TUUK ad, c. 1980

Thanks for the background info. (and the nostalgia). Looking at the images, all of the skates I wore from 1980 - 1986 were either CCM SuperTacks with Tuuks, or Bauer Supremes with ICM's

Do they still make ICM? Never see anyone with them these days but they were pretty popular in the 80's. I'm sure Mats Sundin still wears them on his CCM skates. What about Perfecta. They were the heaviest holders ever!

naslund has worn them a long time, but i dont know if he´s still using them. i´ve always worn tuuks, and since the most hockeystores in my region are runned by complete idiots it was not the easiest thing to get them mounted. i skatet in tacks a long time and they always came with slm holders, so i had a friend who wents to the okanagan hockey scool over summer a few years and i gave him money to bring me tacks with tuuk holders every summer for a period of 4-5 years, not easy when you live in an almost non-hockey country... oh yes it was in the mid 90´s so i guess internet has made things much easier :D

Found this old ad for sale on Ebay, great reminder of 1980's hockey frames.

I've got a pair of those Tuuks! Took them off my old Daousts. Jeez that was a few seasons ago....like 25. Maybe I'll take em to the shop and stick em on the 301's I saved for posterity.
