Another how its made. Hockey pucks.

It actually takes quite a bit to make a hockey puck!

That was pretty interesting! More involved than I expected. Thanks for the share.

That was really interesting. The one on how to make gloves (same user) is unbelievable. Those ladies really work hard to get them right.

Thanks for the thread.

Great series - love the one on goalie pads. It saved me from almost making a huge mistake when I was repairing mine!

I was surprised how much hand stitching goes into those gloves.

I thought a lot more of the process was automated than it is. Skates and gloves too. Lots of hands on/manual work. Makes me appreciate the final product (and the price tag) a little more

Quitre informative indeed.

Kinda reminded me of the story of a puck manufacturer in Quebec who had to lay off half their staff during the NHL lockout/strike.

Eagle is probably one of the few companies that still makes gloves hand made. That video was very interesting though. I now understand why they take so long to make.

All mostly hand made... not just Eagle.

I couldn't find the skates one on youtube, so I have posted it on there:

back to the pucks , i am told that here in canada we use recycled rubber where as in europe they use brand new rubber making canadian pucks bounce higher/more

Thanks for the skate episode, precursor - very informative.

I can only imagine how hard it would be to manually make an entire pair...

Thank you! I had been looking for this.

I saw the pucks and gloves, but never skates. :D

I hadn't seen the skate video either...that was pretty sweet!

Was that a Supreme 6500 they were makin? If so, I'd never heard of those before. Were they a little more rare?

Supreme 6500 were an SMU...I thought I saw them making Bauer 7000s and Classic Golds, but I could be wrong.
