    Unique Louisville Slugger Lumber / Any input - history?

    Picked up these three hockey sticks at a garage sale today. Anyone know when Louisville Slugger was producing hockey stick "Made in Canada"?

    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.
    Wanted: Minnesota Twins throwback or special event jerseys.

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