CCM Center Ice Practice Jerseys

[RadioGaGa 162]

I've been looking for a Habs White Practice jersey off and on for years now. I see Blue/Black in stores every now and then, and most online stores only stock Blue/Black & Red.

I had one local shop order one for me, but it never did come in and the store ended up closing.

If you go to CCM's site, under jerseys to Practice Jerseys...there is a "How to Buy". But when you ckick it all you get is a dealer search.

Anyone know of a good place to order them from?

Or, are they even making them under the CCM label now that RBK is doing NHL jerseys?

I would contact their team store. They'd probably know best.

I've seen the catalogue...and it never has Whites in the listing of available colors. Maybe I will look into that though.

Perhaps I can shed some light on the Centre Ice NHL practice jerseys.

In my dealings with the Calgary Flames I was told that the NHL no longer allows the direct sale of official practice jerseys to the general public.

If you know someone with the team then you may be able to backdoor one but since the NHL has used Meigray to sell their pro used jerseys almost all of them are closely accounted for.

The replica versions are still available but they are vastly different than the real deal.

There is a new jersey for practice. It has striping on them. Pretty sharp...and they're only in replica version.

I know I've seen Auth. JOFA Practice jerseys on Ebay that have the Tie down and the size in a big Black box on the bottom of the hem...but I I'm looking for is the replicas. I see Leafs ones like crazy around here. Got my GF a Yellow one a few eyars ago. Habs ones are just so hard to find.

JR, are the new ones RBK branded???

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Yes, the new ones are RBK branded.

I'm pretty sure they are not available, and won't be for a while...

check out the local sports authorities if you have those around. Mine had the replica practice jerseys on a clearance rack about 2 weeks ago. They didn't have any candians sweaters though, otherwise i would pick it up for you

Off the subject, but why are the Canadiens called the Habs? Were they originally sponsored by a hatmaker or something?

[mik3 1]

des habitants du Canada

[Drewhunz 3]

Me no speaky French. Does that mean the people(inhabitants) of Montreal?

[mik3 1]

yeah, habs became their nickname at some point since it's a shortened version of that.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Oui,

Although I've never had the "CH" logo definately defined....I've heard:

Club de Hockey au Montreal

Sounds good to me...

[Drewhunz 3]

Thanks for the French lesson. If you need any Spanish lessons, let me know.

[Dan_The_Man_16 0]

It stands for what RadioGaGa said; HOWEVER people used to call them the Habitants du Canada, because they were from Canada, hence Habs.

I just scored a pro blue Maple Leafs practice size 56. Friend of mine has a contact in the Leafs organization.

Here in Vancouver, the only place that I have ever been to that has the Practice Jerseys for sale is at the annual Canucks Equipment sale and they are used and retail for around $150.00-200.00.
