I didn't see a pro wear them, but I was just up getting my skates sharpened at Laurel, and they have the new CCM 4R (four roll obviously!!!)

They are absolutely georgous gloves, double knit palms, brown, with a charcoal/black nylon/leather glove.

Pretty snug in the finger, but loose in the palm/back of hand and very loose in the cuff/wrist.

"Pro-Spec" glove is $99, really nice

[G0NUCKSG0 0]

Look pretty good. This isn't the best angle though.

[HattrickSwayze 3]

Those look lightyears better than the Easton E-Pro's. The E-Pro's are garbage. I like the leather (synthetic?) gussets and palm on the 4R's. Might have to keep my eyes out for some. I think the cuff is a little long, but I like how the design continues up into it.

[VakarLajos 5]

they are very comfy. not as pillowy as the Bauer 4-Roll. Pretty durable from what I've seen as well.

[LkptTiger 1]

Sick sprayed SE16! Needs to be tongues-out though.

Shut up.

wow, looks like ccm did a great job with those 4R's. are they anywhere near as protective as the bauer 4-rolls? are they a bit lighter?

I tried on a bauer 4 roll and ccm 4 roll on the other hand yesterday. I would say the CCM is a bit lighter, but not where you could actually tell the difference, only if you are trying them on and consciously trying to tell.

I have a couple of photos of the charcoal ones on my phone, which to me look much nicer than the one pictured above, I'll try to upload them

CCM 4R - Pro-Spec - Charcoal/Black Nylon/Leather trim - not bad for $99. Feel fantastic on the hand by the way

Leather palm, nash reinforcement, double stitched, felt soft

[JGraz15 53]

Does it seem like it will be as durable as the Bauer 4 roll palm?

I really don't know. I'm not tough on palms, my friend is. I don't like the Bauer 4 roll, so can't speak to their durability.

All I know is it looks and feels pretty damn good

ak27 with sharpie

fixed

LOL, but there actually is a video showing Savard cutting down and spraying one of his AK sticks. Besides, sharpie doesn't stay black on sticks, it turns yellowish. Liking that shiny black pinky stripe. What material would that be? Not tufftek, classic or carbon I'm guessing.

get a better sharpie? I sharpied my dolo orange spikes at the bottom and it worked fine

[Jarick 5]

I sharpied some of my Dolo and it looked fine, just shiny, almost a little purple.

Doesn't really work for me! I guess I will have to buy a better Sharpie.

Also, is the NME Cover helmet dead in the water after Bauer's acquisition of Mission, or will Bauer rebrand it? Does anyone know?

No plans for that helmet, for now.

I have one (final spec, not VN) in Tampa Bay, will bring it home next week. I really like it.

JR,

did you get a chance to try the NME helmet? if so which other helmets are comparable to it in terms of the fit?

[carterb 0]

What stick is Kukkonen using?

Look at those Finland jerseys/socks. Any word on what is being used this winter? Swift's I take it? Will they be for sale anywhere?

[adam14 182]

thats a wooden bauer stick, before it was labeled the NBH ONE something.

[Drewhunz 3]

WRONG- it's a Brooklynite Marksman without a logo.

If you aren't positive, don't speculate.

KryptOng- NNE fits nearly identical to a VN Intake. At retail, close to an S9. However, this also depends whether or not the NME has the suspension system, or just a traditional VN lining.

Same design here on this screen as Kukkonen's stick, just his is all blacked-out. He's sponsored by Brooklynite.

The NME I have in Tampa Bay is a M and it fits me. It's got quite a bit of give in the liner.

[Drewhunz 3]

Fosho, very squishy foam.

[KryptOng 9]

Thanks JR and Drewhunz! I just ordered one and should arrive next week!

I can't find that Mission helmet anywhere! Where would I be able to purchase one?

I've been looking around for the NME helmet as well, I can't find it either.
