CCM Eflex 7.9 Catcher SR
Intro & New Features
New for the CCM EFlex goalie line in 2025, CCM has released the Extreme Flex E7.9 goalie catcher. This catcher comes with a 580 break angle which is seen on many popular catchers, a crossform strap to secure the hand in place while making saves, and a single T pocket design with skate lace webbing for excellent puck absorption.
External Material
The catcher is covered with CCM’s Speedskin material, which can also be found on the leg pads. This is a light synthetic leather that’s lighter than traditional JenPro with a more consistent look and feel. Speedskin on the catcher does not have the same amount of slide as it does on the leg pads, so you can be assured you will still have elite-level control of the puck.
Break Angle
The original 580 catcher break angle is characterized by a more open and rounded shape when the glove is closed and offers a wider catching surface, which is often preferred by goaltenders who prioritize a more natural feel and want a larger pocket to catch the puck with greater ease.
Pocket Design
The EFlex 7.9 catcher uses a reinforced single T design. This provides a snappy closure and the reinforced construction helps maintain its pocket shape for longer. The full hand closure provides goalies with more control of the glove, making saves easier. The pocket works well with the 580 break to provide increased surface area for catching and puck retention.
Strapping
The backhand of the catcher features a Cross Form strap, which secures the back of the hand through multiple attachment points, allowing for greater wrist mobility and responsiveness. In addition to the backhand, the inside has finger stalls with added fit adjustments. The comfort mesh finger stalls have responsive and adjustable Neoprene pinky and thumb loops to keep your hand locked in.
Cuff Design
Litecore technology is injected into the cuff and thumb to provide the fastest and most efficient response from its lightweight and protective capabilities. It’s designed to make it extremely easy to open and close the glove. The catcher also uses a flexmotion cuff. The new cuff shape provides added range of motion and greater integration with the arm & body.
Backhand Protection
The backhand is protected with the integration of the HD Flexmotion backhand. This design helps goalies stay protected with strategic flex points for easy open and close of the glove, with added impact protection to allow them to make saves while reducing any chance of injury.
Palm & Liner
The E7.9 catcher comes with a hexa palm which has a new textured design for increased control and comfort while goalies make saves with their glove. It also features a game-ready fit with layered foam protection for an easy break in process and better puck absorption.
