I have recently fell in love with the vic naslund curve but can't find any more of their blades. does any one know online stores that sell this blades or what similar patterns would be?

I have one lying around I'm dying to try out again. I recently stopped by a sports store and found a Vic pattern which seems to be exact. Sometimes it's difficult to tell though, especially since I didnt have them both in hand. It was the Vic Palffy. You could also look into getting it copied.

I'd just get custom blades done like Eazy said. Tell Legend you have a curve you want to send in to have blades made and they'll do it for you.

As a Nazzy fan, I know he's real picky about his sticks and he's changed them a few times over the past three seasons. Maybe a couple years back he was using Mission, but then one day in practice he launched the stick into the stands and that was the end of that.

He then started using a wooden Vic stick that he had painted black, so obviously no stick deal there (perhaps his Mission contract was still in place) so I'm surprised they actually went with a "Naslund" curve.

Now Nazzy is a Nike man and I have no idea what he's using. It's painted Nike, but rumours say it's not one of their sticks -- who knows.

This pattern was Circa 2000, before the Mission deal. The Nike stick he is using now is most likely a painted over Vic stick.

The wood stick is a Nike, painted Apollo colors.

Vic's a SMU brand nowadays. I doubt they have a factory anymore.

So who ownes the rights to the name Vic if they don't operate anymore? I can't keep track of all the mergers and acquisitions...

Years ago, Cooper bought by Bauer. Bauer bought by Nike.

CCM = Koho and Jofa and Heaton Goalie Gear which is now all owned by Reebok.

Itech and Mission merged.

Stand alones?

-Easton

- SherWood

- Hespeller

- Graf

My head hurts.

I think Vic is owned by the Forzani group now.

That Vic stick was probably also blacked out because Vic probably didn't pay the equipment fees as they were close to defunct as a business.

Nazzy used some Sher-Wood sticks in pre-season/beginning of the season before his Nike endorsement kicked into place when he got his Vapor 10's designed to look like V-12's, then used those Nike quest wood sticks before switching to the ones painted to look like the Apollo.

He didn't switch to the XX gloves until a few games after the ASG break.

Hespeler is owned by Huffy.

Exactly why it was blacked out, Nigel.
