The Statistics

In this blog I am going to tell about the statics of the two brands. In the 2021-22 season of the NHL 70.3% of the players were wearing Bauer skates, and 19.8% of them used CCM. The remaining 1% of players wore true custom skates.  I will break down each skate and what percent used them in that season. For Bauer in 2021-22 39.7 percent of players used Vapor, 28.7 percent used supreme, and 2 percent used nexus.  In 2021-22 Jetspeed was the most used CCM skate. Players used 9.4 percent Jetspeed, 6.2 percent used Tacks, and 4.2 used Ribcore.  All of this information is based on statistics. If your going to buy a pair of skates, I would suggest to go to the local store and try on each brand and style, then find which one is the best fit and most comfortable for you personally.  https://goingbardown.com/

These skates have a wider base boot but are also not to wide. There is a heel pocket in these skates which drops your heal back giving your foot more room. I use Bauer Supreme skates and don't think I'll ever switch.  If you have a wide foot, Bauer Nexus would be the skate for you and CCM Ribcore is also a wide skate. These skates are not as comfortable as the other ones but will give you enou...
