My new skates. Worn just once, but about to get a lot more work.

Vancouver Canucks (13-5-1) at

8 PM | Denver, Colorado | Ball Arena

It’s a huge night in Denver as the Avalanche and Canucks square off in a highly anticipated game between two great teams and the league’s two best defensemen this season.

It’s also a huge night for Bauer.

Bauer? Yes, Bauer. The hockey company.

I recently found the site GearGeek.com and, as a hockey nerd, this was yet another rabbit hole waiting to happen for me. I love finding new sites that pertain to hockey, its history, random stats/facts or, in this case, player equipment choices.

The hype of tonight’s Quinn Hughes-Cale Makar match-up is real and warranted. Both are having tremendous seasons thus far. But imagine being the head of sales for Bauer and watching both of these elite players going head-to-head in your equipment from head to toe. Dollar signs.

Gear Geek does something I never would have thought of (and my brain usually works in really weird and dumb ways): they list statistical category winners by their brand of equipment. And not just the brand, but the model of each piece.
