TheGoalNet Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 While looking up some details on Cooperalls for @bunnyman666 , I found this gem. Not that we need two history topics launched in the same day, but I didn't want to lose this. http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/canstar-sports-inc-history/ Feel free to take this thread in any direction.

MTH Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Best part is that inline skating killed Nike/Bauer. Quote Boivin predicted that Canstar's sales would top $400 million and Bauer's share of the in-line market would increase from about 7 percent to 32 percent by the end of the 1990s. Living through that time - inline skating was so popular. More than Bitcoin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 RHI was sick. I loved going to Long Island Jawz games at the Nassau Coliseum. I still can't believe inline hockey never made it into the summer Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman30 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I remember when Colin Forrester( Forrester Goalie gear) was hired by Nike/Bauer. He was doing repairs and making gear out of home after his company closed up and then Nike/Bauer hired him as there goalie department head. He came up with the Vapor and the One95 goalie line, after that everything somewhat shift to JRZ and I don't know how mauch long after Colin left . Colin was great guy, he lived in the same town I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
