The New CCM Jetspeed FT2 Hockey Skates
Coming April 26, 2019! The newest skate in the Jetspeed line has undergone some significant changes. Most notably, the CCM Jetspeed FT2 has an enhanced one-piece boot, SpeedBlade XS quick-release holder and SpeedBlade XS1 Black (+2mm) steel.
The LiteFrame 360 EVO is a significant upgrade from the previous generation FT1. The seamless one-piece boot contains no outsole, stitching or glue, which creates a high energy transfer zone essentially becoming a natural extension of the skaters foot.
The SpeedBlade XS holder was developed as a quick, easy-to-use system to swap blades out on the fly. The BladeLock technology consists of a positive-lock mechanism that improves on “spring-lock” systems. The holder prevents blades from loosening or accidentally disconnecting from the holder.
The SpeedBlade XS Black (+2mm) steel is a premium oxide blade that holds a longer edge with higher resistance to corrosion. The 12% additional height over standard blades allows for tighter turns and performance.
Sports Etc Performance-to-Value Rating: 10 out of 10. CCM now offers the only true one-piece boot on the market, and adds to it a high performance steel and a quick-release holder that allows players to change steel on the fly.

Get The Perfect Fit! The CCM 3D Hockey Skate Scanner
CCM Hockey jumps headlong into the 3D skate scanner market with the launch of the new CCM 3D Fit Scanner. The CCM 3D Fit Scanner combines elements of other popular skate scanners resulting in the most versatile scanner on the market. The CCM 3D Fit Scanner can be used 3 ways-
- Skate Recommender- The 3D scanner interface can be used to analyze any set of feet and recommend the ideal size and line of stock CCM skates. It even gives you the second best choice.
- 3D Custom Mold- The 3D scanner interface can be used to order a set of 3D custom molded skates. In this process, a 3D model of your foot is created and a Super Tacks AS1 is pressure molded to the model giving you a perfect fit right out of the box! This process takes about 8 business days and is the best option for a custom fitted skate.
- Total Custom Skates- The 3D scanner interface can be used to create a true custom skate. The process is the same as the 3D custom skate, but your options are greater. Among the options are a choice of Super Tacks AS1, Jet Speed FT1, Ribcor 70K, different sizes for left and right foot, different tongues and many more options. Total Custom Skates take 2-4 weeks for delivery.
The CCM 3D Fit Scanner will be at Sports Etc. Follow us on social media for updates on the CCM 3D Fit Scanner!

The Future of Skate Fitting: TRUE/VH Custom Hockey Skates
Holding a bachelor’s of Science Degree and Masters in Biomechanics from the University of Calgary, former Canadian National team speed skater Scott Van Horne (VH) is the brain behind the new TRUE Pro Custom hockey and goalie skate. The monocoque skate design creates a skate that fits like a second skin on your foot, with no wasted space within the boot. Everything about these skates is unique. From being the first, truly 100% custom built for YOUR feet skates to each pair being handcrafted in Canada. The custom True/VH Skates come in both player and goalie options:
PRO CUSTOM PLAYER SKATE – Junior/Senior:
- Patented TRUE MonoForm, monocoque design yields more direct power transfer and unmatched control while in stride or using your edges.
- Built from the inside out using a custom 3D foot last shaped to the individual skater’s foot, the thermoformed boot locks in the foot, eliminating loss of energy and producing unrivaled power, comfort, and control. A truly pain-free skating experience for anyone with foot issues.
- The patented TRUE tendon guard provides optimized flexibility and stability in every stride for a more direct and fluid power transfer.
- The strategically placed eyelets unlock an optimized knee-forward position, facilitating natural and more direct energy transfer and maximum power in every stride.
- The antimicrobial and hydrophobic liner wicks moisture to the venting holes to keep the feet dry and comfortable.
- Averaging 18 seconds per holder, BenchChange technology allows for fast blade replacement via TRUE’s magnetized blade change tool provided with each pair of skates.
- Made in Canada with only the finest raw materials, the best-in-class StepSteel blade carves through the ice with precision and power.
PRO CUSTOM GOALIE 2-PIECE SKATE – Senior
- Lightweight, Forward Pitch, Taller Attack Angle
- With greater clearance from the ice, achieve an optimized attack angle, deeper stance, and maintained edges before committing to a shooter.
- Formed with the monocoque shell, the patented TRUE ToeCap provides superior comfort and unrivaled protection.
- Strategically placed eyelets put goalies in the deepest attack position, facilitating natural and more direct energy transfer when moving laterally.
PRO CUSTOM GOALIE 1-PIECE SKATE – Senior
- Zero Energy Loss, Neutral Pitch, Lower Attack Angle
- Strategically placed eyelets put goalies in the deepest attack position, facilitating natural and more direct energy transfer when moving laterally.
- Formed with the monocoque shell, the patented TRUE ToeCap provides superior comfort and unrivaled protection.
- One piece molded design leads to zero loss of energy and responsive power transfer allowing goalies to get across the crease faster. The lower profile also assists with maintaining edges before committing to the shooter.
- Without a traditional cowling the boot allows for a lower position to the ice for heightened feel, maximum control, and improved attack angle.

Finding the Proper Fit: Hockey Skates
Finding the right pair of hockey skates can be confusing with so many makes, models and changes to the hockey industry over the years. To simplify things, it is easier to break down skate fit into 3 categories: Tapered/Narrow, Contoured/Mid, and Traditional/Wide. Let’s take a closer look at what we mean and how it relates to the two major skate manufacturers; CCM and Bauer:
1.) Tapered/Narrow Fitting Skates
The tapered style skates generally have a narrower and shallower profile than other models, which allows for a nice, snug fit around the foot for optimum performance. This is the most popular fit within the hockey community and generally caters to an individual with an average foot, but is definitely not right for everyone, especially those with fuller feet. The tapered fit are products of the Bauer Vapor line, and the CCM Jetspeed line- our two best selling models.
2.) Contoured/Mid-Cut Skates
The contoured/mid-cut skates are perfect for someone with average to slightly full cut feet. It runs wider than the tapered line of skates, but still has a firm heel lock to provide a secure fit. This style of fit tends to be our second most popular seller, and offers a perfect blend between a narrow and wide cut skate. Examples of this skate would be the Bauer Supreme series and the CCM Tacks line.
3.) Traditional/Wide Fitting Skates
The traditional or wide cut skates are the fullest cut of any skate models on the market today. The more flexible boot and deeper heel allows for a relaxed and comfortable fit for those with wider feet. If you tend to have a narrow foot, this may not be the best option because the extra space within the skate may cause discomfort or hurt your overall performance. This style of fit is similar to that of a EE width, and has really replaced the need to seek out a different skate in a EE wide. The Bauer Nexus series, and the CCM Ribcor line offer this fit.
If you are able to narrow your search down to these three fit styles, selecting the perfect skate becomes much more manageable. With that said, the BEST way to ensure a proper fit is to come see the experts at Sports Etc!
