Reebok protective is often still branded as Jofa in the pros.

No. The very 1st move Reebok made was to drop Jofa and Koho. They branded the best items of the two as rbk. They took almost all new CCM products and put rbk logo on them (helmets, for instance).That is how rbk got on top. Now rbk is re branded as Reebok.

what did happen to brands like Northland and Victoriaville, Ferland?
did they get bought out, or collapsed in the 80s?
Air Virtuoso.
I would kill for a pair of Ferland "mitten" gloves. Except for the thumb, they put the other 4 fingers together. While it sounds like a strange design, they were both insanely comfortable and stickhandling was amazing.
Ferland gloves were bulletproof. Unfortunately I gave them away when I switched to Bourque model Sherwoods. Even though the outer construction for excellent, the palms of the Sherwoods would burn out very easily, and I must of had them re-palmed 3 times.
I know Hal Gill still uses a set of Jofa shoulder pads, but I think it's just another example of a player having old gear that's they're not willing to give up because there's nothing out there right now that's comparable.
I read somewhere on thegoaliestore message boards that Reebok is bringing back the Koho name (I couldn't find the thread) and that Hiller actually wears a new Koho line of pads.
Is Brown goalie equipment still around? What about Lefabve(sp), the simmons line of goalie pads that started with a B, or Bilt Rite gloves?
Branches sticks ftw, my first stick circa 1995 had a rad kevlar blade
How about ROOS skates - were made in Kitchener i believe - all black with black tuck 2000 blades...had a pair 30yrs ago...a few NHLers wore them...only one that comes to mind is Carl Brewer for the Leafs - what about Kenesky goalie pads - were the pad of choice in the 60s, 70s - old man Kenesky would make your custom pads up stairs above the store in Hamilton - store is still there but don't think they make their own pads any more
Brian's still exists, live and well.
I still remember the days when Olie used Heaton pads, and I know Heaton's gone....
