CCM makes hockey skates.  (IOW, what's a "CCM"?)

Critical Mass! The extra 'C' is for Chicago.  (I should have just written Critical Mass)

They claim that it is more organized: "newer, safer, more traffic-friendly — and happier — last-Friday-of-every-month Baltimore Bike Party". But, also still the same: "Bike Party, by contrast, is gentle, ’60s-style protest/celebration. It’s theater, activism, bicycling, and social gathering all at once.".. "The monthly route gets shared with police, who occasionally help block traffic, but otherwise, it’s all very informal."

Sounds like CCM still. 

They did mention running a kickstarter to build a sound system for their rides....

Looks like nothing more than a rebranding.

Considering the only CCM ride I attend is the halloween one, this sounds like a blast.
What can I say? I like an excuse to dress up...
