Anyone remember Jayco Hockey or Cupollos?

I was looking through some old issues of The Hockey News from 1988/1989 and they were a couple of full page ads for Jayco Hockey.  They offered all protective equipment and were based in Niagara Falls, Ontario.    Coincidentally the only shop that I’ve ever seen selling Jayco was Cupollo Sports also based in Niagara Falls.  They regularly advertised in THN.  I was in there shop about 20 years ago and when I went back about 5 years ago it was all boarded up.

Anyone any knowledge of Jayco or Cupollos?

Regularly went to cupollos from Buffalo to buy skates every year growing up  in the 70s. Nice store

Cupollos always had some super sketchy Ski and Snowboard rentals where everyone local asked how they stayed open and made any more. They'd have the lowest prices and often never requested the gear back afterwards.

Lots of people around ehre had interesting Jayco pads and I still see the pants from time to time. Some of the pads had lightning on them and I was always jealous as a kid.

Bought a couple pairs of CCM Tacks pro stock skates from them way back. I believe they closed sometime around 2014 when the owner retired due to age/health issues.
