#3 - CCM JETSPEED FT4 PRO (21-22 Season)

The CCM FT4 PRO hockey skates are a highly versatile skate model from CCM hockey that are designed to help players bring their game to the next level. These high-performance skates feature a synthetic material for the boots that provides excellent support and a comfortable fit, as well as lightweight blade holder and runner materials to help you achieve your best on-ice speed.

One of the standout features of the FT4 PRO skates is the three fits offered, which allows players to achieve the best possible fit for their foot without going with total custom skates. The skates also come with a replaceable tongue system, which is great for players who want to switch out the original 7mm tongue for a thicker or thinner one.

In addition, the FT4 PRO skates have heat moldable technology that allows players to customize the fit of the boots for a more comfortable and secure feel. The boots also have a moisture-wicking liner to help keep feet dry and comfortable throughout the game.

On the ice, these skates offer the perfect stiffness to maximize agility and power, and they come equipped with STEP steel runners, which are known for their excellent combination of glide and stiffness for maximum speed.

Overall, the CCM FT4 PRO hockey skates are a top-quality choice for players looking to improve their game. They offer a combination of comfort, support, and speed that is hard to beat.

#2 - BAUER SUPREME MACH (22-23 Season)

The Bauer Supreme Mach hockey skates are a top-of-the-line option for players looking for excellent performance and comfort on the ice. They are designed with several features that make them stand out from other options on the market.

To start with, they feature a 3D lasted Curv composite quarter package, which provides a snug, comfortable fit and excellent support, while also allowing for a natural range of motion. The Hydra Max 2 liner helps to wick away moisture and keep feet dry and comfortable during gameplay, and the outsole is built with an enveloping heel section to maximize support and power on turns.

The TUUK Lightspeed Edge holder allows for quick and easy blade changes, and the "choose your runner" option lets players customize their glide on the ice with the choice between three different runners. The skates also have two flex notches on the facings and a very incline yet flexible tendon guard to improve the skating stride.

In terms of comfort and fit, the Mach skates have improved upon their predecessor, the Ultra Sonic, with cushier ankle pads, a better-feeling liner, a thinner and lighter tongue, and a wider fit at the forefoot. These skates are extremely comfortable.

Overall, the Bauer Supreme Mach hockey skates are a top choice for players looking for a high-performance skate with a comfortable, supportive fit.

#1 - BAUER VAPOR HYPERLITE (21-22 Season)

As an avid ice hockey player, I have always been on the lookout for skates that can give me an edge on the ice. When the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite skates came out, I knew I had to give them a try. From the moment I put them on, I could tell that these skates were something special. The low-profile design and narrow fit gave me a natural feel, and I noticed a big improvement in my agility and acceleration. The combination of lightweight materials used in the boot match with the carbon composite runner, also helped to reduce the overall weight of the skate, which made it easier for me to move around the ice.

In terms of performance, the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite skates really impressed me. They had a great level of energy transfer, which helped me to generate more power in my stride. The new softer outsole in the heel section of the skates made a big difference, as it compressed just enough to give me a better attack angle for turning and it also dampened the vibrations coming from the ice. I also found that the skates provided good support and stability, especially when I was making sharp turns or changes in direction.

As for comfort, the Vapor Hyperlite skates were very comfortable in the ankle, heel, and forefoot areas. The asymmetrical quarters helped to align my ankle bones on decent padding. The only issue I had with the skates was the tongue. While the stiffness was fine, the edges hurt my ankles. I ended up changing it, and after that modification, the skates were absolutely perfect.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite skates to any ice hockey player looking for a lightweight and responsive skate. They have made a big difference in my game, and I'm confident that they could do the same for you.
