A favourite in the goalie world of trappers is back again in the 4th rendition of the Extreme Flex line. The CCM E-flex 4.5 trapper brings improvements without changing much on the glove worn by the masses. With a stock double T pocket, Injected molded PE thumb protection and quick strap release, this glove stays true to the features that popularized it in the first place.
External Material
CCM uses SpeedSkin technology on the exterior of the glove. SpeedSkin is CCM’s new skin for their equipment, promoting faster and more efficient sliding along the ice.
Break Angle
The trapper keeps the same angle as always with a 600 angle or 75-degree when comparing to other brands. This angle promotes the glove to face more outwards rather than upright. Designed with input from CCM, this glove is great for playing the puck and catching pucks far away from the body.
Pocket Design
The pocket comes with a stock double T design to promote a larger, more open pocket as well as increase visibility when covering the puck. The double T design is also believed to provide more puck retention, making sure you don’t drop anything.
Strapping
The strapping stays familiar on the E-flex 4 with the addition of the new Quick Release webbing strap over the wrist.
Cuff Design
The cuff and thumb is composed of injected molded PE and PE foam for impact absorption.
Colors
The blocker comes in white and black/silver as well as team colours such as Montreal, Chicago, Toronto, etc.

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
