The Next line is built to be lightweight and keep players cool and dry on the ice, while still providing players with protection from impacts.
Construction
The youth Next shin pads feature a lightweight shell design with it's durable plastic shell, keeping force away and player protected. These pads provide great mobility for players, allowing for more natural movements. These are reliable and provide functional protection with a light feel which is ideal for young recreational players.
Knee Cap & Protection
The kneecaps are built with PE plastic caps, which is a durable built that is designed to keep force away from the knee, helping players from injuries. This construction is a must-have protection for the kneecaps, in order to keep players at their best while being protected on the ice.
Calf Protection
The floating calf guard is made of PE foam, keeping the pad lightweight and still providing a high-level of protection. The plastic insert is made to provide an additional level of protection from impacts, helping prevent any injuries that may occur. The design is built to shape and wrap around the calf, offering a snug and comfortable fit.

The inside also features a comfort knee pad which helps lock the knee in place, brace it and keep it protected from all impacts.
Strapping
The Next shin guards use a Y-strap which is a comfortable and easily adjustable lock strap to keep all the padding and protective pieces in place.

CCM Hockey Shin Guards Sizing Chart
Player Shin Guard Sizing Information
When sizing a shin pad, you must determine first if you will wear the shin pad over top of the skate tongue, or if the skate tongue will sit in front of shin pad and “flop” forward. This will determined the length of the shin pad you will want.
Your knee should fit directly into the center of the kneecap, which is usually lined and padded to help direct it and provide comfort. Once the pad is strapped to your leg, it should be secure and snug and should NOT be able to twist rotate or slide freely. There are many strapping systems offered and you must decide what you like and dislike. On some models you will find anchor straps or thicker straps which can offer a better more secure fit. Anchor straps are made up of a stretchy knit material and usually fasten above or below the calf muscle. These straps are designed to anchor the pad in place and not allow it slide up or down. Thicker straps across the calf wrap/guard are also often used, these straps help provide full protection to your leg ensuring that the calf guard reaches across your leg.
Keep in mind that as you go up in price you will usually see more adjustments, options and higher density foams and technologies used. You must determine within your budget, which shin pad offers the most features that you want, as well as provides the most comfort.
Sizing a Shin Pad over top of your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number up to the next whole number (i.e. 13.2” becomes 14”). Because the shin pad is sitting over top of the skate tongue, it enables your to wear a slightly bigger pad without compromising mobility. This is usually seen as an upside because you get extra protection in areas like the tongue of your skate.
If you are sizing a player and want to include growth room, we do recommend this method as well, because it allows for a bigger pad to be worn, again without compromising motion or mobility.
Sizing a Shin Pad underneath your Skate Tongue:
To size a shin pad correctly when fitting over top of your skate tongue, measure the length (in inches) of your leg from the middle of your knee cap, when it is bent at a 90 degree angle, to the top of the boot of the skate. Once you have this measurement, round the number down to the next whole number (i.e. 13.7” becomes 13”). Because the shin pad is shipping underneath the skate tongue, the pad will not be able to sit right against the edge of the skate and thus a slightly shorter shin pad is used. If a shin pad that is too big is tried on, you will notice that the shin pad is shifted up and the kneecap falls out of the designated spot. If this happens your shin and knee will not be properly protected and you are more susceptible to having your shin pad rotate or more as well.
Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided to find your best fit. As well, use the measurement that was taken above to compare to the provided charts. Another good estimation is to look at your old/existing shin pads to see what size they are. If you are growing and have outgrown them, then next size up is probably for you. If you liked the way your shin pads felt, it may be smart to continue with the same size.
