Bauer

Bauer is a leader of hockey ice skates as well as hockey inline skates. It can be said that after acquisition of Mission brand back in 2008, the only contender left to steal this title from Bauer is CCM company. The cake is clearly split between these two.

Bauer offers best hockey skates made with most advanced technologies used not only in this sport, but also in inline skates in general. Their technology is so ahead that only in recent years the gap has started to shrink, thanks to advancements in freestyle, speed and aggressive skates.

What makes Bauer skates so unique is that they are effectively faithful to their ice equivalents, only coming with wheels, not blades. Thus, if you really enjoy a particular ice skate model from the Brand’s catalogue, it is easy enough to find inline skate equivalent. Both lines use the same tech and the boots which help to win most high-level matches in the sport are available for off-ice play too. Of course, just like in case of ice skates, the brand provides a more budget oriented options for amateur play, too!
