New Vaughn Velocity VE8 Junior Ice Hockey Goalie Leg Pads 22" + 2 White Jr pad

You are looking at a brand new pair of Vaughn Velocity VE8 Junior goalie leg pads. These pads are size 22+2" (different size may be pictured). The colors are White as shown in the pictures. The Velocity VE8 goal pad has been completely re-designed for 2018. The biggest two changes a consumer will see is the strapping system and the reduction in weight. The previous generation Velocity V7 still had a traditional strapping system but the 2018 VE8 has gone to the quick strapping that is very popular these days. The VE8 uses elastic straps like most brands but with one major change from other competitors; they use a magnetic clip system to connect the strap to the pad. Most companies use Velcro to connect to the pad, this is great at the beginning but the Velcro tends to loose its sticking capacity very quickly. Once this happens, the strap becomes useless. With this magnetic clip system, you will never have to worry about debris getting in the Velcro and loosing its ability to attach. Another difference you will feel on the VE8 versus older Velocity series is a stiffer ankle flex. While still very flexible compared to a blocking or butterfly style pad, there was a lot of feedback from Vaughn’s hybrid style goalies wanted this area to be a bit stiffer as the older pads would break down very quickly in this area. Vaughn also made another change and that was to the top binding. The Vaughn went away from a thin traditional binding to a thicker and more square binding design. This design change will do a better job sealing the five hole and creating extra strength to the pad while in the butterfly position. Features: Full Foam core internal structure same design as adult model Flat face front with solid top outside roll Wide leg and knee channel Smooth inside edge sliding surface New design top thigh area to maximize blocking surface Steeper scoop angle Full wrap style leg cradle padding Magnetic calf strap buckles Adjustable outer knee cradle panel New visually disruptive graphics Lower profile outside roll with single top break

The Vaughn Velocity VE8 XFP goalie pads are the latest addition to the XFP line, offering a blend of flexibility, performance, and modern design. Featuring the exclusive XFP core—Xtra Flexible Pure—these pads deliver a softer, more flexible feel without compromising on protection, making them ideal for goalies who want a traditional, comfortable pad with the lightweight performance of today’s technology. The VE8 XFP pads incorporate features from the Velocity VE8 Pro, such as a solid inside knee drive block and smooth inside edges for effortless movement in both stance and butterfly. With a thinned outer profile and outside roll, these pads are designed for weight reduction and enhanced performance.
