a centered palm position (like previous Extreme Flex generations).
On the backside of the Extreme Flex E6.9 blocker, CCM will continue with the popular FlexMotion cuff which allows for maximum wrist mobility. Wrist mobility is extremely important and will allow the goalie to stay in complete control whether it is driving a rebound into the corner or making a saucer pass (maybe even shooting at the empty net). The finger protection of the Extreme Flex E6.9 blocker has full high density wrap around protection with the pointer finger being separated for extra finger flexibility. With the pointer finger in this position, it is exposed to pucks riding up the stick and injuring the finger. The thumb area has a high-density foam on the outside with a soft pillow separating the thumb from this outer area. We like this feature quite a bit, many blockers use a plastic molded outer thumb piece which makes the thumb flexibility to stiff. With the high-density foam outer, the goalie will still have the protection needed but with a much greater range of motion.
The palm of the Extreme Flex E6.9 will continue to use the pro grade Nash palm. This was the standard on all pro CCM blockers for years (the new Extreme Flex 6 has the new Dura Palm for 2023). The palm area is the weakest link on any blocker as they can easily wear out quickly. Goalies can take comfort in the E6.9 blocker knowing they are receiving a pro level palm.
Speedskin: The outer material of the Extreme Flex E6.9 senior blocker will use the Speedskin material. Although the Speedskin is most noticeable on the leg pads because it reduces friction between the pads and the ice, it is also a very durable material, By using the Speedskin on the E6.9 blocker on the bottom edge, it has been shown to be very effective on the paddle down technique (just like the pads, it reduces friction between the blocker edge and the ice). An overall advantage is the Speedskin has been proven as a very durable material.
Blocker Face: Just like the leg pads, CCM is looking for an extremely active rebound off the face of the blocker. The new Litecore face provides a lightweight face with active rebounds.
Palm: CCM will use a reinforced Nash material in the palm of the blocker. Not only is this material very durable, it is also super comfortable.
Sidewall: The E6.9 blocker will come with a very stiff sidewall. With a soft sidewall, a shot can push right through the blocker and end up being a bad goal let in.
Finger Protection:Â The Extreme Flex E6.9 blocker will have the full high density foam wrap around finger protection.

- Black, Royal Blue & White
