Design: Manufacturer: , Aurora ON Date:  This simple skate guard is an example of the humble nature that Canadian design occupies, quietly working in the background with little fanfare. This was designed by a couple of hockey referees who felt that “there had to be a better skate guard than the old leather strap, terry cloth and plastic ones”. Their product used layers of high tech, cut proof materials and water absorbing cloth to create a simple and effective guard that has remained in production for the past two decades. A staple of the Canadian hockey player.
