“The CCM EFlex 7.9 has arrived and it might be the most impressive senior-level release of the year. While most reviews focus on the pro model, the E7.9 deserves its own spotlight thanks to the performance it delivers at a more accessible price point. With this release, CCM clearly set out to elevate their senior price-point gear, and the result is a package that rivals pro-level offerings in both feel and function.”

“The CCM EFlex 7.9 is a top-tier performer at a much more accessible price.”

Intro & New Features

New for 2025, CCM released the Heaton Edition Eflex E7.9 catcher that delivers an iconic vintage graphic while delivering on the latest technology. This catcher comes with a 580 break angle which is seen on many popular catchers, a crossform strap to secure the hand in place while making saves, and a single T pocket design with skate lace webbing for excellent puck absorption.

External Material

The catcher uses JenPro leather material to deliver a durability while offering the traditional appeal of this vintage design. The JenPro does feature printed elements including the Heaton branding in the pocket, CCM logo on the cuff, and the curve element on the palm.

Break Angle

The original 580 catcher break angle is characterized by a more open and rounded shape when the glove is closed and offers a wider catching surface, which is often preferred by goaltenders who prioritize a more natural feel and want a larger pocket to catch the puck with greater ease.

Pocket Design

The EFlex 7.9 catcher uses a reinforced single T design. This provides a snappy closure and the reinforced construction helps maintain its pocket shape for longer. The full hand closure provides goalies with more control of the glove, making saves easier. The pocket works well with the 580 break to provide increased surface area for catching and puck retention.

Strapping

The backhand of the catcher features a Cross Form strap, which secures the back of the hand through multiple attachment points, allowing for greater wrist mobility and responsiveness. In addition to the backhand, the inside has finger stalls with added fit adjustments. The comfort mesh finger stalls have responsive and adjustable Neoprene pinky and thumb loops to keep your hand locked in.

Cuff Design

Litecore technology is injected into the cuff and thumb to provide the fastest and most efficient response from its lightweight and protective capabilities. Its designed to make it extremely easy to open and close the glove. The catcher also uses a flexmotion cuff. The new cuff shape provides added range of motion and greater integration with the arm & body.

Backhand Protection

The backhand is protected with the integration of the HD Flexmotion backhand. This design helps goalies stay protected with strategic flex points for easy open and close of the glove, with added impact protection to allow them to make saves while reducing any chance of injury.

Palm & Liner

The E7.9 catcher comes with a hexa palm which has a new textured design for increased control and comfort while goalies make saves with their glove. It also features a game-ready fit with layered foam protection for an easy break in process and better puck absorption.

Sizes & Colors

The Heaton Edition CCM Extreme Flex E7.9 Intermediate Goalie Catcher comes equipped with the nostalgic Heaton GP10 design, feature Heaton branding, GP10 logo’s, and a replicated graphic that uses both printed and cut and sew elements.
