The goalie equipment manufacturer had been approached by Windsor-Essex County medical officials on Tuesday for their surplus of double-sided tape and foam -- key elements of medical face shields -- but were then asked what their production capabilities were for medical gowns.
Before Aitken's team could return to the Kingsville, Ont., plant, some logistics had to be worked out. Brian's had no pattern for the 18,000 medical gowns they had committed to making, so one was brought from a local hospital and was carefully taken apart to reverse-engineer a template. Brian's normally produces equipment for NHL goalies including Thatcher Demko of the Vancouver Canucks, Robin Lehner of the Vegas Golden Knights, and Jaroslav Halak of the Boston Bruins.
"It just shows that everybody's in it together," said Aitken of Ullmark's endorsement. "It's nice to see kind of a hockey community kind of come together and really just support a cause greater than the game."
Hey CTV how about showing a goalie wearing Brian’s equipment not CCM!
