When does Sid make the switch? I noticed he is still Reebok-ed out

His Reebok deal encompasses more than NHL exposure. He's one of the faces of the company.

They look almost like RBZs

btw shouldn't there be a new rbz this year rather than a new ribcore, since rbz are from 2013 and ribcore are from 2014?

retailers are putting the old RBZ line on discount, definitely a sign eh!

SB, not Epro

figured it was probably personal preference as I was sure Step Steel isn't coming standard as well lol, and since ribcor original recipe already has SB, but wanted to ask to make sure. All ive seen in these photos is TUUK and now EPro holders so far =)

I'm hearing David Perron will be debuting the CCM Ribcor skate tomorrow night, in white trim (which will be available retail next year.)

There will be.

Yeah, maybe, but it's a little strange that there's nothing about a new rbz for this year, while there's already sth about a new ribcore for next year

It's not a maybe, I'm telling you there is a new CCM RBZ line.

If you were introducing product, you wouldn't introduce 2 new lines at once because it cannibalizes each other's exposure. You want to stagger them.

This year?

I get that, I just think they do it in the wrong order

The Avs toiletry bag on the shelf is the best part of that photo!

Funny, I actually pointed that out to my wife last night. "See the bag? Look familiar?" :)

Are those rocket runners?

Yeah. Duchene is the only guy in the league still using them. Tavares was the other, but switched out last year.

To clarify, there will be a RBZ replacement but it won't be called a RBZ, but still has a TaylorMade reference.

That being said, I don't know anything about it. I guess I'll have to follow them on Instagram.

Always seemed silly to me for the CCM stuff to be called RocketBallz. Maybe somebody in marketing didn't realize hockey is played with a puck?

"Hey guys, our white drivers are called RocketBallz or RBZ for short... now let's make some white hockey sticks with that name too. I can only imagine how fast our new sticks will propel that hockey ball thinger towards the goal!"

I should have asked that back when TaylorMade offered me a job :P But I definitely did ask about a discount on CCM gear (which would have been really nice but wouldn't have made up the 40k pay cut I would have had to take).
