CCM Extreme Flex E6.9 Senior Goalie Skates
New for 2023, CCM has stepped their game up in a big way with the new EFlex E6.9 Goalie Skates. In the past CCM skates have fit well – particularly the more recent one-piece boots. However, they had a lagging technology in the blade department. This issue was a flat blade profile versus a radius blade profile that other brands had adapted to. The brands with a radiused profile allowed the goalie a greater range of movement and change of direction in the various goalie skating/save techniques. However, with the new Eflex line in 2023, CCM now has a 10F27 profile which will create this range of movement. The F27 will also provide a more aggressive, forward leaning position for the goalie. This will put the goalie to be on the balls of their feet and create a more natural aggressive stance.
CCM will continue to have a one-piece boot design on the Eflex skates. The one-piece boot design allows for a truly customized fit – without paying for a custom skate. Most skates have heat moldable ankles but lack any heat moldable ability in the front of the foot or the arch. The one-piece boot can form around these areas. We have found the one-piece boot extremely beneficial for goalies with arch issues.
Another item that we really like that is often overlooked is the footbed. These skates will come standard with a high end Ortholite footbed. Since goalies are the only player standing the entire length of the game, footbeds are extremely important for comfort. Comfort then promotes performance. Having a cheap footbed is an unseen negative repercussion to a goalie’s performance. We were happy to see a high-end foot bed in the new Eflex skates.
