"Mission will no longer exist..."

[Chadd 916]

FYI: they (Mission) ran an ad on TSN this evening.

Mission has really increased their visibility this year. I've seen more Mission ads in the last couple of months than I ever have before. I don't know if it's helping sales but I know it's hard to miss them.

Do you read Hockey News or the American Hockey magazine? You're not going to see them waste money advertising on TV down there.

[kovalchuk71 212]

ya i see them in american hockey, but i meant tv, and ya i guess you have a point, since there are more hockey players in the North

You guys are all wrong. P.Diddy is comming out with a new winter line of ice hockey equipment next year called, "Sean Paul Becard"

Who wants me to crush JR's Fun? JR why don't you tell everyone?

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Go ahead, crush it...

[kovalchuk71 212]

posted too late.....jr got there first before i could ask if hespeler was merging. useless post now

[PMurphy17 25]

It has nothing to do with Hespeler. Unless JR knows something that I don't.

[kovalchuk71 212]

ok someone spit it out already :) i wanna go to bed....... lol

ya its bed time sum tell me the "Big" news.....

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Reaper - what I think your rep is alluding to is that jobs will be merged. My Itech rep was let go in my region and my Mission rep inherited the Itech line. So maybe your rep is going to be let go...

Easton's teaming up with Prada to put out more useless, overpriced SH!T on the market

Ha, your definatley right with the Prada. Mr. Laporte can attest to that I`m sure.

That is propaganda, Fendi is in talks with Easton about merging, but nothing is finalized. Prada is merging with Hespler in a surprise deal, that is what JR is illuding to.

[PMurphy17 25]

Vapor - so close.

Can't comment yet since Gucci & Louis Vitton have stepped up and gotten in to the mix with Prada. As soon as it is finalized I'll spread the word.

I heard burberry was signing a deal with eagle to offer their signature plad design as a custom option on their gloves, but don't quote me.

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Yes, you got me. Anson Carter got pissed that Mission didn't make his Louis Vuitton gloves so now he's the new Hespeler poster-boy.

[Chadd 916]

All of the new models will be displayed on Bravo next week on "queer eye for the hockey guy."

Those Eagle H34 Burberry look sick, so is the price tag...

It wouldn't surprise me if the Itech rep took on the Mission line as well. It could be anything, seniority, success, WHY. I would assume that there will be some reps let go to avoid duplication.

So if JR doesn't tell us, when will the public find out?

[Justin 1933 134]

That was one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time...I guess I should ask Ryan if I could get a job at Easton...That way I won't have to move...lol

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Ah...try Graf too...but you'd have to move!

[Dave 1]

Oh nope, Graf would suck for him... I mean right now they only make skates and very few protectives. Justin is AFAIK not much into the skate sector, so he'd rather need an employer who makes a whole line of stuff which - as I said - Graf does not do at the moment.

[Chadd 916]

Hmm Graf goalie gear?

Sounds interesting.
