TRUE Sports, a leading developer and manufacturer of hockey, golf, baseball and lacrosse products, has announced the acquisition of QC-based goalie equipment manufacturer, Lefevre Inc. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, the acquisition will add exciting, innovative technology to the company’s advanced R&D portfolio, as well as expand TRUE Hockey’s reach into the goalie equipment market segment. “Working with Lefevre is something our entire team is looking forward to,” Chris Considine, President & CEO of TRUE Sports said. “At TRUE Sports, our commitment to improving the player experience has never wavered, and we knew from our first meeting with Lefevre that this was the right move to make. This next chapter will help us continue to be the fastest growing hockey brand in the world, and it will generate additional partnerships with distributors, professional players, and influencers.” As part of the agreement, TRUE Sports will continue to manufacture Lefevre goalie equipment in Canada. All Lefevre employees will be retained and will be moving forward with the business. “We are thrilled to be starting this endeavor with TRUE Hockey,” Michel Lefevre, President of Lefevre said. “It was important to us that we continued with a company that’s as eager to improve the player experience as we are. It was vital to us that our team be able to retain their current positions, while aligning with one of – if not the most – innovative hockey brand to date. It’s been a natural progression from the start and we’re eager to see what the future holds!” Both TRUE Hockey and Lefevre currently distribute their hockey product lines globally and are used by elite level hockey players around the world, including a wealth of NHL goaltenders. https://www.true-hockey.com/true-sports-acquires-iconic-goalie-company-lefevre-inc/?doing_wp_cron=1602268237.4540030956268310546875 Thought I would create a new thread. LeFevre was independent for a couple of months. Both companies are headquartered in Montreal so that's a plus for them. I wonder if their gear will be branded as TRUE or Lefevre. I'm guessing they will want the TRUE name and maybe have a small patch or print that says "Designed by LeFevre". It creates a stronger brand recognition. Now a goalie can have TRUE goalie skates, goalie stick and goalie equipment.

Big news here: Shattenkirk to Anahiem! That actually seems like a really good contract for the Ducks

Correct - because he didn't have both edges under him. I would advise against varying thicknesses between towers. It will twist the steel. Keep it uniform.
