GAMETAGS www.gametags.ca
Left the arena with only one shin pad? Can’t find one of your elbow pads? Found an extra glove in your hockey bag? No problem, GameTags has a solution. GameTags was inspired by two hockey moms, who were frustrated with losing their children’s hockey gear because it was getting left behind in arenas and locker rooms. GameTags are sport equipment labels designed to identify your gear. You can write on and stick the labels to just about any material equipment manufacturers toss at you. They are made with a woven satin fabric and a special adhesive which features Cold Stick Technology that becomes more aggressive as moisture builds, and can handle extreme temperatures. Gametags’ unique free web-based Lost and Found system helps track your lost items and assists you with their return, allowing parents to have peace of mind knowing that you can recover lost equipment.
BASE HOCKEY www.mybasehockey.com
Wouldn’t it be great to have a former NHLer analyze your shot, recommend the right stick specs and get a NHL-calibre stick custom built to your spec? As a veteran of 19 NHL seasons, Cliff Ronning experienced the shooting expertise and stick customization provided to NHLers. Cliff recently launched BASE Hockey to bring this PRO experience to amateur hockey players of all ages. At BASE’s state-of-the-art fitting centre in Burnaby, B.C., players receive a one-hour shooting analysis that includes high-speed video analysis, shooting instruction and a chance to test-drive their recommended stick on BASE’s synthetic ice rink. BASE’s manufacturing team has built sticks for over 400 NHLers. Your custom stick is built at BASE’s 10,000 square-foot factory with the same materials and designs that BASE uses in the NHL. BASE sticks are only sold factory-direct to you (providing you maximum value). For further information, call (604) 421-2273 or visit the website.
