Overview
The Vaughn ION Junior Goalie Leg Pads are designed specifically for young goaltenders developing their game. Featuring a progressive flex profile, these pads provide the right balance of flexibility, stability, and rebound control to help younger players move confidently around the crease.
A high-density rebound core helps direct pucks away from the net, while the quick-slide inner edge material allows goalies to move quickly across the ice. With a pre-shaped design, open knee cradle, and wide leg support, the ION Junior pads promote smooth butterfly movement and reliable pad control while maintaining comfort and protection.
Lightweight construction and a low-profile upper section reduce bulk, making it easier for younger goalies to rotate their pads quickly and stay square to the play.
