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

Yes but he is wearing a ccm helmet and gloves. Maybe he didnt get his skates in yet.

i just wonder why they let him workout with a pro team when hes not elegible for the pros yet?

if that was basket ball, he would have to sit out the rest of his amateur carrer

It's better than the NBA letting Nike and Addidas run the camps and take care of the kids under the table.

Crosby's agent is from CA and has connections with the Kings. Most of the other prospects in that camp are represented by the same agent.

hey flaming_june he doesnt use synergy's and that cause he is sponsored by sher-wood.

k thx, but im more intersted in why hes woody when he used comp sherwood sticks before.

more of a why HE would do it rather than legal reasons.

All i want to know is when can i get my I3 DMX low cuts.

i never seen him using a one piece stick...but i do know that he used the force flex shafts for awhile...but i don't know why he would be using a sop wood stick??...possible just trying new things out see if he liked it or not for next season?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Why do people always question it when some players don't use one-piece sticks? I honestly don't get it. Simply, they're not for everyone.

If GM has a source for that, he may know better than I.

Graz,

YES, I have a VERY reliable source within the industry. I have been told that he has signed a deal with CCM/Reebok for everything except stick, until his SW deal expires. He will be THE highest paid player to endorse any hockey product(s) in the World when the deal happens. I am not sure when the deal will be announced, however, I was told that he will be the first to wear the skate. That is all I can say for now.

That could just be because he has to wear a CCM helmet and gloves when he's playing with Rimouski due to CCM's deal with the CHL.

When I was talking with Sidney, he said he didn't really care for the ccm helmet or gloves lol..

I think someone said earlier that maybe his skates weren't ready yet...that would make sense. There is an article about him in USA Today and there was a picture was from the World Championships and he was head to toe Bauer... sounds cool for him

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

He was head-to-toe Bauer because BNH is the official sponsor of Hockey Canada.

Well, he was head to ankles because BNH sponsors Hockey Canada.

He wore Bauer skates because he liked them.

Sidney went back to a two piece stick yesterday:

Reebok and hockey dont go together, Reebok doesn't sound like the type of company that would be getting into hockey. Guess it's possible though.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Well, they did buy CCM, Koho and Jofa. That's a big way to get into hockey.

[Edge 0]

It is, but Reebok just doesn't seem like a hockey type company

[Chadd 916]

It is, but Reebok just doesn't seem like a hockey type company

And Nike wasn't before they bought out Bauer. They're involved in every other major sport and you have to move into new markets to expand your business.

[Speed Demon 0]

Reebok will have a cooler name and symbol then ccm though haha

[wristshot19 0]

Don't be surprised if you see the Koho name fade in to the distance. What is now Koho will probably change to Reebok.

[Edge 0]

Koho's probably the least popular name of thc...i agree.

[Chadd 916]

Koho has an excellent rep in goalie gear.

[Edge 0]

But not as large as CCM in Goalie gear imo, and jofa and ccm are more popular to people hands down then KOHO, even though KOHO makes some nice stuf, in Player gear.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Okay...

Koho has been making goal pads as long as I remember.

CCM branded goal pads have been around for what, 5-6 yrs?
