Hockey equipment company Bauer stepping up to help health officials fighting COVID-19

One of the top hockey equipment manufacturers is ready to do its part to assist health care workers working tirelessly to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Bauer, makers of sticks, skates and all other sorts of equipment used by professionals to minor hockey tykes, recently contacted the Quebec government and offered plans to mass produce visors that health care officials can use to better protect themselves while treating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are awaiting their authorization and will be ready to launch our production as soon as we have received the green light,” Bauer’s vice president of product innovation, Dan Bourgeois, told Francois Gagnon of RDS on Tuesday.
