Lefevre is no longer with CCM, he's out on his own now
Link. While there will certainly be carryover from Lefevre design in the CCM lines for years to come, CCM equipment will no longer carry the Lefevre name.
Lefevre will have to pay the NHL if they want players using branded gear. An alternative is for players to wear unbranded gear. We have seen this most commonly in the past with spray painted sticks and at one point, there were goalies wearing unbranded Brian's gear.
