Eagle - "Oldest glove company in hockey?"

[Fletch 219]

Check this out -

"A little known fact is that Eagle are actually the oldest glove company in hockey. Over the years they have made gloves for almost every other company in the industry under the "Forte" name. It is because of their expertise that they are one of the only companies that will still make single order player gloves with custom specifications."

Any truth to this?

I think that girl is a little obsessed and has way too much time on her hands

[Stampeder 2]

Yeah, she's a bit more than obsessed. I've never even heard of that guy.

she probably has a thing for the guy, plus, if you had that kind of access to some hot actress (Jessica Alba comes to mind), wouldn't you be kinda like that too?

Wasn't it a guy from KOHO or Vaugn or something who started eagle back in the mid 90's?

That's a girl? :o

Isn't Eagle Canadian? Why would an Italian girl know so much?

I don't know how long them've been going, but the Forte bit is true, and they have made gloves for just about everyone at one time or another.

It says it right in the post. They made gloves for many companys under the name Forte. They have done that for years.

Yeah, but years as in "oldest glove company in hockey?" Older than Bauer/Canstar? Or CCM?

Vez's gloves are Eagle Pro-Glo X-80s. He has a couple of pairs made custom made each season back in Canada.

Thats from the site.

She is a little obsessed maybe?

[A_Steeves12 0]

I bet if you asked her she could tell you every piece of gear that guy uses.

[Miike 1]

She probably even knows when he bought it and where and for what price. Every single detail she knows. I correct myself.

Shes a little to OBSESSED

[NuggyBuggy 0]

That is both one of the funniest and saddest things I have ever seen.

However, according to the Cardiff Devils' website, that IS the "official" Vezio Sacratini website. But if so, I can't understand why the poor girl would have to actually buy most of the stuff herself.

But she's doing a good job, I had never heard of this guy before, but I now know more about him than I ought to, and I doubt I'll forget his name for a while...

I dont know. To be honest, i could really care less.

I was kidding, hence the smilies.

[hockechamp14 0]

It sounds like she was his billet host for this Vez guy when he first stayed in england or something in her bio. At least that explains how she knows him. As for how obsessed she is, OCD? :P

[Justin 1933 134]

That is funny...

and just to clarify....Mission was the first to use the Pro-Glo Material...Original Bilt-Rite Works gloves were available in Pro Glo....A few years before Eagle made it really popular....

[Miike 1]

Eagle is the best glove company i think. Im using x90's FCR version. Love them.

[Miike 1]
