CCM Hockey Skates - Page 4

Yes, CCM skates are excellent quality. The company is well known for producing some of the highest-performing hockey equipment available, and their skates are used by players of all ages and abilities.

No Bauer and CCM are not the same company. Bauer was founded in 1927, and CCM was founded in 1899; the two brands have operated independently for much of the last century.

CCM introduced the one-piece skate to the market several years ago and the design has become popular in the NHL, with as many as 150 players choosing to wear it.

NHL players wearing CCM skates include Sidney Crosby (PIT), Jamie Benn (DAL), Nico Hischier (NJD), Miro Heiskanen (DAL), John Tavares (TOR), Auston Matthews (TOR), Nathan MacKinnon (COL).

CCM researches, develops, tests and prototypes its products at its Montreal headquarters in Canada. Then, the company has the retail skates manufactured in Asia, and from there, they are distributed to retailers in North America and Europe. Pro stock skates, which are made specifically for professional players are typically made completely in Canada.
