JDiv Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Really interested once the specs come out on these pads. I think is safe to say the rebounds off the blocker and pads are going to be HOT since it looks like they're eyeing down Bauer, and thats just where the trend is going. No one mentioned the pants in the corner of the second picture which seem to feature some accordion style hip protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperton Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Blocker looks great. Pads look up-to-date. The most interesting thing to me is the deeper boot channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCM is not afraid to retire the Premier name and believes Axis will help continue their strong goalie success with the next waive of goalies. I was at my local shop and after speaking with the guy who handles the goalie equipment he seemed to indicate that CCM is worried. He said the reps came in earlier to go over the Axis line and they do have some concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said they are aware the Premier line is popular and its discontinuation will not be well received. He also brought up that they had concern with moving away from Lefevre. (I spoke with the local rep and he confirmed at the end of the calendar year the relationship between CCM and Lefevre will end). The biggest part of it was the are expecting a poor or slow launch for the Axis line with hopes that it will pick up afterward. Another point mentioned was the reception of the graphic was not the best but he feels once people see how customizable it actually is people might come around with it. I think its fair to say they understand the risk involved with the direction they are moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big2 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 If the orange/ blue graphics above are an option I don’t see any issues with the graphics. At the end of the day if the pads are better than the Premiers ( Which my son wears ) I wouldn’t have a problem considering these. Quality should be the same as the current CCM pads . What about the Eflex pads - will they be changed if the Lefebvre relationship is over ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korppi32 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Is Premier line really so popular anymore (outside Quebec )? Lot of CCM goalies use Eflex nowadays and you can find Premier pads "on sale" section. What happened to Bauer Reactors and NXGs? After three years those are really outdated models. What happened to JRZ? What will happen to Lefebvre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCM is using Axis as a way to innovate without giving up on the proven EF4 platform future of Lefebvre is TBD. May not have a clear forward until summer 2020.

ULTIMA Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Lefebvre certainly helped get the goalie division of CCM/Koho/Heaton/Reebok/etc. off the ground and kept it the top goalie brand around for like 3 decades. But if they decide to part ways, I don't think anyone should be worried. CCM has the money, they have the resources, they have the expertise and I think will do just fine without Lefebvre if the partnership is finished and still remain at the top.
