By the way, the LVS hockey sticks are very interesting! I wouldn't have left them behind at a rummage sale either!

From page 83 of Crack of the Bat.

Hillerich & Bradsby also moved in a big way into women's hockey, outfitting many college teams and the U.S. Olympic team and signing star Cammi Granato to an endorsement contract to swing a "Louisville Hockey" stick. The Canadian subsidiary, located in Wallaceburg, Ontario, produces about 500,000 "Louisville Hockey" sticks each year in 15 different models. These sticks are made for professional and amateur teams in Canada and the United States, as well as in Europe and Japan.

We produced Hockey Sticks since the 70's under the TPS brand. Stopped production and sales of Hockey sticks about 4 years ago.
