New From CCM: Resistance Hockey Helmet

ccm-resistanceBy Lisa Dutton…

Over the past few years, head injuries in sport have become a serious concern. Not only are we considering the initial impact it can cause, but we are learning more about the lasting effects of head trauma. This has players and parents taking equipment more seriously. And manufacturers are responding.

ccm-prodgallery-standardimage-htresistance-550x550_1Recently CCM Hockey launched its most innovative hockey helmet, the CCM Resistance. CCM partnered with neurotrauma experts at the University of Ottawa to study the stress and strain hockey hits can cause to the brain. They came up with something called the R.E.D. System (Rotational Energy Dampening System) and introduced something they call ‘impact pods’. The R.E.D. system is a series of liquid-filled bladders, the impact pods line the helmet’s shell. The combination offers rotational force management and linear protection.

ccm-easy_adjust-550x550While the cutting edge science behind the helmet is a little tough to put in layman’s terms, the simplicity of using it is not. The CCM Resistance offers a simple tool-free, single-step adjustment mechanism. This allows for a fast fit, and the ultimate in comfort.

CCM Resistence helmetRecently my husband busted out his skates in anticipation of helping out with my sons hockey team this season. And rules are rules; you can’t be on the ice without a helmet. When he tried on the Resistance he couldn’t believe come comfortable it felt. CCM has come a long way since 1985!

Watch for the new CCM Resistance at retailers worldwide (approx. $250). It can also be seen on the heads of several NHL stars this season; John Tavares, Patrice Bergeron and Nathan MacKinnon to name a few. Be safer on the ice with the CCM Resistance.
