this is no different than when they worked with CCM. All ccms pads would say designed by lefevre but they were made in Asia. The only Canadian Made CCM Lefevres were pro models.

[@trav4oilers]

Time will sadly tell if I am wrong or not

[@CaptainsCrease]

Just because it's made in Canada doesn't mean it's good. Vaughn's pro gear is still Canadian and my Vision set fell apart in a year. On the other hand, my custom pro Eflex 1 set lasted 4 years before I sold them and my Eflex 3 set is still going strong after 2 years. I was on the ice at least 3-4 times a week in all of my sets until the pandemic started last March.

[@artymowycz]

@@CaptainsCrease That's unfortunate to hear about the set. Vaughn does outsource some of their production to China too, and in general Chinese products are not the best quality. However the major point of the matter is about the economy. Keeping Canadian businesses in Canada to create Canadian jobs for a Canadian sport just makes more sense. Call me patriotic i don't mind.

[@johns1187]

That glove story is interesting. In 2001 Brian Heaton (Brian's/Heaton/TPS) told me how my Xhale pro gear was "game ready" and made lighter/thinner than standard gear, thus, needed to replace more frequently due to being less durable. I have a request for a video down the line and when COVID lockdowns stop: See if you can check out Kenesky Manufacturing Inc. in London, Ontario while you're over again to do some stuff with Steve Mc too many cooks in the Kitchen. Try out Kenesky's chest and arm. Lot's of pros like them. I see they make a sick set of vintage gear, but, wonder how it would really rank with stuff like your True gear.

[@seankelly8687]

Lefevre did pretty good through their previous joint ventures with RBK and CCM. RBK in itself is a way bigger company than True, and CCM has been around longer and probably is still bigger though that’s a guess on my part

[@trav4oilers]

AGREED

[@bfish9700]

I work with product managers in my job for pretty major companies. Its unfortunate that in general they don't take criticism, just want to hear how awesome their products are and how you can sell more of them. I guarantee you True bought Lefevre for branding and to sell at a high price point, they're going to sell gear at the same price point but reduce the production costs.

Nobody wants criticism these days and wanna be told how sweet they are

[@OneFoxTwoFox]

Such an awesome review video. Was kind of sad you didn't talk about the wrist mobility of the blocker. From my personal experience, I have yet to find a blocker of that quality with the same range of motion.

It doesn't really matter how a company fails, it matters how they recover. If a company isn't willing to listen and use constructive criticism, given from a person who KNOWS what the product needs (at ground level), then that is not a company that should last. If Trav did not take the advice and constructive criticism from all of his coaches, where would he be now? It's no different.

So tell us how you really feel? When companies take short cuts the product fails, and the names tarnished/trashed, hard to recover.
