Question About Equipment in Junoir Hockey

[-brady2 0]

I know this topic is old but I thought I would share some knowledge anyway. I played junior for a long time and this is how the OHL,WHL,QMJHL work. Yes RBK/CCM now own sole exclusive rights. As CCM is just as heavily marketed as RBK each team in the leagues designated to wear either one or the other. meaning helmets pants and gloves. If you as a player dont like RBK gloves and want to wear CCM...too damn bad....your equip manager doesnt want to hear it. As for sticks and skates. The equipment managers are mandated by the leagues contract with the major supplier as to how many of what brand can be used. Example back when I played only two players could wear Graf skates on each club..if i remember right. Same goes with sticks. Majority should be RBK/CCM with other brands mixed in. Sher-wood had a lucrative deal with the CHL but it expired this season.

The skates are what would screw me over the bost having really really narrow feet.

And Yeah, the AJHL in alberta is sposnored by sherwoods, those new OPS' look pretty nice too actually.

Actually the AJHL's deal with Sherwood ended and now it's CCM/RBK.
