Sher-Wood Hockey Inc. Returns As A Partner Of The CHL

May 20, 2010 - Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release


The Central Hockey League (CHL), in conjunction with Sher-Wood Hockey Inc., announced today that the two companies will extend their partnership for a sixth consecutive season keeping the Sherbrooke, Quebec based company as a part of the exclusive program to supply the CHL's teams and players with sticks, pants and gloves. The two companies originally partnered in the spring of 2004.

Sher-Wood Hockey Inc. specializes in the design and manufacturing of ice hockey sticks and protective equipment.

This gives the CHL selection from both companies for sticks, pants and gloves.

"They have always provided outstanding service to the league, our member teams and our players while providing quality equipment that allows our players to perform to their highest capabilities."
