2013 CCM Catalogue

[IDoezIt 9]

The RBZ was showcased @ the Lets play hockey expo but within a glass box. Not able to try it on. But man they are a sexy pair of skates.

And they do have that total edge comfort leather on it. Still cant wait for them

[JetsCanucks 6]

Any price on the RBZ 90 skates?

[GiancarloSFL 15]

JR any timeline on when to expect your RBZ skate review?

[Furyan 1]

Does anybody knows when release date for rbz skates will?

[JR Boucicaut 3793]

Summer

[mjpisat 36]

Any word when new gloves will be released

[hollowicked 39]

did ccm officially pull the plug on the rocketrunners?

[Furyan 1]

I believe yes -)

[mickz 107]

Skate sharpeners everywhere rejoice.

[JR Boucicaut 3793]

Not I. Never had a problem with them, and you can put a mean edge on them.

[IPv6Freely 2092]

Any word on the new CCM stick Kadri is using? 2014 model?

CCM has the current RBZ in 65 flex intermediate and 75 flex senior. I like my Warrior 70 flex intermediate. Which RBZ would I be better off with?

[ibeck 38]

Rbz stage 2

[IPv6Freely 2092]

Rbz stage 2

Yes, I know the name. More looking for when I can get my hands on it...

The RBZ feels stiffer than rated, I would say 65. But obviously kickpoint is a factor in feel as well.

[IPv6Freely 2092]

I'm leaning 65 anyway due to intermediate shaft dimensions. Thanks for the help, sir.

[Cove 38]

Never been a fan of CCM products but these RBK skates are REALLY appealing to me.

[LupoFiasco 1]

Yes, I know the name. More looking for when I can get my hands on it...

as posted publicly on their twitter account, July 19th. Along with RBZ skate line

[flyguy1 1]

Will the RBZ skates still have the U foam throughout the whole skate? And is the new holder going to put this skate pitched more on the heels compared to the CL with E-pros and there more aggressive pitch?

[chanxebyshev 8]

Maybe my math is rusty but in several places they say that the taller holder INCREASES turning radius by 10%.

bigger radius implies bigger circle i.e. wider turns

[Cosmic 178]

Will the RBZ skate be made in Canada, or in China? I heard that the CCM CL skates were being made in Canada, while the rest of the skates were being made on the other side.

[AIREAYE 248]

Canada was what I remember seeing on the tag.

[Cosmic 178]

Just got off the phone a couple hours ago with CCM. Here is the 411:

* July 19 2013: CCM RBZ Ice Hockey Skates launch

* Spring 2014: CCM RBZ Inline Hockey Skates launch

- no plans for CCM RBZ Shafts nor replacement blades; just the RBZ 2 OPS

EDIT/ UPDATE: just called CCM again last night to inquire about CCM CL shaft/blade 2 piece combo:

Cosmic: "Will CCM be releasing the CL shaft/ balde 2 piece option?"

CCM guy: "No, CCM is moving forward with just the RBZ."

Cosmic: "So, will there be RBZ shafts and blades then?" (to which the previous response was "No," by a different guy, one week ago).

CCM guy: "The RBZ shaft/ blade combo is not presently available."

So I responded, "I know, but what about in the future, will you be making the RBZ blade/ shaft combo?"

CCM guy: "It is not available now, I cannot comment on whether it will be out in the future."

The way it sounded, there may be a lid on the future release of the RBZ 2 piece. I realize this is pure speculation, after having lived a life full of my asking questions to "people in the know" who were made uncomfortable by my questions (because they were hiding something, or advised not to release intel on future plans). So, it just sounds like there is at least a chance for the RBZ 2 piece.

No sign of any CL500 protective line beyond the gloves?

I did not ask. The guy was really nice on the phone, and happy to answer all questions and expand upon all types of things; he would have talked all day if I did not thank him and end the call.

If any GTA members wanna see the RBZ skate in person Duke's has one on display not in a case. Nice skate seems similar weight and fit to the Crazylites. New steel is mirror like.
