OVERVIEW
The Vaughn VX1 Junior Goalie Pads bring elite-level design down to a youth-optimized package, replacing the V10 Junior with a lighter, more responsive pad built for developing goaltenders. With a firm front surface and rebound-active core, these pads help younger goalies control rebounds more effectively while staying mobile in the crease.
Engineered with Quick-Slide material on the inner edge and bottom trim for smooth movement across the ice, the VX1 Junior also includes a pre-curved shape for a natural fit, a square inside edge, and an expanded inner leg cradle for improved comfort, rotation, and seal. Designed with performance and growth in mind, this pad delivers all the tools needed for the next generation of goalies.
