Salming Hockey

Salming had a booth at a tourny this weekend I was at. They're looking to create interest among players so they can get players asking about Salming at their LHS, hoping to create some demand for the product.

After a quick run through the stuff they had looked pretty good. The pants and gloves were pretty impressive. They're also looking to make a splash in the stick market with a somewhat thin shafted ultra OPS as well as a traditional shaft shape OPS. If I recall correctly the ultra OPS will be available in Sakic and Modano clones and the traditional will be Lidstrom and Modano clones to start with a Sakic clone to be added later.

Almost forgot the skates. They seemed pretty light and were stock with T-Blades. Price range was going to be somewhere around $270.

The mods here may want to be on the lookout for a note from one of the Salming reps as I mentioned the catalog review section to him as a way to get more of the word out on their products.

Here's a link to the website if people are looking for more info. http://www.salmingsports.com/

Side note to the Salming rep: My team took our division but, as you probably know, we muckers and grinders never get MVP consideration. Bummer.

They only had the top of the line skates on display with the T-Blades.

I think I saw some old timers (Larry Robinson) using Salming sticks awhile back in an old-timers game. Was it the Edm-Montreal game from last year in the outdoors? I can't put my finger on it. But I know they had the Salming sticks, because there was a post on it here.

Is the company named after Borje Salming the Maple Leaf? Or am I spelling his name wrong?

One of the guys on my team is getting an ultra OPS for being MVP of our division. I'll let you folks know what he thinks after he's used it a few times.
