CCM Next26 Youth Hockey Pants

CCM Next26 Youth Hockey Pants built for learning the game

The CCM Next26 Youth Hockey Pants are designed around the needs of children taking their first steps in ice hockey.

Instead of adding unnecessary bulk, the construction focuses on lightweight coverage around the areas most exposed during falls. The anatomical profile also allows young players to move naturally as they develop balance and skating technique.

Protection designed for young beginners

Falls are a normal part of learning to skate and play hockey. The Next26 provides protection around the hips, kidneys, thighs, spine and tailbone to help cover important impact zones.

This creates a practical youth hockey protective pant for children beginning practices and recreational play.

Moulded PE hip protection

The hips feature moulded PE caps designed to provide protection during falls and impacts.

The close-fitting construction keeps these protective components positioned around the body without creating unnecessary bulk for a small player.

Kidney and side coverage

The sides combine PE foam with moulded protective components to provide additional coverage around the kidney area.

This works together with the hip protection to help cover the young player's lower torso during introductory hockey sessions.

Reinforced spine and tailbone coverage

The rear section incorporates an injection-moulded hybrid spine shield to reinforce protection through the lower back.

A segmented tailbone design and additional padding provide coverage around the coccyx while allowing the protective structure to follow the player's movements.

This area is particularly useful for beginners who are still learning balance, stopping and directional changes on their skates.

Lightweight thigh protection

The upper legs are covered by moulded PE caps combined with PE foam.

This provides impact protection around the thighs while keeping the construction manageable for a young player.

Low-bulk anatomical profile

The anatomical shape keeps the CCM Next26 Youth close to the body, helping reduce unnecessary volume around the waist and legs.

For a beginner, this makes the equipment easier to move in and allows greater focus on learning fundamental skating skills.

Easy waist adjustment

A padded belt and lace-up front make it straightforward to adjust the pants around the child's waist.

A secure fit helps keep the protective areas correctly positioned while the player moves around the ice.

Stretch crotch for developing skating skills

The stretch crotch provides additional flexibility between the legs when the player bends the knees, widens the stance or begins to develop longer skating strides.

This mobility-focused feature allows the pants to follow the body more naturally during introductory skating exercises.

Comfortable interior

A sublimated liner provides a comfortable interior finish, while additional padding around the tail area enhances comfort during falls.

This helps make the equipment easier for a child to wear throughout a complete practice session.

Lightweight and durable outer shell

The shell combines 210D nylon with lightweight polyester to balance durability and manageable weight.

This construction is well suited to young players who need protective equipment capable of handling regular introductory hockey sessions without feeling excessively heavy.
