CCM Hockey Helmets
Since hockey players started wearing helmets, there has been one hockey equipment brand that has manufactured a hockey helmet that has stood the test of time. While many hockey helmet styles have come and gone over the last twenty to thirty years, CCM hockey helmets were the first to sport a style that is now often imitated by many other hockey equipment brands.
If you have been interested in playing or watching hockey for a long time, you probably remember the old school helmets like the Jofa hockey helmet that Wayne Gretzky wore, or the Winwell helmet that Mark Messier wore. However, these old styles of hockey helmets have faded into obscurity because they could not compete with CCM hockey helmets. The CCM ice hockey helmet has a classic look that hasn’t changed much in the last twenty years. Nowadays, however CCM helmets have some competition in terms of helmet popularity, but it is obvious that the new helmets that are gaining popularity are based off of the classic CCM hockey helmet design that has been around for so long. Brands like Nike/Bauer, RBK and even Easton have hockey helmets that are very comparable to the CCM style.
When I look at hockey helmets today, I have to say that I really do prefer the CCM helmet because it has that classic look. Although all hockey helmets have changed drastically in terms of protection for preventing injuries, the look of CCM hockey helmets have hardly changed at all. They have been engineered to prevent concussions and to protect hockey players heads more than ever before, and while you might think that it would make the CCM ice hockey helmets bulkier and somewhat more “goofy” looking, this is definitely not the case.
Obviously the most important thing when it comes to ice hockey helmets is that they provide sufficient protection in the high speed, contact sport of hockey. Concussions can definitely be prevented with the use of a quality hockey helmet, and CCM hockey helmets have evolved into good looking helmets, which they always have been, that can prevent injuries because of the quality of padding and craftsmanship that goes into the manufacturing of these classic hockey helmets.
The CCM hockey helmet is great for adults and children alike, as they make many different models of helmets to fit a particular size of head. It is important to make sure that if your child is using a face mask or cage that fits their face well. CCM hockey helmets are pretty much universal when it comes to face mask and half shield compatibility, but you will probably want to do some research online or at your local hockey shop to make sure that your preferred face mask or half shield will fit on your CCM hockey helmet.
