What's Winning on the ice? Bauer or CCM

 This post I will be showing which company made more money in the year 2022. Each brand makes sticks, skates, protective gear (elbow pads, shin pads, shoulder pads, and helmets), as well as apparel.  In the year 2022, CCM revenue was set at 1.5 million dollars. While in the same year Bauer's revenue was a lot greater than CCM at 500 million dollars.  Both companies make the same equipment and you can tell by sales and revenue which one appears to be the most popular. https://www.zippia.com/

 On this post I am going to show two professional hockey players that use each brand and tell about them and their stats.  Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leaf's is one of my favorite players in the NHL. He is an elite goal scorer and has won many awards including the Rocket Richard trophy twice which is the most goals in the NHL award, the Calder trophy which is rookie of the years, the heart memorial trophy which is the league MVP, and the Ted Lindsay award which is the best player in the regular season. Auston uses the CCM brand.  https://www.nhl.com/player/auston-matthews-8479318 Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils is also one of my favorite players. He's a very crafty, shifty, and smart player in the NHL. He has yet to win any awards but is only 22 years old and ended this season with 99 points in 78 games. A lot of people are saying Jack Hughes will be one of the top 5 players in the NHL within a couple years because of how well he plays. Jack wears the Bauer ...

This post I am going to compare two types of hockey skates. The Bauer Skates I am doing are called the Bauer Mach's and the CCM skates are called the Tacks.  I used CCM Tacks skates and I had to switch back to Bauer because the Tacks felt really wide and my foot felt loose in them. This season I used the Mach skates and I have nothing but good things to say about them. They were very easy to break in and very comfortable. New skates have a tendency to be very stiff and hurt your feet, but with the Mach's that wasn't the case for me.  Bauer Mach Skates  CCM Tacks

The general argument made by GetHockeyAdvice.com (https://gethockeyadvice.com/ccm-vs-bauer/)in their work CCM vs Bauer is that Bauer skates are more reliable than CCM. More specifically GetHockeyAdvice.com argues that Bauer makes a better skate than CCM does. They write, " I have a winner in the CCM vs Bauer skates battle. This article suggests that you should buy Bauer skates if you can. Their belief is that Bauer is better.  In my opinion GetHockeyAdvice.com is right because I have wore both types of skates and always find myself going back and wearing Bauer skates. I like the fit and the feel of the Bauer skate better. It feels like my foot just slips right in like a shoe. They feel lighter and easier to skate. Sometimes the CCM skates don't feel as comfortable. They feel heavier and not as smooth skating. Therefore I conclude that Bauer is better.
