CCM is to Canada, what Schwinn was to USA. Neither made any dent at all in the other country.
Import duties were a big thing till the 90s. Raleigh was supposedly the big name in Canada for better bikes, yet the cheaper simpler ways were sometimes better. CCM is still the kings of hockey stuff.
Looks like you had already outgrown that bike. I never did outgrow my Uncle's 23 1/2 " frame. LOL. My glorious ride when I was I guess 20, was going about 50 miles between lunch and supper on that too big SS. Ate an O'Henry bar and coke in the turnaround town. I had a pint paint can strapped to the TT to hold a spare tube and tire pryers. It rusted of course.
