CCM JOINS BATTLE AGAINST VIRUS

CCM Hockey is skating into the fray in the fight against the COVID -19 pandemic. The hockey equipment manufacturing company announced on Wednesday it will donate 500,000 surgical masks to health-care workers on the front lines. “Sourcing greatly needed equipment through our established supply chain partners in Asia is the most efficient way for us to support and keep our real heroes safe,” CEO of CCM Hockey Rick

Bradshaw said in a news release. Based in Montreal, CCM Hockey is in the process of getting protective equipment from its business partners that normally have a hand in the production of hockey equipment. CCM will arrange for transport of the masks and is in discussions with government authorities to ensure the masks are distributed to health-care workers in Canada as early as the week of April 27.
