Intro & New Features
CCM has released the 4th Extreme Flex pad, with the new E4.9 as their performance pad. The new pad brings incredible improvements, increasing the competition in the performance pad market. With velcro strapping, speedskin, their new flexible toe string system, the E4.9 isn’t here to disappoint.
External Material
The E4.9 is wrapped in speedskin, enabling a smoother transition on the ice to increase speed and energy transfer. Speekskin was introduced in 2017 with the E-flex 3 pro pads and has became a mainstay on CCM pads now as their skin of choice.
Internal Construction
The core on the E4.9 consists of CCM’s Dualitecore Technology enabling better torsional flex, while remaining incredibly light. The improved torsional flex protomes the entire pad to seal the ice when sliding or making a save.
Pad Break
The pad break on the E4.9 consists of one outer break and an internal precurved single break. This maximizes flexibility and closes the five hole without sacrificing structural integrity.
Boot Angle
To keep this pad soft, CCM made a deep ultra soft boot channel allowing free mobility. The boot angle is 90-degrees offering some flexibility for when pushing along the ice.
Knee Cradle
CCM uses recessed foam with a removable knee cradle wrap to allow customizability and comfort. This deep knee cradle is designed to help close the five hole and prevent you from falling off the knee stack while still having mobility and not feeling restricted.
Knee & Thigh Protection
CCM doesn’t have any knee/thigh protection included with the pad.
Strapping
CCM introduces their quick motion strap system to the E-flex line. This strapping system finally eliminates the buckles that CCM has been using, and makes the pad a more modern by having all velcro straps, 2 along the calf and one around the knee, encouraging you to get dressed and undressed faster than ever before. As for the toe ties, CCM has brought a bungee cord velcro system, similar to infamous HAL straps, giving a more adaptive feel while playing while also being quick, secure and easy to do up.
Toe Taper
The E4.9 has a small toe taper to allow a deeper stance without allowing the pad to lift off the ice, therefore keeping a nice seal.
Sizes & Colors
The E4.9 Will be offered in many colours such as all White, White/White/Black/Black, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, and Toronto Maple Leafs. Sizing for the E4.9 INT is available in 29+1, 30+1, 31+1 and 32+1.

Goalie Leg Pad Sizing
Sizing up your goalie leg pads is crucial for having total control while moving in the crease. There are two different measurements you can use to project the size of leg pad you should be wearing. The first one is your floor-to-knee measurement, which you can match up with our provided sizing charts to find the size of pad you would wear, before plus sizing. The second is the sum of your skate size, mid-ankle-to-mid-knee measurement, and your mid-knee-to-mid-thigh measurement. This measurement gives you a rough idea of what overall size pad you should purchase.
Sizing before Purchase
For measuring your floor-to-knee:
- 1. In your bare feet, place the beginning of your soft measuring tape at the inside of the bottom of your foot.
2. Slightly bend your knee.
3. Run the soft measuring tape up your shin, to the middle of your knee.
4. Match your floor-to-knee measurement with our provided sizing charts.
Skate size + mid-ankle-to-mid-knee + mid-knee-to-mid-thigh
- 1. Take your skate size (for example, size 10).
2. Start your soft measuring tape at the inside of your mid-ankle, and run it up to your mid-knee (for example, 18 inches).
3. Now, from your mid-knee, run your soft measuring tape to your mid-thigh (for example, 7 inches).
4. Add your measurements together (10 + 18 + 7 = 35 inches).
5. This means you should be looking into a 35” pad, give or take.
It should be noted that these measurements line you up for an accurate fit, and not a fit that is intended for growing room. Also, different brands size differently, meaning a 35” pad in one can be a 34” or 36” in another.
Sizing after Purchase
Once you have your new leg pads, you’ll need to make sure they fit you properly. To do so, you’ll need to put the pads on with your skates, as if you are about to go on the ice. There a couple things to do to check size, once you have the pads on:
- 1. Stand straight, bring your feet together. This will show you the overall height of the pad, while on. Your pads should not, in any case, surpass your hips. Realistically, you want the top of your pad coming up to half-way point of your thighs. A pad fitted for growing room will be a little taller, so a little above the half-way point is normal. In any case, your preferences can alter these suggestions.
2. Secondly, go in your stance, keep your hands in a ready position, and drop to your butterfly. Without moving your legs to correct your butterfly, bring your heels together. This is where you assess your knee position. For a perfect fit, you want the middle of your knee to sit directly on the centre of the knee stack. If you’re looking for growing room, you want the middle of your knee to land roughly 1.5” below the centre of the knee stack—1” for junior.
Additional Information
Not getting a complete seal while in your butterfly?
- If you are having trouble getting a full seal in your new pads, it may be the way you’re strapping them up. If this is the case for you, make sure your boot strap and top (above knee) straps are loosened up a bit. The reason you want these straps loose is because they have a direct effect on the rotation of the pad. Therefore, having a loose boot strap makes it easy for your foot and ankle to rotate as the pad moves; same goes for the top straps, as you do not want them pulling down too hard on the thigh rise.
