Goalies will notice the AXIS A1.5 provides unbelievable maneuverability due to game-ready fit straight off the shelf. This trapper offers great value for younger goalies as it carries most of the same specs as the A1.9 at a lowered price point. Staying true to the features that have made CCM trappers a favorite among goalies worldwide, this trapper is sure to have you making glove saves all day long.
External Material
CCM uses Speed Skin material on the AXIS A1.5, currently one of the lightest skins used in the goalie world. CCM is taking a “don’t fix what isn’t broken” approach when it comes to the skin on their gear.
Break Angle
The first thing you’ll notice about the AXIS A1.5 is not only that it’s more comfortable, but also that it is truly game ready. The break angle is the same as past CCM trappers, but by no means is the glove the same. The low-density finger padding on the backhand provides further flexibility for the young goalie making sure that while fully protected, they will still be able to make glove saves all day long.
Pocket Design
CCM’s AXIS A1.5 trapper features a double straight T pocket design. The double straight T increases visibility for the goalie when searching for pucks during a scramble. Additionally, the double straight T offers a wider pocket for increased surface area and a decreased chance of a popout.
Strapping
The strapping on the CCM AXIS A1.5 stays familiar with previous CCM trappers. The quick-release webbing strap allows for easy and secure adjustments ensuring the perfect fit.
Cuff Design
The cuff on the AXIS A1.5 allows the goalie their full wrist mobility without any restrictions. A one piece cuff and thumb design lets the goalie present their glove the way they want to hold it while providing maximum coverage.

CCM’s AXIS A1.5 blocker comes in all white, all black, white/black, white/navy, and then the following team colourways: Chicago, Montreal, Toronto, and Detroit.

Goalie Catcher Sizing
More times than not, the fit of your Goalie Catcher is often overlooked. This is likely the result of the limited size availability compared to other pieces of equipment, however a properly sized Catcher provides you the protection and stick control you trust.
Which Catcher Size is for you?
The first step to finding the correct Catcher size is to utilize the “heel-of-palm-to-tip-of-middle-finger” measurement. This measurement will generally send you to the appropriate size you need.
Analyzing the Catcher Fit
It is important to make sure the palm lines up properly within the catching glove, so that it can be closed without excessive force. New goalie gloves will be difficult to close initially, but through either a standard break-in process, or "baking" the catcher with our in-house convection skate ovens, they will soften over time.
*We do not recommend using any conventional in-home ovens, as the results have been very unpredictable in the past and could damage your Catcher.*
Next you want to ensure the adjustable wrist strap goes directly across the wrist bone, and has minimal to no interference with your chest protector. The goaltender should be able to swivel their wrist to accommodate a range of save selections without any restrictions from the chest protector.
Sizing for Growing Goaltenders
For growing goaltenders we recommend following the guidelines set above, rather than sizing up to accommodate growth. Oversized goalie gloves restrict control, especially for young developing goalies. As you climb the size ladder for Catchers, typically the glove requires more strength for pocket closure.
Which Hand Do I Need?
Figuring out which hand you need for your Catcher can be slightly confusing. Goalies generally refer to themselves as "REGULAR" or "FULL RIGHT". Below is the easiest way to simplify which hand you need.

- Regular - Catcher worn on your Left Hand
- Full Right - Catcher worn on your Right Hand
