The skates can also be custom fit using CCM's exclusive F-I-T- System machine.

Officially launched to the retail market in 2002, the Externo skate is CCM's latest commitment to taking hockey equipment technology to the next level of play. Those hockey players who crave action, speed, thrills and the high-performance gear that will allow them to play their best need to look no further than CCM and its new Externo skate line.
