Bauer has unveiled new equipment for six NHL stars that it says represents “game-changing technology.”

The equipment manufacturer says its body suit and skates were designed to be so light that players could get to the puck almost a foot faster on a race from blue-line to blue-line, and new pads were made so goaltenders could get from the post to the top of the crease an inch faster.

If that is indeed the case, it could lead to more innovations in equipment from other manufacturers.
