The CCM Next Shoulder Pad is a wonderful choice for the brand-new or casual player who is in need of a lightweight shoulder pad but with protection to suit recreational play.The inclusion of standard foam provides lightweight yet effective torso protection, while compress-molded foam enhances safety in the sternum guard. This sternum protection also floats above the jacket, allowing extra mobility for the player while keeping the protection where it needs to be. A standout feature at this price point is the length adjustable bicep guards, which can be moved up or down on the arm to ensure proper coverage and dialed-in fit for maximum comfort.
