CCM Extreme Flex 3 Blocker Review

Proven performance with every save.

A new NHL season is upon us, and with that comes new equipment being dawned by the pros. Since the World Cup of Hockey in September, up until now, you have seen many trademark goalies wearing the new CCM Extreme Flex 3 lineup. In late October, CCM hosted us for a product knowledge for their new 2017 equipment, including the E-Flex 3s. After getting to see the stuff in person, I’m writing to relay the new info to you about the newest and lightest pad from CCM!

CCM and Lefevre continue to design great gloves, year after year. While the mantra is “a blocker is a blocker,” the blocker is the most undervalued piece of equipment. Coming back with a binding-less face, the E-Flex 3 blocker has a very aesthetic look and maximized coverage.

E-Flex 3 blockers come stock with a centred palm position, giving it a balanced feel and light weight. HD foam is used to construct the blocker face and side boards, ensuring consistent rebounds.

Adjustable Cuff

To make sure you’re getting those consistent rebounds, the E-Flex 3 blocker features an adjustable cuff. The adjustable cuff allows you to adjust the cuff for a greater range of motion, enabling you to make proper contact with the puck.

D3O® Smart Material

Finger protection comes in a surplus with the E-Flex 3. HD foam finger guards, D3O index finger reinforcement, and a new shallow finger protector. D3O has vibration dampening properties when in the form of a foam. The D3O foam is inserted around the perimeter of the index finger stall, ensuring protection from any contact.

Shallow Finger Protection

The shallow finger protection is an HD foam insert behind the side bard of the blocker and extends toward the index finger.

In Summary

When it comes to goalie equipment, CCM is the model of consistency. Every year, both their pros and their aspiring pros know the type of performance they’ll get from their CCM equipment, and the Extreme Flex 3 blocker is no exception to the rule.
