One of the kids on my team last season had the toe box of his CCMs actually fall off of his skate while he was putting them on so he just taped it back on so that he could play the game. So now he has bauers. 

Exactly same issue x2. Clear tape skills are clutch. Worst part is that my son is a 17 year old defenseman. Not the best thing to be with a broken toe cap. Junk.

I had a pair of CCM's with the XSG holder and they used plastic retaining screws, one of which snapped during warmups of an A-level men's league game for me.  Fuckin pieces of shit.

So the screw material isn't the same for all of their skates. Some plastic, some steel. Son's plastic one broke in warmups. Pro shop didn't stock new screws (why not?). So I drove to the local PIAS about 7 mins away. Bought a pair of used CCM skates with the steel screws, drove back in time to put them in my kid's skate before the end of the first period while he was sitting on the bench.

That's some A+ dadding right there.

Yeah I bought a set of the metal ones after that game.  Baffling that they used plastic to save a few cents.

Some sitings from the Nerd on Instagram

Fleury looks like a tree

Gus bus testing all Bauer, no more True glove (maybe?)

Elvis testing True, would suck to see him leave Bauer he has had some great sets with them. Also curious about this glove, looks similar to Gibson’s 2 piece

The glove is in fact a 2 piece. Took this photo this morning.

Looks like a two piece 600 even. Very strange

Dude deserves to be a bonafide starter just for gear style alone.

Don't forget to credit the dude that designed his graphics.

I think this might be a two piece 600 judge by stitch in the tee

Would be a weird change considering he’s been in a 590 bauer

Agreed and I could be wrong since the shape doesn't really line up

Thumb angle suggests this is a 600 to me

Yeah that's what I'm saying. The only vaughn it resembles to me is the v4 that Quick uses. Staying in the Lefevre family though it looks like my Koho 585.

Man, thats awesome. I broke my skates once when I was younger... Dad left to get me new wheels but never came back.

Kudos to you.

The hazardous looks like a great design but I see what you've all been saying about the graphic. Uck.

That graghic looks great, but I kinda wish they would have kept name as mach like they did with hyperlite.
