CCM Premier R1.9 Senior Goalie Leg Pads
The Premier R1.9 Leg Pads are a product of the Elite Leferve factory and touts the lightest injection molded foam core since Premier made its debut. The thinner profile cuts weight and enables a deeper, more complete fit. The new profile also enables a deeper stance and minimizes interference with the rest of your gear. This combined with PE foam Knee Raisers helps to seal the pad to the ice throughout movements. Further weight reduction in the leg channel plus a revamped single knee and calf strap optimize movement and leg rotation. This makes transitioning into the butterfly and reverse VH stance a breeze, closing down that 5-Hole better than ever before.
The high density foams that allowed for the improved profile are also a notable improvement in their own right, and are engineered to improve the center of mass and reduce weight in key areas in order to maximize the pad's performance. The pads also feature a new strapping system thanks to CCM's work with the University of Western Ontario, replacing a variety of leather straps with Velcro enclosures to minimize weight. However, the improved Pro Strap System under the knee and above the calf is built with high end pro leather to ensure it lasts for the long haul, and holds as snug as possible over the life of the pad.
CCM utilizes a "Floor to Knee" fit guide to determine the proper leg pad size to meet your needs. To determine your "Floor to Knee" measurement, measure the distance from the floor (in bare feet) to the middle of the knee cap, straight up, knees slightly bent. Find this measurement in the chart below, then look at the number above it to find your pad size.
If fitted properly, the goalie's knee should rest in the center of the knee cradle with the pad securely attached to the goal skate and properly strapped on the goaltender's leg. Generally, this will ensure that the pad breaks (bends) at the knee/shin and ankle as designed for optimal performance.
