Be A Game Changer: The New CCM JetSpeed Hockey Stick!
Developed for the speed of today’s game, the 2018 CCM JetSpeed hockey stick features a hybrid kick point, a new geometry and the Jetstream blade. The new hybrid kick point creates a power hinge effect allowing the player to more fully load the shaft without any twist occurring in the shaft. The new JetSpeed shape provides a unique combination of comfort and control, while the JetStream blade employs CCM’s patented multi-channel blade and proprietary dampening material to achieve a blend of lightweight and feel. The final structure is reinforced with Sigmatex spread-tow technology from top to bottom, making it one of the most advanced products in the marketplace. Check out some of the highlights:
- HYBRID KICK POINT: The new kick point creates a hinge effect which allows for greater power while featuring a soft taper zone for increased speed.
- JETSTREAM BLADE: Featuring a multi-channel blade with a dampening layer on the entire face to achieve a unique blend of lightweight, feel and consistency.
- JETSPEED SHAFT: The new geometry offers a smooth transition area to maximize bending and efficiently transfer the energy stored.
- SIGMATEX: An exclusive spread tow fabric developed by one of the world’s leaders in composite technology that is not only ultra-lightweight, but very strong due its high tension weaving process.
Sports Etc Performance To Value Rating– 9 out of 10- Excellent value for a high-end performance stick. Ideal for any player looking for a mid or high flex point for a powerful shot.

Introducing MYBAUER “Scan To Skate” Custom Skates
Starting in Early August 2018, Bauer Hockey, the industry’s skate leader, will introduce the MYBAUER Custom Skates. The MYBAUER Custom Skate platform works off the pre-existing Bauer 3D Skate Lab interface. Once your foot scan is expertly examined and analyzed, the player chooses the eyelets, liner, tongue, and blades that best suits their game. The information is sent off to Bauer where a 3D model of your foot is created and the skate is built around YOUR foot! The MYBAUER Custom Skates are available in Bauer Vapor 1X, Supreme 2S Pro, and Nexus 2N Pro.
At Sports Etc we’ve scanned and analyzed hundreds of players feet with the 3D Skate Lab and look forward to helping you design your very own custom skates!

The Release of the Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Hockey Skate
Coming to stores on July 13 2018, Bauer will be releasing the newest skate to their Supreme line. The Bauer Supreme 2S hockey skate will include some of Bauer’s most innovative features to date. Here are some of the key highlights:
– LS5 Carbon Steel- The LS5 Carbon Steel from Bauer features a carbon chrome coating, which hardens the edges of the blades, and increases overall durability. The internal core of the LS5 Steel is also softer than a typical blade, which improves the sharpness and consistency at the edges. According to Bauer, the LS5 Carbon Steel will have an approximate 61-69% improvement in overall sharpness level compared to LS2 and other similar blades. The change is so drastic, Bauer suggests that you may need to choose a duller radius on the Bauer Supreme 2S skate. They feel that you will be able to maintain a strong bite on the ice, with a more shallow hollow because of the improvements made in the quality of the steel. A Bauer/NHL study found that most players chose a more shallow hollow after trying the LS5 Carbon Steel.
– Speedplate 2.0- The Bauer Speedplate 2.0 is a full custom footbed with multi-layer foam to help increase comfort and support. This in upgrade over the original Speedplate, which did not offer as much foam support, affecting the overall comfort of the product.
– 3 Piece 52 ounce felt tongue- The 3-piece felt tongue offers a unique blend of flexibility (3 pieces) for full range of motion, and protection with the 52 ounce felt padding throughout the tongue.
– Precision Fit Technology/Curv Composite Boot- Consistent with the high-end Supreme line over the most recent years– the 2S skate will feature a full Curv Composite boot, with an anatomical precision fit for a true custom fit around the contours of a persons foot.
Another interesting fact about the Bauer Supreme line– through 50 thousand foot scanes, the Bauer 3D Skate Lab found that 45% of players are an ideal fit for the Supreme line, over Vapor (43%), and Nexus (12%).

Introducing the Spine: Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Goalie Stick
With the meteoric rise in popularity of performance composite goalie sticks at every level of hockey, the Bauer Supreme 1S set a very high bar in terms of weight and balance. With the launch of the Bauer Supreme 2S Pro, the bar is set even higher.
The biggest improvement in the 2S Pro is the new Ergo Spine construction. This technology allows Bauer to compress and flatten the materials in the paddle reducing weight and increasing stiffness. As a result of this “flattening”, the spine of the handle is visible on the back of the paddle making for an extremely lightweight goalie stick.
Sports Etc Performance To Value Rating- 10 out of 10. The lightest premium goalie stick on the market today.
The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Goalie Sticks hits shelves on 5/18/18! Pre-Order yours today!
Get The Perfect Fit! The CCM 3D Hockey Skate Scanner
CCM Hockey jumps headlong into the 3D skate scanner market with the launch of the new CCM 3D Fit Scanner. The CCM 3D Fit Scanner combines elements of other popular skate scanners resulting in the most versatile scanner on the market. The CCM 3D Fit Scanner can be used 3 ways-
- Skate Recommender- The 3D scanner interface can be used to analyze any set of feet and recommend the ideal size and line of stock CCM skates. It even gives you the second best choice.
- 3D Custom Mold- The 3D scanner interface can be used to order a set of 3D custom molded skates. In this process, a 3D model of your foot is created and a Super Tacks AS1 is pressure molded to the model giving you a perfect fit right out of the box! This process takes about 8 business days and is the best option for a custom fitted skate.
- Total Custom Skates- The 3D scanner interface can be used to create a true custom skate. The process is the same as the 3D custom skate, but your options are greater. Among the options are a choice of Super Tacks AS1, Jet Speed FT1, Ribcor 70K, different sizes for left and right foot, different tongues and many more options. Total Custom Skates take 2-4 weeks for delivery.
