Interesting read. I never would have thought there was such a difference.

It has some flex to it. I edited my last post to add picks. The type of damage was similar, only deeper on the CCM's. I packed the opening with foam and then epoxy. It held up great until he picked up some Trues.

No Name Hockey custom stick. $150. Elite level weight and performance. Absolutely love it. I've been using 1Ns for the last couple years and this is arguably a better twig, especially at that price.

Hey guys, I'm JS, the skates product manager at CCM. I just wanted to address questions about fit differences on the CCM skates line that i saw in this thread. For those wondering if the new JetSpeed fit will be the same as the RBZ, i wanted to clarify that it will actually be very different. We now have 3 distinct fits for our 3 skates. Here's a quick synopsis: CCM JetSpeed: The JetSpeed is a first-of-its-kind fit for CCM skates. A lot of players had been asking us for a skate that wraps closely and comfortably around all the key areas of the foot (heel, ankle, and forefoot). That's how the JetSpeed was designed. Using our new skate building technology called RocketFrame, we were able to create a skate boot which is shaped ergonomically, with high definition curves that keeps the skate completely connected around the heel and ankle area to lock the foot comfortably in the skate. The angles that the RocketFrame Technology provides to the boot also allows the forefoot area of the skate to curve and wrap around closely to the top of the foot. The feedback on the JetSpeed has been fantastic. Many of our field testers have played with the skates right out of the box, no heat moulding. Others used head molding to micro customize the fit, to get it absolutely perfected. Everyone has been talking about the great heel lock from the deep pocket we have created in the skate. Overall, players can expect a closer, more contoured fit in the JetSpeed with a true high definition heel lock and a medium volume skate. CCM Ribcor 50K: This skate is built off mindset that players should be able to have a comfortable and customizable fit in a high performance skate. Ribcor 50K consists of a more flexible boot construction through the ribbed areas of the quarter package connecting the stiffer composite inserts. It's a skate meant to feel agile on the ice. The ComfortFrame technology used to build this skate consists of a dense EPP foam on the inside of the boot, which is very comfortable when pressed up against the forefoot. You'll feel it right out of the box. It allows the more narrow forefoot and sides of the skate to hug the inner and outer foot, with micro-customization that naturally forms the walls of the skate around the shape of the forefoot. The EPP foam is highly responsive and also allows a wider foot to fit in the skate, pushing the foam outward for players with a wider foot. Of course, the Pump allows players to fully customize fit of the back of the skate, most notably the heel lock. The Pump's bladder fills up the empty space between the heel bone and ankle bones until the player feels a perfected, personalized fit, with their foot locked in the skate. CCM Tacks The Tacks skate is our stiffest skate construction with a wider heel and forefoot. The best way to explain it is a more "traditional" CCM fit which our long time customers have been accustomed to. The skate's stiffer construction is meant for players who seek the ultimate in energy transfer and red-line acceleration. The carbon composite inserts at strategic areas in the skate help generate the speed and performance, which also means heat molding these skates is the best way to get that personalized, molded fit and wrap around the forefoot to make it a nice, comfortable skate. I hope this helps explain the different fit sensations that players will feel with each of our skates. We're extremely excited with our 2015 lineup!
