InGoal had Carey Price mic’d up at the Eli Wilson Goaltending #DayWithPrice camp this summer. We’ve found over the years that his casual interactions with the young students are some of the highlights of the day. Open and honest, Price is relaxed and as happy to share his knowledge as he is to joke around and share some light-hearted moments.

In a brief chat we captured on video, Price answers a common question he has received over the years many times, “how do you break in a glove?”.

We’ve since seen examples of the power of Bauer’s Digi-Print technology on NHL goaltenders like Henrik Lundqvist with his stylish New York Rangers design, Linus Ullmark’s Buffalo Sabres pads, a personalized pattern for Devan Dubnyk, retro sets for Frederik Andersen and Mike McKenna, and perhaps even more creatively and boldly on younger goalies in major junior and at the World Junior Championships, including Vancouver Canucks prospect Michael DiPietro.

Now it’s here for you and me and anyone else who wants to show off some style: Bauer True Design, a chance to create seemingly unlimited custom graphics on your pads and gloves.

The biggest change in the new CCM Extreme Flex 4 glove isn’t easy to spot. You will notice it as soon as you try to close it, however.

CCM re-aligned the pocket angle of their stock 600-break in the E-Flex 4 line, creating a more natural extension of the break in the palm, and making it easier to close the deeper double-T pocket that became the stock option on the Extreme Flex 3 line two years ago. Where the break was more in line with the top T in the previous model, it runs right between the double-T in the E-Flex 4, creating a better open-and-close “snap” in this glove right out of the box.

Learn about the new 600, and all the CCM breaks.
