I feel like I read a while back they were planning to release a chesty next year but I couldn't tell you where I saw that. If the True hockey partnership comes to fruition I would think they would expand to most other areas of gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won’t be a P1 remake, I don’t think they had anything to do with the design and manufacture of those. Even going back to the RBK days?

Looking back on it, I can't think of a single chesty released by Koho/CCM/RBK/Reebok that ever had the Lefevre badging on it. I think if we trace back the "ancestry" for the CCM ABPro, we'll see: Heaton Helite 4/5 -> Koho 570 -> Koho 590 -> RBK Premier 1 -> Reebok P1 -> CCM ABPro Brian Heaton had templates for the Helite 4 and 5 in his shop when he went off on his own to start BHG. So I am pretty damn confident that the ABPro/Premier 1/Kenesky PP1 of today has roots with Mr. Heaton (RIP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not like a P1 BUUUUT, the ABPro sure looks like a Heaton and a P1 got together at a party, found a closet and had some fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extended shoulder wings, rounded halfmoon belly flap, heart guard and extensive rib protection. All things that the H5 was missing in some way. I could of lived with everything but I was always a tad nervous about my ribs and one timers off the pass. I have a TGC Spec P1 and the rib protection was well welcomed. My GT2 (still unused) has a ton of protection there as well. Anxious to give it a run in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first post in bold suggests there was some fusion of the P1 and the Heaton to arrive at the ABPro. The ABPro is a direct, stitch for stitch clone of the Premier 1.
