Appreciate the feedback! That makes sense. Any idea if the same rule applies to the Covert 20 vs Covert QRE?
Yes, the same applies to the Covert line. The ECHL has a lower budget than the AHL and NHL, so they rely on gloves lasting longer. When CCM was the ECHL's sponsor, their HG12, HG97, and other gloves had kevlar overlays on the palms to help durability.
