CCM is an acronym for Customer Communication Management. It's a long-term for a simple concept. In a nutshell, it's the process of making sure the messages you send to your customers are congruent, complete, and personalized.
Overall, CCM is a dominant force in the hockey equipment industry but is still second to Bauer.
Bauer is the clear winner in terms of total percentage, as you can see but one interesting trend in both brands is the shift towards a tighter, more anatomical fit at the professional level.

Since the 2000-01 season, the NHL has made a deal with a specific manufacturer to produce jerseys for all the teams. Until the 2005-06 season, this was with The Hockey Company. They put the Koho brand on the dark and third jerseys and the CCM brand on white jerseys.
The majority of people use Bauer more because of the cheaper prices. For skates, CCM can have a price range as low as youth skates costing $60 to adult skates that can cost up to $1,300. However for Bauer, the low youth skates can cost $45 to where the adult skates only cost up to $1,000.

TRUE Hockey and Lefevre Inc (aka Lefevre Goalie) officially acknowledged today they are joining forces, with the former acquiring the latter. Rumors of this union started shortly after Lefevre's design contract with CCM concluded at the end of 2019, and it's a match that makes strategic sense for both companies.
