What comes to your mind when you think of buying hockey equipment? It has to be CCM of course. CCM incidentally stands for Canada Cycle & Motor Co. It is a brand that relates to sporting goods. The CCM trademark is currently owned by two separate entities. The first entity is the Ice Hockey Company which is now a subsidiary of Reebok. It primarily deals with the manufacture of equipment and accessories for ice hockey. The second entity, CCM, deals with bicycles manufacturing. The origins of CCM can be tracked back to 1899. That was the time when the bicycle market was in a state of collapse. This resulted in the foundation of CCM by amalgamating the operations of 4 major bicycle companies. The companies that were involved in the amalgamation were Goold, Massey-Harris, Welland Vale Manufacturing and H. A. Lozier.

Around the 1900s, the company started diversifying into the manufacture of hockey equipment as a result of saturation in the bicycle market. One of its products was hockey skates. It also successfully acquired other brands and companies such as Tackaberry (Tacks), Koho and Jofa. It then became The Hockey Company. 2004 was a landmark year for the company when CCM was bought by Reebok. Reebok is a subsidiary of Adidas.

CCM manufactures several hockey products that are quite popular and well accepted by the sporting community. These include among others CCM vector goalie pads, CCM hockey skates, CCM vector hockey stick, CCM skate, CCM hockey jerseys, CCM hockey gloves and CCM roller hockey. Together, they all come under the umbrella of CCM hockey equipment. Their top products in CCM skates include Vector U+ Pro, V08, V06, V04, V03, CCM 02 and plus goalie skates. Similarly, its line of sticks comprises of Vector U+ CL, Vector U+, V10 Catapult, V08 Ultimate, V06 Radioactive, V04 Glassfiber, V02 Multilam, V01 Molded, 252 Heat, GW Graphite, FW Glassfiber, AW Aircraft Core and Octogun. The Vector U+ CL is considered to be the lightest stick ever made.

Its VO6, VO4, 4-Roll Pro, 4-Roll, Vector Pro, Vector 10.0 and GR8-5 make up its product line in the gloves segment. CCM is also into the manufacture of associated hockey equipment such as helmets, elbow pads, hockey pants, shoulder pads and knee pads.

This photo was taken in Haute Savoie (France), in the small resort 'Brasses'. Winter sports are far since the summer sun is just beginning to show his nose. Winter in the mountains is really a good season, snowboarding and skiing are waiting for you! While summer is great, but even if the winter is cold, is not bad either!
