Sidney Crosby using Vector Pros?

[7joe1 0]

There is an article in the current ESPN Magazine featuring Sidney Crosby and one of the images displays him holding a pair of Vector Pros outside. Has he switched from Bauer recently or what?

Yeah I saw that. Looks like he's CCM now.

Word from Reebok is that he will be the first player to wear Reebok's hockey skate.

If GM has a source for that, he may know better than I. But I remember a year or two ago, ESPN the mag doing an article on the some of the good Swedish players in the league. They had Sundin and Nasland, Alfredsson, and maybe Forsberg standing around in there gear, and all the players were wearing E-60's.

My guess is that CCM hooks up ESPN for photo shoots?

Also, do you have confirmation that there will be a Reebok skate? Reebok wouldnt stand a chance if they got rid of the CCM name

Sidney was wearing Vapor XXs yesterday at the LA Kings Prospect Camp.

Was it CCM that had the Reebok Pump a few years back?

Also, I think I've seen a Crosby Pattern on the Sherwood website. Was he an Eclipse guy this season (at some point)?

[Chadd 916]

I thought he used a Momentum.

In the article he had a shaft/blade combo I'm pretty sure. I'd guess it's the Force, but the blade had the shortest hosel I'd seen in some time.

I can confirm what GM's saying. I've also heard rumors of a Reebok skate. However in that ESPN photoshoot he still used SW sticks.

Is this going to be a fourth brand for THC or are the old names going to go away?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

I doubt it. It'll probably be something along what Nike did.

I doubt Reebok will lose the the CCM name. If anything, Reebok will develop their own line. Just like Nike/Bauer.

Outstanding, I can't wait to see what they come up with.

They need to streamline the three brands as it is, the products overlap too much. Getting rid of the Koho skates was a step in the right direction. It just seems like there's a lot of competition in the high end skate market, and that market isn't growing as fast as the competition is growing.

THE PUMP...

LOL...everyone I know who had a pair blew the bladders up...

The pump was the best. The best skates I ever had were the 652 tacks with the pump.

[stevo 0]

The pumps were pure gimmick. They had limited functionality and that was for a short period of time before they blew up. I'm glad CCM stopped that nonsense.

[Lightning 0]

I had the 652 pumps, I thought they where good too. I liked the pump feature to use during games, instead of having to tighten the skates I could use the pump to get the skate a little more snug if needed.

crosby seems to be using sherwood sop woody this time. i wonder why he doesn't use synergies n comps?

[Chadd 916]

Everyone I know that had them absolutely loved them.
