CCM is a Canadian company that originally built bicycles, but in 1905 began building hockey skates followed by other hockey equipment as well. In more recent years CCM acquired other hockey equipment companies such as KOHO and JOFA. In 2004 CCM was acquired by Rebok who also kept the KOHO and JOFA names as well. The CCM and KOHO logos are still used on Rebok hockey equipment for tradition's sake, as they are known brands. On a side note Adidas purchased Rebok in 2006, so future versions of the skates could be multi-branded.
Some of the lightest hockey skates include the Bauer Vapors and the Bauer Nexus 7000s. These skates weigh just over 400 grams in most cases.
Nike Bauer Vapor

There isn't a simple answer to what brand is best for an adult novice hockey player. The main reason it isn't simple, is that skates have to offer excellent fit, and not everyone has the same shape feet. So the simplest answer is going to be the brand that fits a particular skater's feet best is the best choice . . . which isn't much of an answer. The best bet is to try on the major brand skates to figure out which one fits best. Bauer, CCM, Graf and RBK make the best skates on the market right now. Easton and Mission and Nike offer good skates as well. Outside of those brands, you're likely to find a lot of subpar quality skates. Make sure you're spending over $100 or you'll be buying recreational skates that look like hockey skates. The difference will be obvious the first time a slapshot hits your foot. (Broken feet suck). Within the brands there are often sub-models that fit differently as well. Bauer has the Vapor line and the Supreme line. The Supreme line fits a little wider and is more durable. CCM and RBK currently only offer one hockey line each which both fit the same, average width foot (RBK owns CCM). Graf has five or six different fitting skates The last part of Graf's model numbers indicate the shape of the boot. Easton's skates offer a moderate width fit, Mission skates are best for narrow feet and heels while Nike's have an average heel with a wide forefoot.
How good they are will depend on your skill level and exactly what you are looking for. Some people may say they are great; others may not.
Most players are sponsored and wear the brands they represent. But big name skates in the NHL are the Rbk 9k pump skates. Nike Bauer Ones are popular. and mission is still big in skates
Sidney Crosby in 2011 wears Reebok 11k skates and has a Reebok 11k Sickick 3 hockey stick
i think he uses RBK zigtech
it is identical to the original rbk 9k hoackey stick but miniature
It's you opinion... (^_^) I go with the RBK 3K
