Originally purchased these two years ago for my (then) 9 year old son. He's now 11 years old, 53" tall, and 85 lbs., and simply outgrown the skates. They are in good shape, sharp, and ready to go!
These Bauer Supreme S27's are an excellent all-purpose ice hockey skate for the 8-12 year old kid looking for something that fits well and feels great for hours on end. The anatomical fit, combined with several key features, makes the S27 a fantastic value for the skater looking for some premium quality.
3-D Trueform tech PU quarter package for sturdy, customizable fit
Hydrophobic microfiber lining and memory foam ankle padding for dry comfort
FORM-FIT EVA footbed for comfort
TPU outsole for torsional stability
Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder for trigger-quick blade replacement
Tuuk stainless steel blade for affordable durability
The S27 makes use of the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder, which is the most popular edge holder in the NHL, thanks to Tuuk’s quick-release trigger system. With the Tuuk Lightspeed you can swap your steel out in seconds, keeping you on the ice and off the bench.
The stainless steel runners on the S27 offer excellent durability, and as they are joined to the TPU outsole—an upgrade over the S25’s TPR outsole—this S27 skate boasts a stiffness that’s great for youth players developing their stride and who benefit from a little more torsional rigidity.
The S27 includes a 2-piece, 48-oz. felt tongue made of thick foam. The tongue center is outfitted with a high-density, injected metatarsal guard for excellent lace bite protection.
The Supreme S27 boot ankle features thick memory foam pads. The large heel helps lock the skater’s foot in place to reduce the energy loss associated with interior foot slippage. The HD microfiber liner is both soft to the touch but also effectively wicks moisture away from the foot for a fit that’s dry, secure, and very comfortable.
The footbed in the S27 is Bauer’s Form-Fit EVA, which results in excellent comfort.
Bauer’s Supreme S27 offers a welcome array of elite-level features on a durable and high-performing skate sure to bring the ~10 year old skater years of reliable, comfortable use.
